hi jon, however much I love it, its a lot of money for a pick up.

would like a mog to:001_tongue: one day......

well i counted the cylinders on that landcruiser and it was only a 6 cylinder versus the latest 4.5L V8 which is awesome but can you imagine how much one of those would cost FFS !

[scraggs]

Well if you aren't VAT registered that's over £55k. I would have to be mentally insane to spend that sort of money on a truck that as stated has very little parts backup at best and is a LHD.

For that money I would rebuilt a landy on a galvanised chassis and then plant a Cummins 6bt and ZF box in it, now that would be a real truck and parts would be easy to get and still have a lot of change left in my pocket

How does the engine compare weight wise, it probably loses you 1/4 tonne of payload and you'd be massively undergeared using a standard transfer box and diffs?

Anyway didn't the Landcruiser bloke indicate they would be coming available in RHD or am i dreaming ? Toyota UK shud be bringing these in at a more realistic price and then spares and the associated backup, software wood give peace of mind.

No RHD

Do Toyota do service?

 

Massively disappointed with them when looking at buying a pickup.

We were in the market for a single cab Active spec Hilux. Local dealership could could not show us or get in to test a single cab, Active spec, manual gearbox or anything with same engine. Only interested in selling double cab invincibles with auto box. Sorry for derail but really peeved with Toyota

[difflock]

erm,

At that sorta money for a LHD Toyota, ow much ud a 461 "Worker" spec "G" Wagen imported from Germany be?

I also wonder if MB will ever offer the Aussie Mil-spec 6*6 "G" Wagen for straight commercial sales.

Now they are sexy kit.

see linky

G Wagon - Australian Army

Another aside, the 6*6 seen driving through the mud in the wee video clip, very very much reminds me of the famous American WW2 "Duce and a half",
