Why do Toyota persist in using a smallish 4 pot and a low towing limit? Hugely limits the potential customer pool.

Agree. The new Hilux is 3.5t so you'd think itd make sense for the land cruiser to match that at least sonit appeals more to the horsey/caravan brigade never mind commercial operators. I think the new land cruiser due for next year is 3.5t though?

At  2.8L not a small engine for a truck it's size, and I think 3 ton tow limit on swb truck is plenty.

Looks a great 90 replacement! 

I really liked the 2.8 in the hilux, both for towing and daily driving

No many Swb trucks on the market. Took me 8 months to find 1 in England most are over in Ireland.

My new Hi Lux Invincible X is due in at the dealers in October they say. I'm almost getting excited, but I will be sad to say goodbye to my (second) Disco 2, as it has been great.

I am going to be parting with one of our arbtrucks. 2016 Iveco 75 tipper Euro6. Built the body myself. Been a good truck for the 4 years we've had it. 4.5t empty though so gives 3 ton / 10-12m3 of chip.

 

We do highways work primarily so having thespadce for road barriers was the handiest addition.  PX against an 18t hook loader most likely as I'm not sure there will be a lot of interest as 7.5t drivers are rare now.

New Transit arrived. 
Got a quote for €5k for an arb body. 
Problem is they want it for 3 weeks. 
So I’m exploring other options.

Tell them they can have it over Christmas Mick.

They couldn’t start it till mid Jan. 
I’m hoping to fly my extremely handy brother over to do it between Xmas and new year.
