I'm a tech for Toyota main dealer and I knew you were going to say about the fuel sender before you even said it! Sometimes they do however get misdiagnosed as a faulty gauge cluster too as you mentioned. The brake pads do also have a habit of sticking on the holding pins causing uneven wear so it's important to clean them at every major service.

[@ernestschutte1978]

Have you ever heard of a car (Toyota Verso 1.8 petrol auto) having acceleration problems "only" when fuel is below half tank? Mystery to all the mechanics I have spoken to. No warning lights. Passes MOT. Idles perfectly. Starts fine. I just keep filling up until I know what to do? Diagnostics shows no codes. Would be pleased if you could resolve this mystery.

Maybe try some more mechanics or take it to a main dealer. Could try running it on premium fuel for a couple of fills as well…

May I tell you all a story, about a Hilux I had in Australia? I had a HiAce work van, which got to a zillion miles and I was given a Hilux ute. (Pick-up) It had 500km on it when I arrived at the office one day. As I got out, I was hit on the shoulder, then noticed large lumps of hail starting to land, so I ran inside. I then watched my 500km Hilux get totally destroyed. Look it up; Perth WA, 2010.

[@person.X.]

Same happened to my uncle's new Jetta the same day. I luckily was down in Freo and just rain there no hail.

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

Oh that's horrible. Why couldn't it have been the old van. I've seen this in action. Years ago I was doing my work permit stuff in Sydney. Sitting there at home, sunny outside. Then I heard this racket starting , like a train running through the garden. Looked out in disbelief at millions of golf balls raining down everywhere. I was just off parramatta Rd, where there were loads of car dealerships. The damage was in the millions.

[@2planks]

[@rich7447]

@@sullivanl3305 The pickup truck was invented by Henry Ford. This is just a mid-size version of a pickup, so truck or pickup is the correct name. Utes were originally based on cars and had a integrated bed (similar to the Honda Ridgeline). Australians and NZers kept calling everything with a bed a ute even though there really aren't many utes anymore.

[@snbala]

“If everybody looked after their cars like this” soo true. Many think cars should look after themselves then moan when something fails. This looks clean for a pick up. Great video.

[@karelesterhuizen7117]

Here in Namibia, that is still the truck/bakkie, I own a 2013 with 80 000 miles on it, great example. In Namibia the new Hilux cost €47 000. Explore this market!

I spent years taking my turn as a passenger in the back of a transit van so these days I'm a big fan of pickups for touring bands. Still think they should only be made in black and grey though. Nice find, well done for spending the extra grand to get it in even better condition.

I have a 91 V6 petrol 4 runner, the Hilux is similar in size, sadly in the USA we cant get the Hilux, because of the Chicken tax, if I lived south of the border in Mexico I would have the choice of the Hilux and the more expensive Tacoma, I'm not a fan of more recent Tacoma's, so full of cheap hard plastics and not what I expect from Toyota, sadly Id take a more recent Nissan Frontier/Navara over a Tacoma at this point., I've owned many Toyota's over the years, so reliable.
