Ok, Every time a manufacture releases a new vehicle it only takes a few months, and its got more faults than Ned Kelly,! according to all us criticising Dudes that are so knowledgable on whats needed to keep us all quiet and happy with our 4bys! ,Lets design something!!!!,
I''ll kick it off, I would think Isuzu Engine, Landrover defender 130 Chassis,...............And that Amarok Cab and interior ?
And NO! Toyo and all the rest don't make one!.
Cheers Axle.

For ultimate reliabity, the
old truck type diesels where hard to beat, ignoring any other criteria except reliabity, I reckon a NA GQ 4.2 diesel would be hard to go past, heaps around now with 500000ks and very little work down to them, shame the bodies where not as good.I also had a 2.8 diesel rocky that in 200000, only repair was upgraded shocks.
Mine you I would hate to go back to it now.
Cheers Pete

manual release rear sway bar ( When "I" want it on or off) , diff locks frt & bk, no leather,(Recaro seats?),live axle coil sprung, no IFS, less plastic trim=less plastic push in clips, less electric/computer gimmicks (its a 4WD not a LIMO so learn how to DRIVE one ) auto lock hubs are ok, realistic tyre/rim sizing,
I'll think of some more in a while, why a 130 chassis?

A 130 chassis is a fully boxed welded unit that's been in units for a long time,...And not many have failed in 50yrs.
