The top range 3.0 double cab would go around 900.000 which is pretty cheap by western standard. ALso those models are not available. You can export one. If you do a search you will find some guys who have done it through a reputable agent without coming ove rto LOS I love the VIGO 3.0 which I test drove last week Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maka Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 "he has bought a new 2.8 ltr toyota 4 W/D." What is it? Truck? SUV? What options does it include? Can you be more specific? you say "new" is that new to him or new like off the showroom floor? A NEW, like brand new never used Toyota 4X4 SUV in the US would cost about 1.1 million baht + , depending on options. Like power windows by Armstrong are cheaper that electric ones, for instance. As is A/C from "window/open" cheaper than the fanbelt driven ones. Naturally asperated cheaper than turbo... etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thetyim Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 The 2.8 went out of the Toyota range in Thailand a long time ago. I think you can still get them in Singapore and SA. After the 2.8 came the fatally flawed 5L 3 litre engine and then the 2.5 D4D and then the 3.0 liter D4D and then the Vigo with the D4D mark two engine.

I cannot find it in the link you have provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plus+ Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 You are right, it's only shown in Fortuner specifications. Perhaps because it's the latest addition. Initially Toyota planned it for exports only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thetyim Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 (edited) Hey Plus+, take another look at the price list that Krub has posted. Vigo are listed with the 2.7 engine but only with auto option Edited April 7, 2005 by Thetyim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plus+ Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 The list only shows payment options, not the specs - which are not on the Toyota website either. Perhaps if you download the brochure (pdf) then you can see if there are any differences in interior/exterior, and, of course, engine specs - torque curve, fuel consumption etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Keep in mind that if you buy a gasoline powered pick up in Thailand that there will be no market for it if you want to trade or sell. I KNOW. I had a Toyota with the gasoline engine. My new Nissan is loaded. Three liter diesel, power windows, king cab, power steering, air con, Sony radio, Alloy wheels, bed liner, bumpers and even remote door locks. I paid 540,000 baht for it last November. The fuel consumption is always between 12.5 and 13.5 kilometers per liter. The gasoline Totota got 9 kilometers per liter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
