I have owned both and would say about the same when towing. The hilux is alot lighter so when solo has bags more power than the defenders.

And the driving position is correct, you can even wind the window down on a hilux when your driving it - whatever next lol

 

That doesn't matter. You need the window open to drive in the first place

I've got a landy and I understand they have there faults.....but I do like towing my work mates hilux out of the woods in the winter when it gets stuck in.

 

As long as the wood is not too far away :biggrin:

I bought a new Nissan Navara in 2002 instead of a Hilux because it only had about 100hp compared with nav at 130hp and was 3k cheaper. Big mistake the Hilux performs better than the figures suggest If I bought a hilux we would probably still have it. The Navarra was distroyed in 2 years could not wait to see it gone. Have a 1998 hilux tipper now and its indestructable.
