I own a 2.5 manual Lux. No major problem so far unlike my bro and sis Civic and City.

I just booked my Hilux 3.0 facelift last 2 weeks, it will arrive Jan 2012. So many months of sleepless night to go.

thats a hell of a waiting time.

Can help me understand why Hilux sells so well in Malaysia ?

Jan-Aug2011 units sold

Hilux 15049
Triton 5699
D-Max 3899
Navara 2831
Ranger 1511

Also, anyone has the breakdown of the figures above by state ? e.g. how many sold in Sabah, Sarawak.

1) Its a Toyota
2) Almost all MNC & GLC which needs a pick up truck as company car are Hilux (eg: Securicor)

My hilux is 2008 one. 70km mileage done. Heavy duty. No major problem so far. Perfect car for sarawakian (business purpose)

well, this actually show why the Lux is still the best 4wd in Malaysia.

Bcoz thief like to steal hilux lor... people buy, kena steal, claim insurance, then get a new one...

My in law Hilux got stolen last week when park at home.

hi guys,talking about Toyota Hilux.Do you know any good shop to get the timing belt and water pump changed?

do your salesman said anything about the thailand flood?my salesman said they are affected liao... i might have to wait 2-3month.

I just call my salesman, he say so far no official announcement that there will be any delay.

I am thinking buying a single cabin hilux 2.5 for my plantation site job , but the engine power is low compare with other brand. . so my question is, can i put an intercooler to boost up the cooling and power. Or any other option i can take to pull more hp and tq from this hilux.

Tuning chip is your solution if u want to maintain factory warranty and also increase 10~20% power.

If you're going hardcore power then only consider upgrading hardware.

with intercooler and unichip it can probably get to 140-160hp and large amount of torque increase.

Easily.

I already place booking for my second hilux, will plan to add an intercooler but without much cutting. Just in search for top mount recon intercooler from prado 3.0 at recon yard and cut the hood to fit the stuff...one thing is bordering me is the waiting time till march next year...huh..

Why top mount?? Most of the member i know prefer to make it the bumper style.

Easier and less mess, not to mention more air flow.

front for winch maa..
