malkiserow Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I've been offered a 1999, Toyota Colorado GX 3.0Ltr Diesel Auto, FSH, 1 owner from new, 48,000 miles not used for any off road at all, 8 seats. Never any sort of a crash or bodywork done ever. All paperwork and MOT's etc. It is so nice and original it is tempting..... Are these any good? and what MPG do you get from them? Any experiences good or bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biakalblaster Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Ive got a yr- 2000 W-plate Auto FX Colorado LWB, and had it a year, had a Toyota 4runner for the previous 5 years. The Colorado has been much more refined on the road, and good off road. The 4runner had a suspension lift, so was a bit better offroading. However the Colorado has a rear difflock as standard - check it works!!, it may have seized if not being used. a new rear difflock actuator is £300. Great truck, wanted one for years and haven't been disappointed. prices seem up this year, compared to last year, a quick look on autotrader the other week showed trucks similar spec to mine are 1000-1500 more now than a year ago, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
