Hilux 3.0D4-D automatic

Post by Bossie1 »

Question. I drove an automatic petrol Hilux the other day from Nylstroom to Pretoria. The gear shifts were irretating. For no obvious reason the gearbox would shift up and down. :thumbdown:
I am thinking of buying the diesel with auto (if they can find stock!!) and want to hear from you if the diesel is doing the same. I heard that because of the diesel's torque band, it is not the same disaster as with the petrol?
Your comments please.

Bossie ek ry die 3D D4D auto as 'n werksbakkie en is baie tevrede met die auto box. Ek ondervind nie die shift probleem wat jy van praat nie. Al wanneer die box shift is teen opdraendes met die cruise control aan en as jy hom vastrap. Ek het nooit gedink ek sal die auto box so geniet nie. Ek sal twee keer dink in my lewe voordat ek ooit weer handrat sal wil koop..

Dankie Knersus
Gemoedsrus om dit te hoor.
Die petrol is regtig 'n probleem met die auto. Geen plesier.
Ek het die bakkie bestel, MAAR geen voorraad. Ek wag nou - ONgeduldig.

Ek ry ook die 3.0D4D auto.
In my lewe sal ek nie weer aan 'n handrat dink nie.

Ek stem heeltemal saam met almal!

Ek het ook 'n auto en op die ooppad geen issues.
Off-road is awesome, kan nie jou clutch breek nie en die linkerbeen rus die hele pad!

Enigste issue vir my die die engine compression teen 'n lekker afdraand - compression is daar maar die "slip" tussen die engine en drivetrain is daar en dus wil die bakkie bietjie vinniger hardloop, maar voet op die briek sort hierdie darem uit.

Manual wat??? :tease:

Hi

I drive a 3 litre legend 40 automatic

One of the best vehicles to drive......we just did a 2 week trip in Botswana

and my friends were really impressed with the Hilux performance in all sections....esp in real 4x4 territory........Economy great...performance very good .....driver also good hehe

I suggest you get to drive the auto hard before you make your choice.........

regards

Toe ek my bakkie gekoop het, het ek ook die Auto getoets bestuur en ek like daai 5 spoed Auto baie. Hy het sommer baie lekker gery. Met al die verkeer hier in Londen dink ek baie daaraan om 'n Auto te kry.
