All brands seem to have their horror stories.

I'm on my 4th Hulux and never had an issue. Still can't quite get used to the new model shape though ....... and the 2.8 D does worry me a bit. They are pushing the modern diesel motors way too hard in IMO.

Next model is apparently a 2.4lt but according to the salesman don't worry cause cc rating means nothing!!

Anyway off to give a 2016 Colorado a test drive today
