Yes it would. Still time before you load up the container? Remember this, if you don't do it now, you will regret it later...I keep looking at the Chinese versions and trying to erase all the bad reports on them I've read.

Far more practical and fun than big bodacious 4X4 imo.

OT. I think you will find the block for 3 series BMW's is older than that! If it ain't broke...

Of course it isn't did anyone expect it to be?

What exactly can one make new about a truck?

Its likely they do. There doesn't seem to be any changes to coil over assemblies up front from pics I have seen and no way Toyota changed leaf springs. That said the 2014/15 kit will likely fit the new Hilux

Nope. No money in it. The cost would be prohibitive. They will carry over parts for years and years. Seriously, most cars and trucks are simply face lifts and new interiors. Undercarriage, frame, brakes, suspension remain virtually unchanged.

It has been discussed with my wife but you know its funny I found it to be the least practical for me for where I live and we do not own enough land to make it fun. I also cant license it therefore cannot ever ride on the roads. I will stick with a motorcycle for my get away fun along with the truck hobbie.

Thats where Ford go wrong then, when they built an all new Ranger they actually built an all new Ranger.

Anywho we have Toyota here soon to discuss what vehicle mods they want us to perform on the Hilux, I'll ask them then why they carried over the Chassis and suspension and why they claim it is a new vehicle build when it seems they just tarted up the old pig with some fresh lipstick.

Don't forget, the sticker price went up as well...

Oh course, you fucken reckon lippy is free these days ?

^Past experience was that the new models remained pretty much stable at 785,000 manual 2 dr. 4x4...up a bit now I would reckon based on its new shades...Fondles

How yu going Fondles, here's a little reminder 555

Any way, just waiting to get delivery date on me new Hilux 4x4

Toyota have told me 2 door extra cab 1 month, but if I would like a 4 door I can pick it up tomorrow.

Not sure what the issues I had with my Ranger have in common with a discussion about the all new Hilux which seems to be not all new at all.

^Perhaps justifiable homicide over our toys.

Meh.

By the time the dust settled and I sold it I did not actually do too bad out of all of it..

Sure it was on finance and all but the total loss was barely more than the repayments I had made on it.

All the parts were paid for my Ford and the mechanic I employed in the end to rebuild the engine whilst he cost me 60k the bits I had added to the vehicle I sold separately which covered his expense.

Amusingly the vehicle now has a V8 petrol engine in it, The new owner never did come to collect the book which is still in my name !!

Hey Ratchaburi, when you get your new Hilux I'd like to get a few pics of the front and rear suspension if not too much a problem.
