Re: WITCH ONE
Hi Werner and welcome
The capabilities of the two are the same. However for off-road the KZ would be a bit better as it would have more torque. The 2.7 would be a bit better in the dunes / loose sand.
Having said that I would choose the 2.7.......unbreakable ! The KZ if looked after like a baby will be fine but finding a KZ that has been nursed in Sandton's pediatric ward for 7 years, is difficult to find. Risky imho.
Just so a search on the IN and you will soon find!
I would not hesitate buying a 2.7 with 300 - 400 000km's on the clock
Oh yes.....USING CAPS IS LIKE SHOUTING........ :wink2:

Re: WITCH ONE
Welcome Werner! Yes, agree .... would rather get a 2.7 than KZ because of the possible head issues if it's been abused. Good luck!

Agree with the above, but if you were not using it daily I would have said the KZ, but then again as said not easy to find one that was looked after very well. Very lovely motors in my experience just need a good hand and sober driving habits

Re: WITCH ONE
The 2.7 is a good all rounder, not as much comfort and power as the 4.0 V6, but cheaper to maintain and excessories also a bit cheaperWernerJACOBS wrote:Hi Guys

Re: WITCH ONE
How good! Because if we're talking seriously rough terrain, then you ought to be looking for an SFA and not an IFS (yeah, yeah, .... I suppose I'm gonna get some flack for that statement, but a spade was still a spade last time I checked). If not an older SFA, then a newer model with a SAS (solid axle swap, for those that don't know) .... and then we're talking a whole new kettle of wax / ball of fish ( ).
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.

In other words, a good 4x4 driver in a Foton Tunland can do things that a bad driver in a Hilux 2.7/Vigo/KZ cannot do. See it as a tool in the hands of a craftsman, and in those terms, Hilux is the best tool...

Re: WITCH ONE
2.7!! Got one. I 4x4 with it where I drive with the SFA, AND mine is the earlier 1999 SRX, no difflock.
Mine however is for overlanding, packed ready to go. Just to think about it, I saw an Modified 3RZ engine the other day that gives out 900hp... wont say where.

Acording to the dealer it still has standard suspension and is very clean but the milage is a bit high at 168000km, so i will see what it looks like tomorrow seems like everyting on this van is still stock standard.

And almost everyone i have spoken to speaks very highly of the 4.0 V6 4x4 and what you get for the money
Any thing I should look out for when i look at the van tomorrow, please send you comments as quick as possible
because if I see andIlike I buy
so enyone has some kind of list for things i should look out for please,please let me know
O and by the way thanks for all the advise, comments and oppinions so far i realy do appreciate it

Re: WITCH ONE
@ 168k km I don't think that motor has even warmed up.

Re: WITCH ONE
I test driven a silver grey one @ Toyota centurion, exactly same kilos, it's lovely, pretty much standard & it sure looks like me & you have the same truck & want to upgrade to the same truck...WernerJACOBS wrote:Guys,Guys Guys seems like i started something??????

Re: WITCH ONE
I got the 2.7 4x4 2000...very solid truck. HAve done plenty dunes which it is awesome. Rocky mountain passes are also good but keep away from the pedal...control the right foot.
Also looking for a replacement wanting the manual V6 4L Hilux...want the power for overlanding. Good idea?
