Looking for a new(ish) 4x4 ute.
90% of its life on road commuting. 10% towing 5.5m tinny and off-road.
Do about 120km a day.
Looking at low km Utes and the navaras seem cheap.
Anyone in the know have an opinion on the 2.5d ?
Looking at about 30k, ideally after a ute with under 50,000km on it.
is a 2007 with 49kms at auctions in Hamilton,dark grey with canopy for 25k.
I'm in the 3.0 camp Rather than the 2.5... I've known three that have blown their asses.
I've had three 3.0T. All reliable Utes.

Had one. 2010 STX. Didn't like it much. Poorly finished and turbo laaaaaaaag pissed me off.Quote:

Had a STX and had never ending problems with it.Sold it and go a Hilux,havnt had a problem with it in 3 years now.....touch wood
This seems like the never ending advice. 2011 Hilux might be a better option.....Quote:

2.5s eat oil pumps and timing chains, better options out there
Usually seem pretty gutless as well
Hilux will cost you less in the long term.Quote:
