New Hilux Owner - Some questions

Quite pleased about it. :D: I do have some questions for the more experienced Hilux owners though. 1) The owners manual makes reference of 3 keys, 2 master keys and a secondary key without the buttons on it.

Hello all.

Thanks for the feedback. I found a Silver 2009 V6 auto that should be delivered to me about the Middle of October. Apparently, the hold up is with the canopy and getting it colour matched. Bucco must be very busy.

Oh well, worth the wait I supppose.

Thanks again for the feedback

Re: Advice on the purchase of a 4.0 V6 auto?

Hi All.

Thanks for the feedback. The last few days have been busy, trying to find a good 4.0 v6. Productivity at work is not good.

So far I have 2 on my short list, both 2009 vehicles, and both silver. So much for me getting a white hilux. :roll:

Thanks again again all.
