Had a look ,New Cruiser

Hmmmmm.............. Looks too much like a Landrover

I concur with you on the debt thingy. I even got rid of my credit cards 5 years ago.

I will be driving this multi dented Patrol for a while yet...lol

Cheers

Actually I think the design was from an early 90s Prado............Not available here in Australia.

Ill stick with my brunswick GU Patrol...............nice strong mechanicals with a simple easily fixed V8 Diesel.....................and it tows my 2.5 tonne van like a train...........Wonderful.........

And it was 20 grand less..........Bugger..............

Go on - buy one.
Debts great. Have today - pay tomorrow.

If you fall off your perch, the kids can repay the remaining debt out of the estate. Ie super, life ins, property, shares etc etc list goes on and on. (After selling the vehicle)

Beats being the richest man in the cemetary.

You only get one life - Enjoy!!!!

Hi all, well finally for the first time I’ve brought myself a new 4b, boy it was a hard discission, lots of test drives, looking at specs sheets and lots of research. It came down to basically 3 4x4’s, Prado, Patrol and the V8 70 wagon and trust me it was so hard trying to work out which one to buy. The 3ltr auto Patrol was a very nice car to drive, solid as and good value but I wanted more power and I didn’t want to add too much after market accessories or power aids. The TD Prado was a beautiful car to drive man it was very comfy and the power not bad but the IFS at the front I wasn’t to keen on and it desperately needed a suspension lift, some traction aids and better tyres. So it came down to the V8 70 wagon and yes it has a few down falls but what do you do for an example you can’t by a new TD 80 series anymore or a new patrol with more cylinders and power. Yes the new V8 70 has a low slung alternator, 90 ltr tank, rear leafs and it’s a little basic (which I don’t mind) but it drove really well, smooth and effortlessly. The factory lockers are a great option (and on order) and if the diffs fail it’s straight back to Mr Toyota, because I didn’t modify anything and the car is designed with lockers well what come back do they have?
Hopefully it’s due in a couple of months and I will keep you all posted on how it goes on and off road.

All the best,

Classic everyone calling it th "NEW CRUISER".. as stated that shape has been out for years overseas...

I think to date I have only seen ONE on the road.. I thought they would have been everywhere by now...

son inlaw works for a toyota dealership in WA. He sold one to a reletive who has to wait a month for delivery but now its three months for subsequent sales. He says it would be better to wait six months because the tight supply is keeping the price up.

Not surprised it looks like a Land Rover(if it does). That's what they normally do, don't they? Wait to see which way Land Rover jump and "hey, here we go guys - the template's out" they've done our design for us again.
