Toyota Hilux Pick Up-owner feedback


To begin with himself - that I do not and never dzhiper he was not, and did not intend to become, and do not intend to. Well this is just a machine that hit me because that was in good order and in doing so has cost at cheaper greens piece srednerynochnoy prices. So it is not, you will say, well, so is your opinion and I am not going to contest it, it is better to tell about their impressions of the possession by this "bridge" prohodimtsem.
The first thought when the villages of the rudder (when the machine was not even my own) is a real tank. The second message (machine has been my) nafiga me, I have it and where to apply it. First that it would be desirable to clarify the future owners of such machines, where they gathered to exploit it. All places of mud that had previously been considered a purely pedestrian (well, as a last resort proezzhaemye a motorcycle), are now roads, where you can drive. But on the other hand, after half possession machine has finally begun to detect stiff stations and here begins the present trip. No, no rush of mud mesiva, a trip from the fact that you safely where 15 years ago traveled trelevochnik couple of times, and now this place is wild neobzhitaya nature. In taiga make their way to places where no longer felt absolutely no civilization, where platinum beavers can be found at the forest streams and pristine nature. But since this is not about nature, but of the machine, it will return to its description.
Diesel SUV selected for the corresponding turbine-no, no electronics, nothing that can glyuknut, I would even say that the engine is much simpler and more reliable uazovskoy benzinki. Before that has been the experience of communicating with diesel engines, so this is not brought me any fuss, because any defect in it can be addressed in the road on the spot. Yes, and not breaking it to me at a major, well, nothing there break. A time-began podsos air through a hand pump swap zalil sealant yes headquarters, and then just forgot that there Sucks something, need a pump once a year when a new filter… That is probably all that has been a failure with the engine:)
Suspension is something that that, too, is difficult to kill. Springs front and rear, bridges this jeep, mechanical hubs, shpritsuemye most problematic places, etc. Overall suspension not failed not once, although moments happened when dragged out of the pieces of logs and branches. Well not cleaned in the taiga road from logs and branches, so the net clay ride is still a place must be found:) In this regard, bridges and so good that fully protects all drive their strong iron hull, not any rezinkami. Now padzherovody start spitting in me and prove the benefits of an independent suspension, but I pofig - where I traveled to haylyukse padzhery not even tried to tout fear for their suspension. While on the other hand, this suspension plus for the same asphalt turns to the less manageable, comfort and so much more. Hilux So it makes sense to take off unless all seats by side and they do not need to go beyond 100 km. While on the other hand nekomfortnost suspension is expressed at the poor quality of asphalt. Once in the city laid new asphalt everywhere, travel was a very even Satisfactory. The reason for this behavior easy-to ask roughness he podprygivaet and rear wheels raskrutitsya pace, but when they become a machine, then and now, there is a breakthrough, which further strengthens the sense of entitlement nekomfortnye roughness. On the road to this like no case there and shaking so well that such things do not have to think. And last spring, plus suspension, combined with body-carrying capacity. Have a pallet load of bricks and onto his 20 km, it is normally reached. Comrade at the same haylyukse his boots altogether Degelen to prosedaniya otboyniki machines at gunpoint and bash it. Speaking at the same occasion haylyukse Comrade drive 28 people, from the main body of hostels to the beach:).
At the saloon car dostalas simple, the convenience of the only electric mirror. In fact mirrors seen fairly well and be focused in sdavanii reversing very convenient. Step on such a machine is very conducive to the convenience posadki-vysadki rather than design element. Do not have time for this satisfied. A Friend rearwards was not at haylyukse drunken woman and leaving his passenger compartment in 50% of cases fell on the asphalt face:) Sam salon if it zastelit linoleum and carpet is not very easily cleaned. Priborka quite informative and easily readable, even when the sun shines in their eyes. Landing something in between dzhiperskoy and cars. As nastroesh seat and will sit. For rear passengers in the car are more seats, three adults placed at the back without any problems. An essential element of such a machine are handrails for passengers, even if the driver can keep on the road over the handlebars, the passengers hang on the saloon as a robber goods and may unintentionally hurt something.
Now a bit about the characteristics, you can ride, but slowly. I am after 100 km / h already included yaponichesky bellflower, which warned that the speed is inadequate for such a machine. The city is dynamic enough, although I would have preferred a little more, love to travel with frequent applications and disperse, well, yes, this individual case. Town us with the recovery, and the ride in the Mount usually beznadduvny dizelek skisaet, well, he is not drawn to the trafficking of more 2000 and all here. PAZiki else can overtake in the slide, but with different legkovushkami already down. In other places disperse until 5 th transmission and switching so no longer, well, if not at traffic lights. Moving & Relocation go do the same without lowering speed of the suspension nor heat nor cold.
But not as cool and machine arcanes under mud. This is a great road, a short front overhang and a great height rear overhang. Box and razdatka simply tank sizes, in the amount weighs about 90 kilograms, is simply not feasible to break. Perhaps the only weakness - chaining. Just as things turned out, and that I had to change, and the Friend of the disk in operation, but is likely to blame themselves. There is another weakness - tube rear brakes, which lies in the rear-bridge. When sdavanii backwards in the mud where there is logs, it is very easy to break partly tube and left without rear brakes that happened to me in due course.
Hilux albeit long in Russia but still people are turned on the machine and tychut fingers as small children, very well out roll machine. While that we in the city of their travels around 6 pieces (250 thousand inhabitants), the only one in town Tuareg and it is not turned. In an otherwise have nothing more to tell, I recently sold a car and now prismatrivayu banal yaponichesky shirpotrebny sedanchik ride to work. Not sold from the good life and just below srednerynochnoy prices greetings Sergei new owner-not ubivaemoy machines:)
