This is the car I bought
630 NM
Kerb weight 2740 kg
Tow rating 3500kgs
Gave 11,0 L/100km back home from Johburg at 120-130 km/h
One owner (yes a woman), and never been off the tar
Reason for selling...she bought an Evogue (YUCK!!!)
Private sale R110 000.00 under trade retail
I drove nonstop through the night not to miss this deal ( and 17 stop/starts between Nieuwhoutville and Calvinia alone!)
Gauteng equals angst and is an onslaught on the senses and NO place for anyone to have to live
I think the first place I am going to tow my boat to is over the mountains to Clanwilliam for a week's therapeutic bass fishing!
On the downside, this car has more systems and gadgets than a Space Shuttle, and I sit in the sticks
That's cool! I loved my Landy! Till the mileage got high.Thanks guys,
Bennie, mileage is 95 000
flipping bargain at R110K.........if anyone knows of another let me know.
I've been looking at getting the new Jeep GC, cars are damn expensive!!! giving it a skip
Bennie, where do you get this info about a new hilux from, is that fact?There will be a new Hilux next year and I'm certain they will go the same "big" vehicle rout as ford.

The magic number for these seems to be 170k. Suspension and Turbo.
The motors are unbreakable though and you can get genuine turbos for around 15k. Suspensions all give hassles eventually but it is usually the sensors and the compressors. About R15k. Only the serious off road guys have suspension bladder failures.
Heavy beach work... Monitor bearings in the transfer case - 12K.
Turbo pipes blow. Old ones are made from plastic and they all go. If you suddenly have loss of power and it bellows black smoke, don't stress, it's the turbo pipe. Costs about R2500 to replace. Replacement ones are reinforced rubber.
Also, just check if yours also has a plastic thermostat housing. If it does, mine popped open at 150k and caused R35k damage. Literally splits in half. Blew head gaskets. It only costs R1600 for a new housing.
These are the common Landy issues.
Other than that, great cab!
