Went to Isuzu today to get a quote for a new Ute. The quote had to consist of a CVM upgrade, they refused, saying that the up-grade is not legal, as while the new suspension is legal, the vehicle is tested and rated for the vehicles stated CVM.

Prado - new or nearly new?
(Preview)
Hi Forum. In April next year I plan to buy a Prado. I was looking at a model a few years old but a friend said if I can 'extend myself' to buy new to avoid problems with the diesel particulate filter. Does anyone have an opinion? Thanks

However once the unit is in motion, we have the effects of air flow over the van. There would be a high pressure area at the front of the van, and a low pressure area (drag) at the rear, al...

Free Wheeling Hubs.

Do land Cruiser Utes come with free wheeling hubs as standard. Does that mean every time you want 4wd, you have to stop and manually engage the hubs?

Removing middle seats in SUV - Legal?
(Preview)
We've folded up the middle seats in our Pajero and I'm contemplating actually removing one of them, mainly as a weight saving. Anyone have links to road rules that either say it's clearly illegal? or that it's legal?
