    My daily driver highway hauler with a n/a Barra 6 has 340k km (210k miles for imperial folk) on it and doesn’t use a drop of oil or water. Great fuel economy too.
    No rattles or leaks. Just a brilliant piece of engineering.

    No dodgy diesel disasters - sooted-up intake manifolds, hyper-expensive injectors and pumps, turbo problems etc etc.
    Goes like stink and has reasonable fuel economy.
    That makes it handsome to me.
    If I was in Asia id probably get a Hilux. They are a legend over there. But I'd get the diesel.

    I have an older circa 2004 D-4D (Direct injection four-stroke common-rail Diesel) Toyota in Thailand, but the previous owner swapped the diesel engine out and replaced it with LPG

    Thought I replied to this. That is a hansom rig. I'm a Ford man too. Currently just have a beater 2000 F-150 that I paid $1000 for at Richi Bros auction

    I have a Colorado Z71 3.0L turbo diesel. It's pretty gutsy but it's getting on so I'm gonna change it out for a Raptor this year.

    Raptors are cool as fuck but they are pricey

    They are going for the price of a wildtrak now, 2 years old with around 30k on the clock. Maybe a few extras.

    I googled it once now everything I look at comes with Ford ads. Some cracking deals around right now.

    I'm still a ford man at heart. The Triton V8's are rock solid. My dad has a couple super duties with them. But in the later years , they put variable valve timing on them. And there's been a lot of problems with the setup. If I found a Ford in my price range , I would have still bought one. I was just going to put a variable timing delete on it right away. But this Chevy was too good to pass up.

    The Raptors have the newer engine so thats not an issue. But all of these newer trucks are a bit finicky. Do your oil changes. Keep the oil level up and buy the factory recommended oil. Otherwise you will get into problems
