1997 Toyota Hi-lux review from Australia and New Zealand
"The best 4x4 anyone could ever own. Tough as nails. Not kidding you"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuel pump needed replacing. That's all.
General comments?
These vehicles are by far the best 4X4 I have ever driven. I am a keen 4X4ER and have taken out plenty of 4x4s ranging from Nissan Patrol, Holden Rodeo, Land Rover, Land Cruiser, a Mitsubishi, and a suzuki.
Of all the vehicles, my Hi-lux has never failed on a uphill track. The rest have and I rolled the Suzuki. The Hi-lux just pulls and has excellent clearance for this one particular track I know. It has deep ruts.
Don't GO PAST A TOYOTA HILUX.
