As a mate points out, no one wants VD... and it holds true here for Land Cruiser ute prices - I've seen good, late HDJ79s going for 5-10k more than a newer VDJ79....

It would have been quite easy for them to have done so, as the ZR2 Colorado is related to the Aussie and NZ Market Colorado.... which does have a wagon spin off (Colorado 7/Trailblazer) (clicky here: https://www.holden.com.au/cars/trailblazer#Gallery) BUT GM have decided to kill Holden off...

Only ones that come out of Japan are the Land Cruiser and Patrol, everything else is from Thailand (Toyota Hilux & Fortuner, Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara, Isuzu DMax) or China (Great Wall, SAIC)

Bit of both - a RHD converted one (remember they've not been factory RHD since the 1980s) is north of AU$100,000 new, so they tend not to get used for that sort of work around here unless you can: a) write it off on the tax books b) be paid to flog the guts out of it by a sponsor The other...

Effy's aren't that uncommon - I've got a mate with an early 2000s F250 Double cab that they use for horse float dragging... but use a VDJ Land Cruiser as their daily ute. We've got a few new Rams around town, but they are for a bit of show, get down into horse country and they're a bit more...

Interesting noises being made about the production location: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/confirmed-ineos-talks-daimler-build-grenadier-smart-factory As the comments allude to, Ratcliffe is pro-Brexit.... but might just have realised that it's not a good deal for manufacturing...

Get some Allen head grub screws and use those? Not sure what the French term would be, beyond "cle Allen"...

It wasn't so much a direct vehicle comparison, more the price point of something fairly standard, a bit like the Big Mac Index*- for example, a VW Golf in the UK isn't that different in price to the Hilux. Given that the expected UK price point is £40,000, that puts it comparable to a Volvo XC60...

What globally available car is around the US$40k mark? That can be useful to see how it'll compare globally. I had a look at the UK prices and it was going to start at nearly 2x a basic Hilux double cab (a Defender 90 commercial is estimated to be 1.5x a Hilux), which fits with their Australian...

Definition of Jeep in Australia: Just Expect Every Problem Just Empty Every Pocket Hence their advertising campaign, a lot around how they're listening to customers but also how they're reducing their parts prices.

Just had a re-read of the Autocar article, and having been out of touch with UK prices, thought I'd do a cross shop: Ineos estimated starting price = £40,000 Toyota Hilux Double cab = £21,000+20% VAT (so £25,200)...

I suspect it'll be along the lines of: "Did you see that Townie F'wit in their Land Rover Defender who thinks they're all country now?" "No, but did you see the one in that Ineos thing who thought they were more country than the Defender driver?" "Which do you reckon is better, the Isuzu DMax...

Jaguar is screwed - they lost their big car market to the RR and others of that class some time ago. However, they also have a dying market (literally) as how many 40 year olds do you know want to buy one? I can think of 70 year olds, and some in their 60s, but younger? Not that many.... Land...

That T@B will be better built than nearly everything else on the market if it's anything like the UK market. My parent's Knaus (part of the Knaus-Tabbert group who also make the T@B) caravan (travel trailer) has a 10 year water ingress warranty (https://www.knaus.com/en-uk/caravans/), and...

My receiver hitch has a couple of shims from a drinks can shoved in it... just enough to stop it moving.

The Nissan NV400 from Europe is a rebadged Renault as part of the Nissan-Renault Alliance; IIRC the element of Renault in that is limited to 4500kg GVM. Above that is Renault Truck territory, who are owned by Volvo Truck... Interestingly, Renault do a 4x4 version of the Master (much like the...

This is the (used) price an ISI Carrier system goes for in Australia: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/the-junction/bicycle-parts-and-accessories/isi-extreme-duty-bike-carrier/1249653445 That would be almost the ideal solution for you; it's got the ability to bolt to the drawer bar (like in the...
