    As my dad used to say, "Road bikes are good, you can have alot of fun on them. You might have the ability to make it go real quick and ride real safely, but dont forget the other idiots on the road can NOT drive safely nor quickly"

    Keep that in mind! and Be safe on them!

    It had standard suspension.

    Its not what I'm looking for, and for 50 odd grand It didnt really grab me...It's alot of money for something that is just okay. I expect something that is not bouncy in the rear end and is fairly comfortable to sit in. And really when you look at it, they have not really gone forward since the T3 Dual Cab. That had much more room in the tray, more room inside the cab, More storage space, less bouncy in the rear end, more comfortable (Except no air con). Sure its not as capable off road, as the Amarok, but still. The Hilux SRS is not as bouncy and as hard on the back as this thing is.....

    Hilux SR5 can't carry as much in the tray as the Amarok on standard suspension, but there is a 'Comfort' option...


    Having driven plenty of hilux/navara/triton/dmax/colorados, they all drive about the same, and the Amarok I have driven at work felt nicer to drive, it had the styleside tray removed and a dropside tray with toolboxes.

    How much is a T5 DoKa 4motion?

    Sorry, Dual Cab.

    DoKa is something german, I used to sell MAN's, and the Dual Cabs were called DoKa's, and I have seen it referred to in this forum.
