    Troll or not, that's awesome.

    Given it's the most popular truck in the US, I'd expect lots of issues on CPS- man made machines will have occasional issues. My first yota, been a Nissan guy forever. Love it. It's relatively uncomplicated, sometimes chincy, but great overall.

    just something I've heard from someone who imported an older land cruiser as well that was a diesel, the diesel used in places like australia and south africa is different from what we use here in north america and the land cruiser this person had, needed a huge overhall of the fuel system to be able to use our diesel.

    So just something to be aware of.

    But congrats other wise.

    And how does buying a garage queen make it more reliable than a 3rd gen?

    I can still get parts, they just come from halfway around the world.

    Awesome truck! But from the photos I think I can spot an assembly error. It looks like they accidentally put the steering wheel on the wrong side!

    It's right hand drive! It took me mentally a few minutes getting used to.

    Wait till I show my 9 year old son! He's been a fan since he go into Top Gear. He's always comparing my truck to a Hilux. LOL :)

    None at all...

    just laughing at your reasoning to trash 3rd gen trucks for so long being as unreliable for you to stay away from but then buy a truck you're only going to drive occasionally due to rarity of parts and replacement factor.

    Like I said, enjoy your purchase.

    I never said I would limit driving because of parts availability. I want to keep it in the garage because it's a unicorn. I still have 2 other vehicles to put miles on. I'll drive the Hilux when I need to use the bed.
