I remember watching the movie District 9 and thinking to myself how awesome the Hilux's looked in it. Only recently did I remember to have a look on the web for a pic of one. This is the best I can do, but what do you think?

I think it would become my daily driver if I chanced upon a nice big lottery win!

I'm a sucker for kitted out trucks, let me see some more!

That's not a truck, that's a ute, mate.

This is a truck:

A ute...? Must be a matter of dialect

To me that's a lorry! The Hilux is a pick-up truck, or just truck!

Hehe - I'm going NZ native

There are lots of Hiluxes around here. And some of these, which I think are ace: 6.2 litre V8, over 400bhp.

Also you see a fair few of these:

Um, does this count as a truck?

Um, does this count as a truck?

No, it's a pimpmobile!

Oh and:-

I like trucking, I like trucking,

I like trucking and I like to truck.

I like trucking, I like trucking,

If you don't like trucking, tough luck.

On the road, you must be brave and tireless,

On the road, you can listen to the wireless,

On the road, you eat café food with pride,

You can throw it up outside.

The greatest kick in trucking comes from knocking down a biker,

Or swinging round a roundabout and picking up a hiker,

You're chatting up that piece of skirt who's sitting by your side,

Then pop the crucial question - a ride for a ride?

I like trucking, I like trucking,

I like trucking and I like to truck.

I like trucking, I like trucking,

If you don't like trucking, tough luck.

Perhaps the greatest laugh of all, that makes this life worthwhile,

Is waving on the car behind, giving him a smile,

With glasses and with gratitude, he revs his little load,

And meets another trucking truck, a-trucking down the road.

On the road, you must be tough and ruthless,

And the rumours that we're gay are truthless,

On the road, you can wear your shirtsleeves rolled,

You eat chocolate when it's cold.

From behind, we like to sneak up on you from behind,

Never mind, if you hit 'em never mind.

We like trucking, we like trucking,

We like trucking and we like to truck.

We like trucking, we like trucking,

If you don't like trucking, tough luck.

Holden HSV Maloo? and surely thats a Ute not a truck :p

That holden looks verrrrry nice. Wonder if Vauxhall could find a market for that over here?! I doubt it cosidering how few VXR8s you see around let alone a pick-up version!

That's from Not the Nine O'clock News

How about this?

How about this?

Mercedes Benz Unimog??

Isn't that basically a tractor?

How's this?

Apologies for the blurred phone pic - it was quite dark.

I always liked this one from the Top Gear expedition

They are more to my liking! I like the idea of being prepared for anything the great british country/weather can throw at me... maybe I should join the scouts!

Edit: also, anyone who has done it will i'm sure agree, winching stuff is just the coolest, most manly activity imaginable.
