That's reminds me.
Took it up to a pay and play site on Saturday 🫣
was it wet!!!!
Did all but the big mud pits and a stupidly steep hill that even the twin locked stuff struggled on ..I've only got rear locker...
All in all in coped very well for a stock truck albeit with ko2s. High centred it once and required a gentle tug from a 90
Usual ground clearance issues but after big powerwash session and removing shovel fulls of clay it's surprisingly intact underneath. They've done a decent job of guarding everything ...I've just given them some battle scars
Towed 2t box back down motorway tonight...so nice for towing and bags of power ... scarily smooth and you need to keep an eye on the speed creeps up fast unless cruise is on.
Had its first software up date which cured an adblu sensor warning bug.
So far so good.

That does look ok. Hilux was my 2nd option and after watching two virtually stock ones at the pay and play site they are definitely the best off the shelf truck off road.Toyota Reveals Dakar-Inspired Hilux GR Sport II Sports Pickup • Professional Pickup

I would say there will very much be a target audience for it. Go to Cobham high street and watch the parade of utterly ridiculous motors driving around and that would be very much at home amongst the bright yellow g wagons and lime green Lamborghini ursus'
