Everywhere else, buyers have the rights and that's the way it should be. In Trinidad and Tobago the sellers have all rights to do what they want, and we will still pay for overpriced goods and poor service. It's a situation we created for ourselves.

high demand plus TTTL still sells the hilux cheaper than in Australia, the 2012 4x4 turbo diesel hilux in australia is $53,490 AUD which works out to be about:-
53,490.00 AUD=54,503.39 USD *6.43 = 350,456 TT

which is expensive compared to TTTL although we dont get all the features.

The Navara still cheaper.... than both Ranger & Hilux.
More powerful than both, and bigger inside too.


Ok I'm done trolling for now, off I go....

I have driven the BT50 4X4, Hurricane, 2.5 turbo( non intercooled) Hilux and the 3.0 Vigo and i prefer the performance of the WLT's. The Toyotas have a kick but it seems to me the power delivery flattens out quickly. Just my experience

Aaron congrats on ur truck. Them machine hot for years. Bess!

So I spied inside a local used and we not getting the top of the line deck as advertised in all other countries.

I would prefer a hilux with the interior like yours minus the body kit, bumper kit, tray cover etc. too bad Rampersad/maska/achievor brings only fully loaded stuff for sale .
