Re: Advice needed: 3l D4D or 4l V6
My opinion is slightly different, I own both a V6 Hilux and D4D Fortuner. Both are awesome vehicles and both have their advantages... My honest opinion is that at the current moment, people are so scared of the petrol's that they can be picked up at some very attractive prices... R30000-50000 saved ...

Just a word of advice
Not all diesel is created equal....I'd rather spend more and know what I get than saving a few cents and having equipment issues afterwards....
R 12,94 at the moment is a price that seems highly irregular (I'd be suspicious)

For that first couple of nights a box with opening on one side will do. Give him a blanket also.
Another thing that also calms them is an old shoe or trainer from whoever the dog has bonded with. The smell also helps to make them settle.
