Ride is amazing, fit and finish is great. Most of of my friends have/had F150’s over the years. Was my plan to get one also when I got back into pickups. Test drove the Chevy and fell in love. If you haven’t driven a Silverado lately, take a look. They’ve made major improvements over over the last few years. Without driving them, I love the look of the new silverados. The 2019s. Can’t stand anything earlier than them. Having my cousin look into pricing for me tomorrow actually. 16 hours ago, Gugny said: Perhaps Mrags would be interested in something a little more economic and environment-friendly ....

I do see mall parking lots littered with Toyota pickups with TRD stickers and 4wd being engaged once a few flurries start falling from the sky That particular model is known as a Hilux down under. Very popular in the mining segment. Quite dated now. Very agricultural diesel by today's standards. Weak front struts... way to skinny prone to breaking on whoopies. Fantastic vehicle in sand beaches/dunes etc Auto in 2wd will go anywhere without reducing tyre pressures. Interior perhaps optioned different in the US but has never been fantastic compared to other manufacturers. The Landcruiser is the go. I guess depends on what you will use it for. Toyota Landcruier for the win! Modded.... the ducks nuts. Edited December 20, 2018 by Ned Kelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
