It's a shame he didn't test one of the diesels as I've not read a review of one of them yet and it's the engine most would likely buy.

When you can still get a brand new base model Hilux for 20k you’d have to be utterly mad to buy one of these. |

A Hilux must cost about a fiver to build, all the pickups are seriously crude underneath - and the higher-spec ones are the same money as a Defender Hard Top. You’d have to be mad to spend £45k on one when you could have a Defender which is on another level of ability. |

But what everyone seems to be overlooking is its damn near a 405 underneath, so is just as comfortable as a FF with bags more variations...

I think I must be getting old, everything seems so expensive these days! I owned a Snatch 110 for a while which has a dubious history as in both Afghan and Iraq 1, it was useless against IED's. Heck of a thing though, sold it to a paintball place up near Glasgow. Just realised, it's not on my signature, must add it! 1992 RR Classic 3.9 efi Vogue 2014 Disco 4 HSE =================== Both my fatties now gone...
