Toyota HiLux 2006: Can I fit a towbar to the front?
Answered by Graham Smith · 03 Jun 2010

It will almost certainly affect the structure of the front-end of the HiLux, which will in turn affect the crumple rate of the body, and in turn affect the operation of the airbag.

It wouldn’t take a huge hit to knock a light aluminium tray out of alignment, and I’m guessing from the fact that you dented the door that you hit the tray on a corner, which would be the worst point to hit it. Hitting at 10 km/h would also be quite a big impact.

Rodeo vs Hilux fuel economy
Answered by Carsguide.com.au · 20 Jul 2006

The 3.5-litre Rodeo uses more fuel. I recommend the Toyota. Consider a diesel if you are concerned about fuel economy.
