The local SAR team who cooked us lunch at the Top Hut at the Oteake conservation Park......and who were mainly farmers, thought I would be just a little too high to get an old ewe up there... but hey, I say find a trailer or a youngster to lift her !!Is the new 'lux a bit too low?

Smart looking pickup that. Will it be available in the UK?
Way over priced in this country, can't believe the price of them, plus underpowered with that 4 cylinder. Bet they've got a proper engine in them in NZ.....??The land cruiser looks like the dogs doo dahs to me, proper truck with a good chassis

Landcruiser . . .
They havent had a 4 cylinder engine since maybe the 40 series in the early 80's
They've had about 3 different 6 cylinder diesels around 4 litres & the current engine is a 4.5 l v8 turbo diesel
3.0 4 cylinder 177bhp diesel over here is only diesel engine option. Think you can get a V6 petrol but never seen one. Can never understand why we get all the cooking engines.

Hilux ute ( in various guises, single cab, double cab, tray back, etc ) is the highest selling vehicle in Australia. Lots of dual cabs are basically bought as family cars
Hiluxes are very popular as work / farm vehicles although i personally have not owned one since about 1992
My harvesting contractor recently bought a new dual cab hilux to complement his aging Landcruisers
In his words " its only a commuter vehicle, to go back & forth from work, maybe as an escort vehicle or need to carry a few passengers. Its lovely to drive & good on fuel, but it's no work vehicle. They told me it had a 3.5 t towing capacity, but looking at the chassis & towbar I find that hard to believe. I wouldn't like to tow a fuel trailer, my air compressor or comb trailer behind it. I won't be getting rid of the Landcruisers . . ."

Make sure you don’t get stopped and weighed with a comb on a trailer behind a Ute. They will throw the book at ya. Big blitz on a things like that over this way this year

Used to be quite a few petrol pickups on the market here. Now I don’t think there are any.
No one, we've never had them although these guys seem to have started importing them recently.So who sells land cruiser pick ups in the uk

Not sure where they got the pictures from on their site but it wasn't in the UK.
P.S. What engines do you guys in NZ & Aus get in your Hi Lux's ?
