Re: WHY IS THE REVO/VIGO ALWAYS HAS BETTER SPECS THAN THE SOUTH AFRICAN ASSEMBLED HILUX

And you are very correct especially when it comes to the new Hilux. I am in Zimbabwe and we started receiving the Revo in November last year. My friend just bought the SA assembled Hilux and it does not have LED lights, key-less entry, Start button like the Lexus, and a few other things. I hope to o...

Re: Test drove the 2015 Toyota Hilux. Impressions...

Thanx for sharing Masimba Seems like South Africa will be the last country in the world to get the new Hilux/Revo I hope they will improve the suspension. Sad to hear about the performance. Would be interesting to see what the real fuel consumption is. Very true, not only SA but Africa in General a...

Test drove the 2015 Toyota Hilux. Impressions...

So the new Hilux arrived in Zimbabwe this past weekend. Dealer at Chisipite (for those who know Harare) has 3 new models on the floor with 12 models on the water. Here are my initial thoughts after a test drive: 1. The car is huge. I parked it next to my D4D and man it looked small. 2. What you see ...

Re: 2016 Fortuner

The Fortuner should land in Zimbabwe within the next month. Inside is amazing. Outside requires a bit more beers to get used to. But as always they will sell. Time it arrives will give live pictures and reviews.

Re: 2016 Hilux?

Hi. So the new Hilux arrived in Harare this past Friday (25/07/2015) and the dealer had 3 models. By today Sunday, two were sold and the last one left is a demo. He decided because of the attention from the public and clients he would open on Sunday for people to have a look at the car. It's amazing...

Re: What mileage on your 3.0 D4D

I also think we should include the year of make with the mileage. I am from Zimbabwe, bought my gem in October 2010 and have done 190 000km. Changed the shocks at 160 000, and the battery at 170 000. Change my tires every 70 000 bad service every 10 000km. Still no injector problems (touch wood) and...

Re: 2011 D4D Xtra Cab sound quality issues

My double cab has the worst sound system to be honest. I actually enjoy listening to the turbo than the radio. I can't even put my base @ over 2 because ten sound becomes distorted compared to my wife's Bmw X5. I was thinking of removing the standard speakers but if you want to put a sub why not cha...

Re: Front-mount Cirrus intercooler fitment on KZTE

My wife rolled with my kz-te a few years back before I could fit the IC from SAC. Now I drive the D4D but I am so tempted to want to know how much better that IC you have fitted makes the engine perform during summer dry seasons. Used to drive to Zambia a lot as well as Kariba and I would feel the l...

Re: 2012 Hilux rumours

Without a doubt VW will have some teething issues coming their way regardless of the advertised 8 million km of testing they claim they had. We drivers drive cars differently from the tech guys and when u add your 18 year old who is half drunk after a party and trying to impress his galfriend u get ...

Re: 2012 Hilux rumours

That would break my heart! I now feel that 120kw is childs play Rooies. I am hoping on something just over 150kw to keep some of us happy. My mate has decided to buy the VW Amarok coz the twin turbo removes any lag. I am a die hard Toyota but the next D4D better blow my mind off. I understand that t...

Re: 2012 Hilux rumours

That is true, i would doubt that the engine capacity would be anything beyond the current 3,0litre but its possible that we could see 6 cylinders. I am already feeling like my D4D is underpowered though i am sitting on 120kw. I pray they dont go the VW way...they came to the party a bit lat Ford hav...
