Now what do you mean "typical Queenslander"???????????

Jeez Lokka, you'll need to dumb it down some more.

What got into my craw was the blantant lies Tojo told in their advertisements about their involvement in the Snowy River Scheme.They came straight out in the media and said Toyotas built the Snowy Scheme.Fact is that Theiss bought 3 out for a trial all the rest were landrovers ( over 400 ).
To give you all a laugh I attach two pics from one of my trips to Cape York.
Be free to form your own opinion on just how good they are off road.

Even now, the 4.0l V6 in our D3 isn't a UK option either (Which is probably just as well with petrol prices there!)

My mate had an old Tojo with the straight in.It was a replica of the chevy 6.We had to take it out and it was so heavy it nearly pulled his house down.
Running it got 12MPG .Typical Jap crap they have never invented anything just copied..like a recent post in the UK and Europe about their latest...all toyota is doing is playing catchup..so bloody true.Yet so many fall over here for their their hype..the mind boggles,and yes I'm a 4th generation Aussie.

Typical Queenslander:

A blow in from elswhere in Australia, usually NSW or Vic. They arrive and settle close to the coastline, rarely far from their beloved milk-bars and shopping precincts, bringing with them below par skills and common sense. Typical Queenslanders should not be confused with Real Queenslanders, or their close cousins from WA or NT.

In one 4WD Monthly DVD I was loaned he went back somewhere in Sth Aust and looked at some old Land Rovers on a property. He said that they were mostly used as a farm vehicle and the family used to have another vehicle to go to town in. He was full of praise for their ruggedness and ability but said "Jeeze they were rough!"
He reckoned that when the Toyotas came round people felt comfortable using the same vehicle for the farm work AND going into town.
