How do Toyota sell so many Hilux's

**Ace** · 15th August 2007, 09:31 AM

We were wandering around car yards a while back looking at twin cabs out of curiosity and after seeing the triton, narvara and BT50 we looked at the lux and in comparison its so agricultural, and i could understand that they sold more because they were cheaper but they are 5k dearer for a similarly spec'd model and still some of the stuff that is standard on the BT50 and the Triton is optional on the lux, i cant see it myself

Mine's a 2wd version (so shouldn't fall over) NA Diesel. Wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding.
It's 2yrs old and the rear springs have admittedly sagged a little so it is on the overide leaves over all but the smallest pebbles.
I run about 26-28psi in the rears empty to compensate but it's still bloody rough over bigger whoops. The biggest problem if you sit in it for any duration is the seats have no lumbar support.
