Hilux help

New Hilux owner

Hi all,

I have just bought a 1997 Hilux extra cab 2.8l diesel(before you give me stick, i know how sluggish they are. To make matters worse i have to sell my comfty berlina wagon)

I live on the sunshine coast QLD and am looking forward to doing some off-roading with my wife and little girl.

Cheers,
Gribbo

Theres nothing wrong with the 2.8 hilux ...
it doesn't have the top end - and if you load it up it is sluggish and bogs down a bit
but otherwise it still chugs along well being diesel

well done ... hope you enjoy it !!!

Hi Gribbo, welcome.

I had a '97 Hilux dual cab. 2.8L (non turbo). Was pretty happy with it.

Hi Gribbo, I run a 2.8 TD Triton, you just gotta use a bit more right foot, but then I have a baby turbo to help i suppose, either way get into it and enjoy the greatness that is our bush.
