Outer Limits 4x4 Board

A mate is lookin at an 07 hilux. It has 47,000kms on it. Both front tyres are bald. The dealer told him many hiluxs come out of the factory with poor alignment.

Is this dealer tellin porkies? I found it a little hard to believe.

Are there any other things to look for on a used hilux? Going to test drive it tonight.

Thanks!

If not aligned properly they will wear tyres, just like any car. Get one aligned at a decent shop and they are fine. Also I would be telling the dealer to throw in 2 new tyres, they shouldn't be selling unroadworthy cars.

my o8 hilux i had had a shit allignment out of the shop. had a hell off a time trying to get it alligned. after 6b allignments from different shops i sold the car. couldn't get it right.

How was it wearing the tyres e.g. smooth on the inside edge, or feathered and chewed out?

hilux do come out factory with bad alinements i have to fix alot of them. if is used off road alot it will move the adjusters, just get them to get new tires and wheely. the new luxs r good can do caster, camber, toe

yes they do, in fact they should have a wheel alingment at PD.

and keep an eye of the rack end boots if they get a hole in them the rack will rust and your up for a new one
