What do you like over the old model?
I havent even seen one up close let alone driven one.

Short story - way more grunt, way nicer to drive, nicer interior. I'll take some closer photos tomorrow

Yes, a 4 or 5 litre diesel and 1000nm of torque be a good start

Why do they look so ugly in the front, don't look right without a winch bar on.
Would love to try one offroad next to my triton, brother in law works for Toyota and he got sent to the tech day where they test drove them and got the usual corporate brainwashing at an offroad track. They had each of the competitor Utes there to look at but funnily never got to drive them and compare

The intelligent manual transmissions really nice. Also the power modes a nice addition. Towed a digger up a steep hill today and put in power mode and it feels like your towing nothing. Tows like a champ on the road too

Intelligent manual?

Disclaimer: I work for Toyota.
They are a big step up from the old ones. Off road they are second to none by a long long way. so much so I had to buy one myself. Even compared to old landys etc the new tech works wonders. Talk to Peter Richie from Natural Instincts 4x4 training, he rates the new one above all else.

I got one today. Not bad. As previously mentioned, massive step up over previous models.

It's nice to be able to go around a corner in the wet without having to grab handfuls of opposite lock for a change.

Road noise is way down compared to my old one too.

Put it this way, I got one, after a week my work mate who rode passenger ordered one. Then his brother took his for a drive and ordered one haha

So intelligent manual is just automatic heel toe?

+1 ?

When the common rail became common lots of em(diesel manuals) had the annoying trait of not actually fully dropping the throttle when you changed gear...like a sticky throttle cable but not.

Yeah sounds like it's basically anti lag system so you don't fuck the gear box and always in optimal boost/power range.

Good idea.
Anti lag use to make awesome back fires in the race car.

The trait I am talking about makes your gear changes longer cause the bloody engine wont drop revs fast enough to change increasing lag.
