2016 V6 throttle response

Suspention makes a huge difference

Re: D4D

Thanks Piet for that link. This is a comprehensive report and very informative. I don't know about you but i get a feeling that the new Hilux is not what we used to and that there is a lot more to do on the car than with the previous 2 models to get it ready for overlanding (except for the powerplan...

The 3lt D-4D - so far so good?

It will be interesting to hear from members driving the new diesel Hilux what they think of it so far. How many km, fuel consumption, likes, dislikes, suspention upgrades that works, any problems?
