kiwi535 538 Report post Posted May 17, 2015 (edited) No. I hear the Ford Rangers can be a PITA too. The Hilux I use is at 150,000km and has never had an issue, must have been a good one. What year/ motor is you hilux? Edited May 17, 2015 by kiwi535 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michael. 2313 Report post Posted May 18, 2015 Those Prados are awful. They are as undesirable as Rav4s to my mind. Very much a spare parts car built off the Surf and Landcruiser bits, yet no where near as good as either. I think theres a very good reason why they are so cheap on the used market compared to a proper 80 or 100 series landcruiser. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coop 261 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 That engine is offered in the current Hilux in the Oz market is it not. Was for sale here in the previous shape Hilux early 2000s (where the engine should have been retired as a boat anchor). Just another inefficient fuel guzzling overpriced Toyota that the sheep line up to buy at twice the price of the equalivent Nissan etc. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
