Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey all, im thinking about gettin a 03 extra lux v6 petrol auto or a 93 dualcab lux 2.8l turbo diesel 5 speed... but do know which would b better. i will be goin up the beach n out the bush, will also be a daily driver and will have to be able to pull a camper trialer and carry a yz450f. Any help would be great.


thanks

Diesels are known for being gutless on the road, but they are all torque, which makes them awesome for off road stuff.
Petrols dont have the torque that diesels do, but they are better onroad.

Is the diesel a solid axle?? If its a solid front axle, that would be the winner, for me anyway.

you will get sick of the guttless bouncy ride of the 93 2.8L... the 03 want go as far in the bush but will be better ofr everything else... and if u really want better 4x4.. a locker for the diff will fix that

the 03 v6 has lsd in both diffs winch 3 inch lift etc its also a 4speed auto

The later model V6 lux any day of the week mate. Unless you intend to modify the diesel hilux the later model lux will beat it off road too in stock form or close to it. The only thing going for the diesel lux is reliability and strength (even that's debatable given the age difference). Driveability, comfort, handling, performance basically everything is in the 03 luxes court between these two.

The Diesel he's mentioned is a Turbo so it won't be *too* gutless. My '94 2.8TD goes fine on the road with 32" tyres. Holds 110kph on the highway.
I would say if you are going to be buying a daily driver over a weekend toy the later model would be better, mainly for the eason mentioned above already, solid axel's not exactly a comfortable ride.

thanks all, im hoping 2 goin look at the 03 this wkn

the 03 was a scam ad. wanted money

Yeah there are heaps of online scams around these days. Usually the poor spelling and grammar give them away. I came accross a nigerian based scam while looking for my Hilux. Also got heaps of dodgy text's when selling a car recently.
