[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7550712, member: 718"] They will both tow it like a champion. Personally I don't like the Hi-Lux but do like the Land Cruiser, so am rather biassed. The 2.4 Toyota engine is not great and the 2.8 in the LC [150] is better and now available in the Hi-Lux. Nevertheless the Hi-Lux is one of the poorer riding one ton pickups and the seating position has never been to my liking and I hate the acres of black plastic in the current HiLux cab which shows up every spec of dust and dried dirt. So I'd vote for the Cruiser for towing a fully loaded trailer of sheep. They don't move around like cattle so a softer rear end is fine. If it were cattle and nothing else but towing stability was to be counted, then I'd take the Hi-Lux. 2.5 tons of cattle dancing around in a 14ft trailer sorts the men trucks from the boy trucks. Yes, I would choose to tow with my 2.2 auto Ranger in preference to my 4.2 Land Cruiser Amazon and I've towed hundreds of cattle with both over many years. I wouldn't refuse to drive either mind you.
