The only good thing my 2006 work hilux ever did well was roll over and play dead.
it spent more time stuck, sideways or on its roof then it did doing the job.
Not too mention the CRAP approach angle with the "factory" bull bar.
Have you seen the hilarious "offroad" tyres toyota provides???? iv seen daewoos with bigger rims . . . . . . .
HOWEVER i would say that Toyota has VERY good Quality control . . . .infact the quality control is SOOOOO good that all Hiluxes come pre-trained to "rollover"
.
Tho the 79series cruiser is fairly dam good, drove it over the canning stock route without any problems.
BUT as good as SOME of the toyotas may be are they really worth $10-15K extra over another manufacturer???
just my 2c worth . .
