I have had hiluxs for around 25 years. Easy to work on, and get parts for. I started cheap, 5k was my first hilux. I had it for 7 years, until I sunk it in port Philip bay launching my boat on a beach, I got paid out 7k from the insurance company as a total loss - bonus! (Made 2k in 7 years).
I tend not to do hard core stuff anymore, 1- I’m older and wiser, 2, my current sr5 hilux cost $67k fully decked out, bull bar, winch, steel tray, 145 litre long range tank, and many other bits and pieces, reg + insurance. This vehicle now tows my caravan to WA, where I prospect for gold, it’s my business vehicle, tows my boat, use it’s tray to fill up fire wood. It’s all rounder now. I take care of my vehicles nowadays. When I was young I blew up gearboxes, transfer cases, cracked rear axles, cooked engines, replaced head gaskets myself. I fully pulled apart my 3RZ 2.7 litre engine and rebuilt that myself in my home garage. Took that all the way to WA, then north to Broome, Halls creek, down towards Melbourne down the tanami (worst dirt road on earth, vicious corrugations in parts, I think around 1100 or 1300kms, can’t remember), it didn’t miss a beat that old girl on that trip. My advice, buy something cheap, if you are blessed being mechanically minded, and can fix things yourself, go for it, have fun. Not everyone is mechanically minded, so think wisely before you go hard on tracks, cos things brake when they get old (cheap cars), and if you are paying someone to fix it, I can imagine things escalating in costs. But I’d say give it a go, try to fix things yourself, there’s plenty of knowledge on YouTube nowadays to help you along

Basically a video on why you should buy a Toyota or a Nissan

At my work site we have 08-2010 hiluxs and 07-2009 DMAXs. The dmaxs are OVER 1, 000, 000 kms on the clock and the hiluxs are over 800, 000 km on the clock. I highly recommend them trucks, treat them well, service them, fix them when there’s a problem and they’ll go forever

Idea for a new episode: best mods for $5K, $7.5K, $10K etc

[MrDampernator]

The Ol GQ still holds its own 30 odd years down the track and is still the perfect entry level and capable rig.
Love the simplicity and non bias of ya channel lads, there's a few hidden gem here on the south coast when restrictions are lifted

[Alex-rmqc]

ln106 can't go wrong they cost next to nothing in the general car price bracket

[sniklfridz]

im 23 went out and bought a brand new toyota hilux this year. So far so good only problem is now im broke af and cant afford any mods. I bought it just before covid at the start of the year in feb. She still hasnt been taken off road and is completly stock. Im happy with my purchase but possibly going a little cheaper and throwing the extra cash on mods is the better way to go.
If i could pick any car id go the 79 series.

[nemesis]

I know most people would know this. But, if you want a 3L GU. DO NOT get an early series one. GU I, GU II, If you wanna save money. If you don’t mind spending money and sending your car to the mechanic shop or spending 4 weekends on it then go right ahead. There is a reason they’re called grenade engines. Later Direct Injection 3L (GU III, GU IV) didn’t have the grenading problem but you’ll have to replace the diesel pump and injectors at one point. I just replaced the pump and injectors on mine. If you want a Patrol just save up your money and get a TD42 turbo or non. Just stay clear of the early ZD30 3L engines unless you’re gonna engine swap it. This is my current plan and one of many reasons why I got a ZD30. Even though my patrol is a GU IV and the issue was resolved the ZD30 engine is somewhat underpowered and sluggish. It’s not built for power.

Honestly I'd go for tdi300 disco 1 for 0 to 5k.

They're reliable, cheap as chips on fuel and are great off road, they have live axles and are probably one of the most comfortable cheap 4x4 you can buy.

[ValveBouncerYT]

My pick for the 5, 000-15, 000 would be a good old 75 series!

[chubbs]

2nd gen 4runner/surf is one of the best value for money 4wds you can get, preferably a surf cause of the diesels but even the 3.0 v6 is an alright engine as long as you keep up to date on everything and have had the head gasket recall, my vzn130 is still running strong with 335550ks

[temwakefield]

7:00 "so now were jumping into $35, 000 range"
Me: ill see myself out🤣

[wayneshafton]

Nice list of options! If I had the space I'd grab an old petrol GQ for a second 4wd to hit the tracks nearby and do short overnight trips. I just like older cars/trucks and prefer working on them.

[shane]

Don't rush into buying one. Look around. I got my 89 td42 GQ wagon for $2900 12 months ago..
There are plenty of cheap reliable 4wds out there if your willing to take your time and wait until you find the right one

[mickg]

Pajero all the way. My 02 Pajero cost me $3500. Yes it's petrol but much cheaper to maintain and work on than the Diesel version and it pushes through everything Patrols and Cruisers doo.

[idtcertified]

I bought 2008 Range Rover with all the Vogue etc names with every option, it’s a tuned 3.6 d V8, egr, PDF delete (quicker than my mate’s 4.5 Toyota), never towed anything, inside like new and not even a scratch on the paint, an obvious mall crawler or soccer mum car just it makes good noise: bought it to tow a boat but it drives so smooth and quiet, not even a rattle that I drive 98% of the time (also have a mint C6 Corvette convertible I’m not even bothering to register next year) Paid $25k for it with 110, 000 klm, now has 155, 000 klm with no issues: have taken it on some rough old dirt tracks but nothing that needed 4x4 engaged so can’t comment on that, I’ve heard people bag them because sometimes an airbag might stuff up but that’s it: I wanted a V8 Toyota, either troopy or wagon but they were twice the price with more than twice the klm’s, had just basic plastic interior, no autos (I’m an old truckie so not interested in manuals: I can drive a 20 speed quadruplex and 20 speed Spicer which most have never even heard of let alone Road Rangers etc) I like English cars and this thing is like a 4x4 Roller, if it costs me $20k (which it won’t) over the next ten years I’ll still have money left over if I bought a Troopy... maybe not the resale but I doubt there’ll be much in it. Was going to look at a new Jeep before I bought the C6 but the only diesel is a 2.2 Alpha Stelvio and can’t find a long term review: the previous 2.8 was a VM engine, I used them on BPT’s as blower engines and nothing trouble... the new Colorado has them just they changed a few things, in Jeeps they cringed, in the Colorado they rave about them, go figure... I wouldn’t trust one.

[wheresmycheese]

paid $4000 for my gen 2 Pajero 3.5 manual. One family owner with
180, 000kms. Best thing I've ever bought

[NIcKo]

Land Rover Defender or Perentie, 20k+ I would think most of them have hit the end of there max depreciation

[thomjanson]

Got a 2016 D23 Navara for a daily and long trips... got my 93 factory TD42 GQ Patrol for fun and short trips... I will definitely hold onto my GQ forever... although I do love the Navara.. it’s super comfy, super reliable, heaps of power and amazing, best in class I think for fuel economy.. best of both worlds.. misses likes driving the Navara too...

[SuperWesty]

I got a d21 td27t terrano for 450 bucks with a crook engine put another motor in for 500 bucks 950 bucks on the road laughing.
Extent of 4wd'ing I've done is towing firewood offroad but it handles that sweet. Decent option for me since my main passion is street and track cars but I want to give 4wding a go without forking thousands on a safari etc
