Dinosaurs 2,062 Posted May 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 Only built to last warranty ???? Its 13 years old done 200 k miles spent a lot of its time "off road" & worked hard all its life with no real issues. I'll be gutted when she eventually packs up ?

Silversnake 1,099 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Believe it or not I am happy to hear that, maybe thirteen years ago they built them different, I have heard numerous stories here how great rangers are until things start going wrong, while the old hilux just keeps chugging on. In saying that I have heard bad things about the new model hilux. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dinosaurs 2,062 Posted May 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Cheers bud. When i bought it new in 2004 the plan was to change it after 3years but never wanted to get rid of it. Still hoping i can get a good bit more time out of it as still a comfy motor & for whatever reason still enjoy driving it. ? My missus reckons its coz im an old git & dont like change?? Hate it when shes right!! ? Atb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silversnake 1,099 Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 I hope she lasts you forever mate, having a good truck you know and trust is like having a good dog. If it has served you well for thirteen years it is a good truck and I hope it continues to serve you well. Atvb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
