I just got an offer to part ex my car with a Hilux Monster !!!

 

Not sure I've got this right but isn't that one beast of a 4 x 4 ?

A Hilux is a 4x4 mate yep :D Good car too - very far from a zed or being fast even - or being good at handling even :rofl:

 

My dad has an old one as a workhorse - keeps going and going :D

dont do it mate my brother has an x5 and has done for years and swears by it. stick with what you originally wanted mate. not worth taking more of a loss than you already have as silver streak is a beautiful car and deserves better for it.

Just like top gear,,,,,,,,,,, its not theres is it

Just sent me a picture of it, also on Piston heads.

 

WTF !!!!!

Looks smart and i dont think its as slow as people may think

Did i say not good at handlng? How about AWFUL handling :rofl: :rofl:

Thats ace!!! dont actually think its a sensible px for a zed tho particularly yours bud

go for it, thats awesome

Are you a farmer? Great for bogs & forestry work

youd have to learn parachuting just to get out of it. not too safe for the family.

I like that!

looks quality, do it mate

 

seems to have had the time and money spent on it similar to your zed, although not as much and in a diffrent direction.

tell you what fella, i bet you could sell that once your bored of it easyer than the zed.

go for it, thats awesome

 

My thoughts too, well ace!

i saw that about a year ago for sale on ebay i think

 

one of the pics was in a pub car park that thing is massive lol

 

and iirc it was for sale for about 5 grand not 100% sure

 

id do a px with it for sure nice bit of kit

If its anything like the regular Hilux (and I expect its worse than a regular hilux) then its very utilitarian ....a lot like an old Transit to drive, and nothing like modern 4x4's.

i love driving our transit van

just ask yourself a couple of questions, do you really want it? would you ever consider buying 1 for cash?, would it be any easier to resell than the z? good luck with wharever you decide

Thats pritty smart, i would be tempted if i was you.........But can you imagine the price of a tyre for that thing.lol!!

The Hilux 4 x 4 is unbreakable and an absolute trojan, doing what it is meant to be doing - off road work, farm work, builders work, forestry etc... My brother had one (without the monster suspension and wheels) and used it for what it was designed for. I had the loan of it from him once before he sold it on. Brother loved it, but he'd go up the mountains deer hunting with it.

 

I have owned/own a trooper, amazon and X5 which are all 4x4's. When it comes to regular driving, the older Hilux (that one) isn;t in the same league even in comparison to the trooper. A better comparison would be to a tractor. I am not kidding. Awful pickup, bad handling and wait for it, bad MPG.

 

Get rid of the thought from your head or you deserve a :mac1:

I've got a 2 year old X5 as our daily and absolutly love it.

As it drives like a car not a wallowing old barge.

Just to put the record straight. I would not trade my 300 for that. Nor would I buy it if it was £2k and I had the cash to spare.

Agreed. Bit like the mid-90s Shogun (Pajero) and old Landrover Discoverys. Horrible wobbly drive.
