A couple of blokes I know have them and although early days yet, they cant say enough good things about them.
They reckon they are brilliant.

You say upgrade from a 80, are they better than a 80 in your opinion as I love the look of the new 70 wagon but thought they would drive like an old 70

Still reckon the cruiser ute/troopy is the most overpriced vehicle on the market wish they would come down a tad.

Great truck but very expensive for a work truck

200kw in a traytop ute would be plain stupid and scary! :shock:

Had a quick look at one the other day at the back of the local dealership. I think this was the base model (- no power crap, vinal floormats etc ) as I didn't get involved with a Rust Hussler. Definitly a "back to basics" unit , good in the bush (maybe) as it has electronics, although not too much, but as said before way overpriced. Didn't like the look of wiring & sensors mounted down low at the front the engine though. Would have though Toyota would have done better than that. If it would drop another 10-15K it would be a good jigger in any of the configurations.

Moreso the falcon utes - they still run leaves in the back :cool: Very different application though.

Due to the emmision laws, we are stuck with electronics of diesels

The wagon is narrower , steering is better, more power, still has a rigid front end, ideal replacement for the 80 series :) :) :D
