The best offense is a great defense?

I wonder why Toyota and Nissan don't offer these ute's for sale in Australia?

Could it be that outside of NA there's no market for such mighty thirsty beasts?

Ung - Because you guys get the Hilux, one of the best utes around.

I would lean toward the Tundra.

Just had a conversation with a Tundra driver at a gas station while I was taking the Duc out for a spin.  It was a work supplied truck and he was a manager of a large cranberry operation.  He said the truck was reliable and very comfortable, but that the traction control system was  PITA off road, where he spent quite a bit of his time.   Thoughts?
This isn't a dress rehearsal for life - this is it!

The traction control can be turned off if necessary. It's nice (safe) to have on the road.

It's actually quite easy to disable - just push the button on the dashboard.  There are very few times you'd ever need to turn it off, however.  Off-roading is one of them.

It's built into the Vehicle Stability Control system, which is not only nice to have, it has been required on all light duty vehicles (1/2 ton trucks and smaller) since 2012MY.

Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Nuttin'.  [thumbsup]

Mine gave me 8.5 years of totally trouble-free use. If I actually needed another pickup I'd buy another in a heartbeat.
