Prices up between $200 out to $1200 on V6 models. Keep squeezing Ford, more money to be had.

I saw a white Tundra in St Ives today - looked new or newish. Black letters on tailgate, thin sequential LED blinker strip above number plate recess.

Didn’t realise there were any here.

They're around just converted and complied by other cowboys rather than the official partnership between Toyota and HSV.

The same as you can get RAMs from places like SCD American Vehicles

Been camping at Uluru and Kings Canyon over the last week. Wandering around the camp grounds, which are full, there aren't many hiluxes being used for towing. Rangers probably go close to outnumbering landcruiser. Obviously a tiny snapshot but not sure the price is bothering too many at the moment.

Ranger was already one of the best tow vehicles. Now with more power and torque it's easy to see why its so popular in this arena.

From my observation of doing a lot of towing around Australia in the last 12 years, hilux's have always been in the minority group with vans, the rangers popularity increases each year and will continue to do so with their reputation.
