I paid the downpayment for a L200. But thank god the dealer started jerking me around with the delivery date. So I got my money back and got me a 2007 Hilux, top of the range.
I've had a jeep Cheroke and a For dexplorer, as well as a Landrover Defender with a big @ss V8 in it. But my Hilux with its 2700 CC inline 4 goes places that none of the other 3 4X4s would have dreamed of going.
it's a simple car, no cruise control, power seats. It does have power mirrors,windows and locks.
I totally love this car. I'd say go for it!

I am looking to buy a new one. Yes I know they are not very 'green' but I do tow a 2000kg trailer on a regular basis.

Mine is an old one but its good. very happy with my nissan.

HILUX .... everyday all day long... currently have an 89 with 300.000 ...cant fault them mate

I have this wierd thing for the Toyota Hilux. Go to google and type in Top Gear and Toyota Hilux, watch that.

I drove one once, it had 250k miles on it and was used only to carry trailers. Still worked flawlessly. My respect for that truck is endless.
