Hello I'm new here

Post by Senyetse »

Hey Everyone

I'm Charles, from Krugersdorp. I don't own a Hilux but I hope to soon. I currently drive a Yaris sedan but I really need something to get into the veld with. I'll be asking some opinions sometime...

Great forum.

Dankie ouens :wave:

Don't worry, I'm quite convinced about a Hilux. I'm a Toyota fan (I currently drive a Yaris sedan). I drove a Hilux 4x4 back in my student days (about 98 -99) on a game farm in Zim. There were some bad patches, especially in the clay soils but the Hilux handled them perfectly. I had to use a winch and the spade several times but the vehicle kept on going.
