The Toyota Hilux Thread

[Quantum Theory]

BS, serious on paper, but have you ever seen an RGM modded car perform head to head with a different tuner? They charge an arm and a leg and dont deliver.

They won their class at the Simola Hill Climb this year, with a modded Golf R.

That may be so, but I can guarantee you you can get better results from a different tuner at a 3rd of the price.

Guys dunno why the assumption...I didn't say they are good or bad I just gave two reasons why ppl go there. "Brand" name & big power gains.

When Toyota first did the 72 hour challenge it was not on paper. It was real bakkies.

But not with RGM conversions, right?

I prefer real cars as well over fake cars

No, but it got dethroned by "GM inventions" - LOL.

"On that note, the engine conversion comes with a minimum six month / 20 000km warranty and comes at a total cost of R105 000, which means having one of the meanest Hilux bakkies in town will set you back R603 900 for a 4x2 and R693 900 if you want a 4x4."

On a serious note, this is by FAR the biggest marketing F-Up ANY company could ever make. WTF are they thinking. They should pay him NOT to launch the Hilux/Fortuner.

If I had a Hilux, I would go trade it in on a Ranger. Question is though, would Ford even take it as a trade in seeing that it's endorsed by Zuma.

Impressive how the Hilux is #1 even though it's a fair bit more expensive.

Very close considering Ranger launch momentum has worn off while Hilux in full swing.

Ford Credit discount deals no doubt helping Ranger numbers too. Just ordered another 2.2 base Ranger for my fleet.
