Good evening everyone. I'm new to 4x4 after buying a Hilux 2.5D SRX due to an investment in Mozambique. Hope to learn and share on the forum.

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

It is a good idea to do a 4x4 course as it will give you a good idea of what your vehicle is capable of.

Re: Newbie, to 4x4
Howzit and welcome to the forum Lincoln.I also drive a 2,5 srx 4x4 which I have converted into a dedicated camper.
My standing mass, including 140 l of diesel in the tanks and 70 l water and many extras, is about 2600 kg.( without the beer, meat,swambo or myself aboard).
The srx is a bit under powered compared to the 3,0 l but it is still very capable and I am very happy with its overall performance.
I am certain you will also enjoy your srx.Good luck.
