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

Post by Alex2539 »

HI there :wave:

Me and my friends had a debate this weekend about the power outputs of the 07 3.0 hilux vigo and the 2010 3.0 hilux raider. I urgue that they all produce the same power output (stock), the other guys urgue that the hilux vigo is more powerful. i hereby stand to be corrected??? i will only believe this in case of the 2011 vigo

looking at the new hilux, i ask my self why is toyota SA so stiggyyyy?, the REVO is really well equipped as compared to the raider.

Keep in mind that with every face lift they tinker with the VVTi etc to produce just a bit more power. So the latest version could definitely have more power. But not by a huge margin...

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 one day replace my Hilux but i can't wrap my head around buying the SA spec.

Sucking the hind tit.

That is the correct term.

A 4x4 is merely a machine that enables you to get stuck further away from civilization.
