Was just wondering, if the Hilux (both 2.5 and 3.0) is underpowered would a Unichipping or tuning the engine using AEM parts increase it to be on par with the rest of the 4X4?

This is assuming the warranty period is already over or the person removes the AEM tuning kit during servicing.

2.5 is underpowered, 3.0 is not.

Unichip can make 2.5 and 3.0 fast.

But a normal chipped truck can smoke the 2.5 very easily. Unless you are willing to spent a lum sum on upgrading the Hilux lah... Quite alot of stuff not compatible with Hilux. Plus they are little sensitive to play with the sensors.

Get the 3.0 if roadtax is not a issue for you.

Hilux has the looks and good for people who want tall ride with macho looking. (IMO)

Actually the 'tallness' of the car is dependent on the location of the drive tongue.gif
I'm looking for a tall car due to the proness of flood in the roads that I drive. Plus I frequently take the vehicle ferry. The height of the ramp is dependent on the sea tide. So if I get a normal car, there is chance that during high tide the car might scrap the ramp rclxub.gif

So generally speaking the new Hilux 3.0 is better powered than its 2.5 predecessors? What about the consumption? I heard that the 3.0 is quite a heavy diesel drinker? tongue.gif
