Thanks for your responses. I had a 2001 V6 Rodeo and it was a great
unit apart from the fact it was a fuel hog. Guess I'll look into a
Hilux this time round. Got and useful info on them? Which years are
better than others etc? Looking for something under 10k, pref under or
around 7 or 8k.
Daryl, I'm from Sydney and am overseas until June but I'm gathering
info for when I get back. Thanks for the offer anyway.
