Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought 05 for £24k traded in a year later for £16.5K. Found it difficult to sell privately.
Costs
Depends on the dealer some charge £50 and hour other £75. Needs a service every 10k - better than the Colorado.

Driving
Much smoother and quieter than the Colorado, more car like and less like a truck. Some may think it wallows but it is very comfy.
Performance
Good performance, the D4d engine does the job.
-
Living with it
Reliability
It's a Toyota, 85% of real 4x4 in Africa and Oz are Toyota.
Image
I like the looks.
Comfort
Leather would be nice, but it seats 8 and can pull a trailer without feeling it. Cruises at 80 easily, in fact you need to watch you don't creep over the ton.

Security and Service
Security
No real problems.
Service
Can be pricey, check the hourly rates but it is a solid vehicle.
