2011 Toyota Hi-lux KUN26R 3.0 turbo diesel from Australia and New Zealand

Summary:

Most useful Ute I ever had

Faults:

Nothing.

General Comments:

10 litres per 100 Km.

5 speed manual.

Acceleration is good. Can feel the turbo doing its job, it pushes you back in the seat a little bit.

Change the oil every 5,000 km and it will last for a million Km.

The tyres it came with made the speedo inaccurate, so I put on larger tyres and it's good. 265/75/17.

Doesn't rust.

Smooth acceleration.

The tub is 1.6 x 1.6 metres.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

2011 Toyota Hi-lux D4D Invincible 3.0 turbo diesel from UK and Ireland

Summary:

Excellent, about to exchange it for another one

Faults:

Tracking out from new, dealer corrected and replaced both front tyres.

General Comments:

Comfortable to drive long distances, other than lack of lumbar support in the seats.

Handling is better than you would expect from a pick-up, but not up to car quality.

Very flat torque curve, so it can be driven in 5th most of the time.

Extremely capable off-road, even on road tyres.

Excellent navigation and multimedia system, which includes an iPod connector in the glove box.
