How much longer exactly can Hilux maintain its position as the top selling passenger vehicle in Australia? Sales that top the charts today are reflective of orders that were taken 6 to 12 months ago and since then, Toyota has pulled the Rogue and the Rugged X from the range on its website. Can Toyota get its act together to deliver a Land Cruiser engine V6 Hilux anytime soon, or is it actually game over for Hilux on top? OLIGHT DISCOUNT! (These are awesome.)
