There are two on ebay at the moment - just search hilux king cab. One of the things that put me off the Toyota was the fact the smaller door does not open which I would find really restrictive. I went for a Ranger Super cab and it is extremely convenient being able to open the smaller door to give unimpeded access to the area behind the seats.

I have considered the ranger, for the money they look really good but I don't know what there like for reliability, I had a hilux some years ago and gave it a seriously hard time farming on exmoor and it never missed a beat hence why there my first choice it they are rare and expensive and rare. Think I've found 5 on ebay but all seem to be quite a long way away

I bought my 07 Ranger with 27,000 miles on the clock just over two years ago and have now done 63,000. In that time apart from normal servicing it has only required one UJ on the propshaft. Performance wise it is very easy to drive, a good motorway cruiser, competent off road and hauls a load of logs day in day out without complaint. You could sat I'm a fan!!! And there are more available and cheaper than over priced Hiluxes.

It seems to be a bit of a lottery with these vehicles.

All my farmer mates have Hilux/L200/Navara/ Isuzu/Ranger variants and have had various issues with all over the last 10 years.

 

The Hilux that Top Gear tried to kill years back is a thing of the past.

 

If you did that to any of the current trucks it would simply stop.
