Have you had problems with the Hilux?

The only trouble I had was the starter went 3 months ago apart from that never skilled a beat.

One problem I have heard about with the new Navara ( from the Nissan mechanic Dez from Yorkshire engine supplies vid Youtube ) is there is something that rubs and eventually wears through the bottom radiator  hose and dumps all your coolant . This is prevented buy the simple fix of attaching a cable tie to it to keep it out of the way . If you want to know all about Navaras , pros and cons its worth watching his vids .

Only trouble I had was with forward facing camera housing trapping moisture and tripping out all the features. It was eventually acknowledged as a type fault and remedied with a Toyota mod which included a heater element in the shroud. 

 

That and disappointing early onset underbody corrosion. 

 

Other than that, all was dandy.

Mine is the last of the old shape 3ltr so has been pretty good all round. 

Reckon the new one isn’t actually as comfortable to drive as the mk7 or the navara.

Not sure about that.

 

I had the 3l invinsible on a 65 plate.  Sold after a year as I moved to Norway.  I bought the new shape here in Norway and it is great to drive.  I would even say it surpasses the older model.

 

My 3l felt almost tractor like when I upgraded it from my Navara Tekna.

Just took the mk8 invincible X out uncomfortable for me right knee constantly pressing against hard door trim no such Previous model. Each to there own. I was definitely not going to do long journey in that.

I like my 3ltr invincible, but often think about upgrading mainly for the need for 3,5t towing ability,

navara n-guard is top of the list if I go for a new mainstream motor, better spec, warranty and can tow 3,5t

Navara n-guard definable on my radar along with a 3.2 wildtrak. 

 

The 3ltr hilux is a good truck but I do a lot of miles and need the 6 speed box for motorway.
