I actually looked at them myself and drove one, they are no Ford Ranger or Hilux.
No serious tradesman or off-road driver would buy one of these ****boxes.

Lol, let me spell it out for you sweetheart, i'll go slow for you.
My Wife and i had a brief look at them 3 weeks ago while we were away for the weekend, we can do that here in SA, lol.
The dealership was closing so we didn't have time to test drive it but sat in it to see how it felt and had a quick look around it, i mentioned this in another thread.
I did a bit of research and as luck would have it, the dealer is actually a customer of the company i now work for and last week i had to go there on work related business so i asked for a brochure.
Yesterday i was in the area on my lunch break so i had a bit more time, i had a better look around and quizzed the salesman on some of the things id discovered, what he said was pretty much what independent reviewers had said, there was no BS.
Its 42k driveaway, it is what it is, the company is keen to build its reputation, they dont 'all do that', lol.
I was offered a test drive which i declined due to time and wanting my Wife with me as it'll be a joint purchase so we are going back Saturday afternoon as they said we can take the demo X model for a good run to see if it will do what we want.
Today i wandered into a toyota yard as they had another extracab and i was keen to compare the price against the one i mentioned a few posts ago, whilst discussing my budget with him he asked if id considered the GW ute, i said yes but wasnt sure about reliability and the brand, he said the inside word is they are extremely keen to provide customer satisfaction, this from a guy who doesnt even sell them.
Im not a tradesman or serious offroader, i just want to tow my 1700kg van with it which it will do, apart from that it'll be doing what 90% of every other dualcab does, putts around suburbia.
Will we buy one, i don't know, its still early in our search so that remains to be seen but its certainly hilarious to see how triggered you are to want to post in a thread about a vehicle you don't rate.
For the record, i don't care what you think.
Enjoy!
