To save all the hassle I will gladly accept a New Hi-Lux to test and evalulate over the next few months, will even take it for a tour with Big Mal behind to properly access it's towing capability, a fuel card as well would be handy, an unbiased opinion of course would be forthcoming.in the fullness of time.
Hi @Drover,
your generosity and willingness to help others are only exceeded by your good looks and mild manners.

Have a nice warm dry day.

cheers
Mike

It's people's willingness to go above and beyond for their fellow Australian's is what makes this country so great. Your benevolence is overwhelming @Drover

While we're at it, if anyone's got new Road King Special they need run in over the next year I'm here to help.

I think it really means it's not a capable as the other Utes. Capacity reductions apply as with all other Utes as you start to add payload

Guess but Toyota have always been conservative, look at the prado. When Isuzu had 3t and all there competitors had 3.5t the next years model remarkedly had 3.5t too with FA diff !!! Personally I like a tow car to have more KGs than what its towing and I certainly don't rate many of the modern things to 3.5. I wouldn't even want 3.5 behind the cruiser tbh
