toyota hi lux your thoughts?

[not for sale sorry]

as the title really peeps, i am looking at getting a new vechile in the next year, and just wondering what the hi lux is like if any of you have had one? i want a tipper really but i cant afford the price of a land rover, i no i cant get a tipper in the hi lux but i will just have to bite the bullet budget of £5,000 and i want a 4x4 otherwise i would get a transit

 

many thanks

My girlfriend's old man has a single cab S Reg Hi-Lux with BF Goodrich off road tyres on. He says its the best thing he's ever bought! Really good truck imo.

Very reliable- its a toyota after all, and when loaded they are pretty unstoppable. Unladen i found mine to both be awful on and especially off road, and the load carrying ability leaves a bit to be desired. As a first 4x4 they are pretty good, you can always upgrade to a land rover later, as it should hold its price quite well if you loo after it. And i have seen them with tipper conversions too!

 

I bent my second one though.

o yer tipper conversoins? how much would that cost then? o yer i forgot to say i would like a single cab as well, but i have bein looking around and they are not as common as i thought they would be?

Find another 3k or so and you can have my Land rover tipper, all singing all dancing awesomeness. Its in the classifieds BTW and i would split the trailer off it if you (or anyone else) was serious.

Are you wanting a single or double cab...?

 

Reason being: If you want a double cab get a Mitsubishi L200 instead of a Hilux. Turning circle apart, it has a little more power, longer bed and plenty of 2003 - 2005 ones around for £5k...
