Lexx, we've seen this video before and went into lenghty discussions about it. I can't remember what thread we discussed it in .... you could do a search for it.

However, the basic outcome was that based on driver the vehicle could do what you wanted it to. After some more searching you'll find the hilux passed the test at a later date.

and yeah i did close to 170 in my frontier and over 170 in a prado on that bend already... skill is keep to the left lane and then drift onto the right lane when crossing the bridge by the union road over pass.

^^
true true...

i go around the said corner at around 190km...

that is with stock rims. if i had on the 22's i would go @ about 140km to be safe

Mr. Cheese

I readin what u write, any i get a bit confused. I mean i have on stock rim and tires too and i pass that corner doing some high numbers many times.

But i always thought when u put on bigger rims with low profile tires, the rims and tires are much wider and don't bend on corners. So why would you pass that corner at 140 with a set of 22 with a 305 tire, when u does pass at 190 with ur normal 265/16/70.

Fellas correct me if i'm wrong.

Keep going round the corner at 190km in a pickup.. I am sure one day you will fall off...

relative height my boy. the van will be higher off the ground therefore more air pressure under the van undermining the extra grip of the wider tyres. in short, you will take off like a plane :lol:

Wider tyres / low profiles also "track"...

So yes you REAL wrong there lexx... wrong like an O.. wrong like a 305 tyre!

Postby **Team Loco** » October 4th, 2008, 1:38 am

well i jus got my hilux...and it real sweet....never had the fair of flippin, just u need to know how to handle it, ie the lower one, it sits perfectly on the road

No one mention tyres which plays a critical role.

With the OEM Duelers (255/70 15s), I could drift in the SR5. Upgraded those to Michelin LTX (31x10.5) and haven't look back since. They're bigger/widder than the Duelers and sits much better.

Gasparillo flyover I can do 120 km/h comfortably. I rarely drive over that speed (when I'm in the lux).

I see you guys posting other links about the new Mazda bt-50 and etc. These models do not generally make it to market in Trinidad as we are classified as General Exposrt market.

I cannot say if this would be true for Toyota models.

Where sweeky? He usually knows these things

Well TTTL did screw their customers with the new lux....

They 09 lux are a continuation of the IMV... facelift, bigger rims, mostly cosmetic.

The 09 BT-50 is here... again just a facelift & mostly cosmetic.

Hopefully any bugs would have been ironed out.

BTW never believe a saleman when he tells you the new model will be here in a year ... B.S. They're trying to make a sale now not next year. They probably don't even know the difference in specs either.

OK i did 155 weekend.

Postby **Tsuchiya** » November 24th, 2008, 12:14 pm

honestly...the older one felt much more stable...MUCH more!!
i don;t like the light, "flighty" feeling of the new hilux. It doesn't inspire me to hammer thru a corner...maybe that's a good thing
