Hi guys, my name is diederik,and I am new here. I am about to buy a hilux D 4x4 single cabin. It is going to be my working horse for i am going to built a lodge in Mozambique. So it has to be a strong baby! I want to buy the old model, like 10 upto 15 years old. Because it will have to be easily fixed when broken (in moz.) Any of you out there could advise me witch year/engine model i buy best?? Next week I will drive to Joh.Burgh for this mission.
Thank you!

Hi and welcom!!!
What hiluxes are readily availible in Moz? buy according to what you know will be fixed easily. For example, if there are few 3L running around you will have a little problem there.

I am also in the market for a Hilux.
What price is reasonable for a 2005 2.7l with 150000km with canopy and one owner?
Any advice.

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
