Toyota Land Cruiser Colorado

[Thomas-the-Terrano2]

Any one experience of these trucks, look to be bigger than Terrano2 and maybe
not quite as big as a Patrol, (with Amazon coming in slightly bigger still) ?

Seen some listed as 8 seaters, so guessing 3rd row is a 3 seater.

Whats the axle configuation, live/independent.
Seem to be a 3.0 and most are autos, full or part time transmission?
Rated kerb / gross weight, and trailer gross weight???

Pluses and minuses ?

8 seats not just the amazon. Think they have a live axel. Dif locks and what not very thirsty though

they are IFS, Also no front or back locker. Maybe some have rear lsd or locker??

Got a friend who lanes with his, seems to work very well and reliable but parts are expensive.

I had a 70s series landcruiser , it was good , until a council dustbin lorry reversed into it ........ didn't work well after that

not saying would leave Nissan but always admired Toyotas snce Hilux.

Amazons seem to hold their prices though would have to go to late 1990s
to afford one, the thought of a 4.2td oh yeah, even 4.5 with lpg.

Suprised the colorado 3.0 td , pre D4D only makes 123bhp and latter about 158.

Might just enf up with another Trol, have to be a 6 pot though...

Seems to be a trend of this at the minute

Someone on here has a Maverick that was reversed into by a truck :doh
