hilux New Hilux Tipper on Order

[JonnyRFT]

So I’ve secured a new job at a firm of which requires a new truck. After a bit of searching I’ve decided to order the new Hilux extra cab with the tipper conversion from Toyotas “Trade Plus” scheme. 

 

Here’s hoping it’s a good choice. I’m not sure on Toyotas lead times for delivery but I’m damn excited.

 

Here’s a stock image of what I’ve gone for...

Smart looking truck mate.  The 60mph speed limit didn’t put you off?

What’s the truck going to be used for?

Not really, I’m used to it now. I lease a VW T6 at the moment which ended up having the speed restriction. I thought I was being clever by ordering a Kombi with 204bhp so I could have some fun but it got a N1 classification in the end due to it being 3200GVW.

Small jobs, backup and mostly chip and towing. It’ll have a bucket on the back when it turns up too.

I’ve got a chip box on the back of mine but had to upgrade the leaf springs as the standard ones weren’t great when towing and with a load on

Ah, good to know. Thank you. How is the truck in general? Easy to live with?

Had my truck for 4&1/2yrs now and all good, have got the extra cab also so I can get my boys car seats in. Mine is on a 09 plate but is still running nice. Got my leaf springs from Midland road springs.

Has he been given a build/delivery date yet?

I’ve only just put the order in so I won’t hear for a while but as I have the mental age of a 6 year old child, I’m bouncing around, all excited for it to turn up.

He ordered it on the 14th of March. It’s still not here yet but we no someone that waited 10 weeks for his. He said it was worth the wait tho. Where about did you order yours from ?
