totally agree with u..c0c0nut...the black hilux is cool...too bad they don't have the petrol version in malaysia. It seems their focus is on fuel economy and cheap road tax in malaysia hence the CRD diesel engine.

To spanker, they can't really bring in those from the US since they are left hand drive and with v6 & v8 engines, ur gonna have fork out lotsa $$$ and may cost up to a cool million for a pickup truck

i booked mine on march and expected to get on may ....any ideas where to get the canopy for a good price?..i surveyed in ipoh and its about rm2800-3500 plus

check this for the new hilux...damn cun...carryboy gsr....

if can get bling bling rims then better...tint the window to ultra black...hahaha...

getting my hilux tomorrow/this friday...just waiting for the darn slow jpj to get the road tax ready...can't wait to take it for a spin

got it today...and did a test drive already...seat is spacious...but the rear is a bit bouncy lar...but still better than my friends ranger and pajero..pickup is ok and engine is very quiet...took it for a round off roading outside kampar and the car is great...more pics and reviews to come

btw...my salesman got another unit black color 2.5 double cab manual...NO NEED TO WAIT..call me at 0133408530 asap because this one first come first serve...

book it 1st april...ooo so u got a hurricane already...nice also...btw...where to get real 4x4 tiress & rims.....wanna change it to something wider....

teluk intan...in ipoh got 2-3 mths waiting list so i booked via teluk intan...they have quite good unit allocations too....

i might check that place out at pandan perdana...gonna add locktech tomorrow too...seems that 4x4s are hot targets...my frens ford ranger was stolen in jusco carpark around 10 mins only...so gonna add extra security

heya...congrats on getting ya new hilux...mine clocked 700km already during the past 3 days...travelling within kl and kampar...u might find the new hilux kinda long...no problems with mine yet and managed to clock a top speed of 150kpmh on a straight and level stretch

ljs : here..check this website http://www.locktech.com.my/ ..adds extra security to ur investment...

coconut : not sure bout that but heard that diesel engines cannot run on reserve..coz once engines dies of becoz not enuff fuel then have to go major overhaul to vacuum the combustion chamber or something....manage to achieve rm10 diesel per 100km!!!

btw..gonna get some pics up later...kinda bz this few days so sorry bout the delay

yeah...about rm400++ including installation...got it at one stop accessories in ipoh...it don't block the way lar..just fit nicely there...btw...nice number plate though..the green certificate should be processed around 2-3 days depends on ur runner...i got all my things sorted out in about 4 days becoz the stupid pengarah was away playing golf or something...maybe i didn't give coffeebean to them

btw, a friend of mine told me that u should not park the 4x4s in a way that it allows the car to be towed... he got his ford ranger towed away in front of the house at night...

hehehe...range rover...maybe the next ten years only can afford...then also second hand one because my disposable income must be at least 100k a year by then...

well...good luck to you...mine just reached 1100km today..so next monday have to service...heard that their service kinda sucks...ljs, actually thats the "REAL" period you have to wait to get ur hilux...the car might have reached the showrooms but if the jpj pengarah doesn't sign the stupid cert, then u can't get ur roadtax and the car..it too my runner 4 working days to get it done so I truly understand how u feel...

However their janji is better than janji "proton" which i will never buy another car from them again becoz of BAD BAD experience with Proton Edar...I truly recommend anyone to stay away from their newer models

hehehe...where u saw it...if ipoh it might be me lar...well...the top speed is limited to 150kph but if downhill can hit 160 too...this car is not meant to be drag race though but its good enough to outrun some lansi wiras

kinda difficult lar to upgrade it since its using a diesel engine...very hard to get after market ecu's and air filters...u could mod the exhaust and add an intercooler...which i think possible since there is a little bit of space in front...

LJS, do tell me where u do ur HID conversion and how much it costs...interested in it but ipoh costs quite a lot even for the no high beam version...

wow...hardcore man...urs is one ganas hilux...respek...respek....hehehe...i wanna add bling-bling rims when got cash...too bad here got no spinners...

oh dear...that day my salesman got a spare unit...dono sold out already or not...if u want lemme give him a call...

btw...sad news for me today...my hilux kena scratch by stupid van who simply force the way through narrow street..lucky kena sikit...hmmmm...sakit hati also

heres a true story...one toyota corolla se hit the back of my fathers friend old model hilux and all the hilux had was a dent at the side while the car has been damaged to the point of being written off completely while the driver kena masuk icu...i was there at the accident site and simply can't believe what happened...

my fathers friend, which was the hilux driver was trying to cross a t-junction when the other car, which was coming from the side hit the hilux rear side...

btw...insist for genuine arb bull bars and bumpers....damn solid and it will help reinforce ur hilux...
