SubscriberDual cab 4x2 Hirider Hilux - $46K, Single Cab Trayback 4x4 Hilux - $47K. Both povo packs 2.4 litre diesels but they would hold their value well and I would drive either (and have) over a Chinese offering. I had a base model Hilux for many years as a company car - suspension sucked, but so does my current model SR5...Originally Posted by ramblingboy42
Failing that, a second hand newer version of a dual cab - apart from the early Rangers, which it sounds like you have now - gearbox go bang bang on those.
Does it just need to do utility duties or have to be 4WD?
If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

It has to be 4x4 , another extended inside Simpson crossing coming up next year , followed by a Wolf Creek trip , or a climb up the western side of Queensland.
there are some 2021 model Rangers on the market now over $110k , some new models over $120k+
nothing wrong with my Ranger , I was considering upgrading to auto/dual cab to allow swmbo to drive/use.....I'm a kept man but the Ranger is too much of a truck to her. The German connection is next try.

SubscriberIf your talking Amarok, one bad thing about them (auto) I've heard (unless it has been fixed) is that they can't reverse over a house brick. Many have had trouble reversing trailers and caravans up driveways etc.
Something to do with torque limiting in reverse.IDK. There is plenty on the net about it.

SubscriberEvery day of the week I would take that $45k and put it on an MR Triton automatic. There is no better value and reliability proposition on the market. Cheers

SubscriberOr an MQ with very low k's (plenty for sale under 50,000) with some fruit already installed for that price or less. Cheers
Very Very Lucky!
Imagine reading the instructions!

SubscriberDunno why people ignore the D-Max, which is possibly better than all of 'em, or the Mazda BT-50, the current one of which is based on the Isuzu.
Of course, whichever one, there is a long wait for delivery atm.

SupporterOne of my young blokes bought himself a brand new Mahindra dual cab 5 years ago and has had nothing but problems with it since day dot, He has vowed Never to buy another Chinese manufactured 4WD ever again.
Eventually the Chinese manufacturers will finally get the quality and build right But untill then the Japs have the 4WD market pretty well sewn up.

SubscriberIs he certain it was made in China? It could have been because Mahindra has two plants there, but they are an Indian company so it could have been made on the Sub Continent.
Serious question.
