    The rise of the dual-cab ute in this country really is a phenomenon. My neighbours in the inner-city suburbs are both high school teachers that never do any kind of DIY'ing or tradework yet recently bought a Mazda BT-50. For the past year, they've never used it to tow anything and nothing has ever been put in the tray bed. Interesting buyer's decision.

    As a P plater Hilux driver, my 1998 Hilux has turned into my highschools Suzuki swift and Holden Barina recovery vehicle. Every time it rains it gets boggier but yet the school refuses to bitumen it.

    Ah yes the lebo p plater vehicle of choice. In all seriousness when I was in school a year go, half my school car park was filled with Utes driven by p platers and a third of these Utes were hiluxes, although I found that the Ford ranger was more popular at my school

    • @yorakhunt69

    In terms of reliability those older diesels can decide to cark it when you don’t change the oil very regularly
    They also rev 100rpm less than the truly chaddest Toyota diesel, the 1HZ, making the 1HZ the immature P plater weapon of choice.

    I’ve been looking at the new ranger raptor but they are selling at 40k above retail drive away prices. 82k drive away. Used 120k average as the wait time is over 12 months.

    Yeah, the boss at my construction job still keeps his old Hilux whoch has a busted turbo. The thing runs on raw engine power only and is gutless.
    To make things more fun, he frequently overloads it to the point it can't go up a slight incline in anything less than 2nd gear. I get trucks blasting me when going up the Eastlink tunnel incline, unless I get a nice runup.
    When loaded with 1000 kgs, it's terrifying to go faster than 60km/h as the tires become pancakes causing it to drift.
    Still, the damn thing refuses to die.

    Sad I’m like the only kid into four wheel drives all my other friends are into buggatis and lambo and stuff like that but I don’t blame them, those cars are pretty nice too but I think to complex but I did make videos about them because there’s really nice but very complex for sure.

    I feel like Indians and arb people own the hilux more than tradies including the Toyota Camry

      They’re too expensive these days, I see more tradies packed into a paint faded Corolla from 2004 with the suspension on bump stops thanks to all the cement bags in the boot
