Oh the joy of car maker's sat navs, the Hilux had one, once programmed a truly excellent machine, huge screen and faultless and easy to read.
However getting to the take me there stage was frustrating in the extreme, the handbook for the thing, same size as the handbook for the rest of the car was about as much use as a choc teapot, too complicated by far.
How have they managed to creat such diabolically hard to use fitted sat navs when as said a hundred nicker accessory shop jobbie is simplicity itself.
I'm glad they've put a bigger engine in, i haven't had the pleasure of trying one, the 2 litre i found very easy to stall and felt underpowered beside the PSA cars.
On the subject of the larger 4x4's, they virtually all come with a £450 VED penalty, that's part of the reason there's so many pick ups about.
A spin off of which is that my Hilux lost only a third of it's purchase price in 3.5 years when i sold it to a dealer for cash.
