zipdog Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 As much as i love the 90 their days are gone now. But they will always be a classic, the next e-type Jag. For me though id go for a Isuzu d max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centrepin Posted October 21, 2021 Report Share Posted October 21, 2021 Much as I've been a Landy man for all my life I've got to say that my sons Hilux pickup 21 plate takes some beating. Superb vehicle. Take a look at what gamekeepers and people who work off road now use. Very little Landrovers to be seen. Almost exclusively Toyota. RIP Landrover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 When I had a job driving surveyors around on the M6, we had Defender 90’s for the job, until one day a Hilux pick up was dropped off. The level of comfort and extras as standard was amazing. It then became a race to get to work first…..first one there always got the Hilux! 🙂 Nephew has an L200, but says it’s only because he can’t afford a Hilux. I have a 110 XS, mate has the crew cab, which I would prefer but wasn’t practical for work, but all the keepers I know have the Hilux.

London Best Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 I have two mates with new Hilux’s. I have driven both and they are both like driving two tons of cold rice pudding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becauase the L200 uses the same drivetrain setup as a Defender. It's the only pickup which does so is the only one which can/could be run on the main road in 4wd in Hi box. The rest use a simpler straight drive set up - so the steering becomes very heavy and limited, and you get excessive wind up if you try to go fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps if you read the whole post again it’ll make sense 🤔 he’s implying that the fact that you can’t get a new one is the problem 🤭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want a Hilux but unfortunately our American overlords tell us they are not up to our crash test standards (motorcycles are though) so this are the closest thing Americans can get. Very reliable, 22-24mpg out of the 4x4 version. It will comfortably tow anything I need it to. I take my Kubota to the mountains regularly.

The reply was no, (but you can buy one new)... Billy is asking why can't you run the Hilux on the road in 4wd, as he can do this with his L200.
