Thread: Reliability of late model SUVs/Utes

I have had my manual 94 HiLux 3 litre turbo diesel for 13 years now and wouldn't consider a new vehicle as a replacement. It goes eveywhere I point it (subject to me getting out and checking dodgy bits before plunging in), passes cars with ease, and is capable of cruising at well over the speed limit. I put on a new cylinder head when I got it, replaced the 'million piece' clutch with a standard one after 5 years, and service it myself regularly. The new vehicles look and drive nice but I simply have no faith in electronics when you are out in the boonies!
