Hilux was in 3rd and slowing..Hilux was mechanically hard to beat , but low power doesnt hurt parts much either, hence reliable. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89372-the-best-day-of-owning-my-ute-was/page/2/#findComment-1505576 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verve Donating Members 126 Member For: 16y 23d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 12/10/14 09:21 AM Author Share Posted 12/10/14 09:21 AM they have plenty of happy customers but as usual the squeaky wheel makes the most noise so we hear more about cars with issuesWell said. That was my experience. I hope that others don't have the same issues as I did. O wait. Let's say for 12 months and the discussion is irrelevant, just like locally built fords.The customers have spoken, they just don't buy them anymore.Sad really, as I did support the local industry.
