Hello from Hilux country!!

wowo cool everything looks like a cross between a Tacoma and a 4Runner inside the cabin.

What does the Raider package include? is it like our sport and off-road

 

yea ive never hurd of a raiders package

 

Welcome! Pretty nice ride, I'm partial to the Tacoma variant but those trucks last so much longer.

 

We get only the single cab and double cab which pisses me off a bit because every other make, Isuzu/Nissan/Mitsu/Ford all get xtra cabs.
Mine is a 4x2 2.7 VVT-i Raised body Raider - (the 4x4 is only available with the 3.0 d4d(1KD-FTV) and 4.0 V6(1GR-FE) which also come in 4x2.)
It comes with: a/c, abs,airbags, cd/mp3, electric mirrors, electronic rear difflock, fog lights, transponder key/alarm with remote control central locking, tip up rear seat,electric windows and alloy wheels with265/70/16.
Thin alu side steps are standard but the rollbar and nudge bar are extras, canopys(not shure what you call them) are very popular here but are an expensive extra the BFG are extra.
I agree with Tacoholic and prefer the look of the Tacoma. We have just introduced a facelifted model here and the front end changes quite a bit and is a bit more like the Taco(I will get some pics and also get some pics of the Fortuner which is a SUV based on the Hilux chassis and has the same motors but no 2.7 in our country)
The city that live in(Durban) has a huge Toyota plant and the Artic Hilux(red one) was actually built here before getting all the mods in Europe.
At a direct Rand/$ conversion of 1:9 my Hilux new would be about $25000.00

 

Welcome!

 

Yeah my old chugger - 300 000 kms and nothing major done to her.
That pic is taken on the beach in a town called Maxixe (pronounced mash-eech) and looks across the bay to the old Portugeuse town of Inhambane in Mocambique - what a great place to get away with the guys.

 

MOAR!!!

africa and australia get all the coolest 4x4s!

 

congrats on the purchase....im cursing that only south africa gets the hilux with optional rear diff lock.

 

I saw them all over the Caribean Islands. Nice vehicle. Yours must be defective- the steering wheel in on the wrong side. LOL

 

Welcome to TW. Always good to see other countries on here.
Can you get me a two tone leather steering wheel?? TRD edition for that region and Austrailia.

I'm with ya!
