Re: Interesting 150
Thought I heard, don't know if its true or not, NZ have the 150's like this. Don't know why they would take it to NZ and not bring it here as well, doesn't make scence. If anyone knows if this is true or not???

Re: Interesting 150
This is the 'normal' version, as stated previously the 'OZ' model is the odd one because of the extra fuel tank. If you don't need the additional fuel capacity the standard version is probably more attractive if only because the rear window opens allowing access for loading smaller items without opening the rear door, better rear visibility, and the rear camera shows the towbar, .......very useful when connecting a trailer.

Re: Interesting 150
Hi Rob
So can you get either model or only the one with the tyre under the body? Have you talked to anyone who knows why only NZ have these and not OZ?

Re: Interesting 150
Seems the NZ base GX version has a rear door mounted spare, (but no extra fuel tank), and the VX and VX Ltd. (Kakadu) are as I described above. Maybe Toyota 'OZ' would source the NZ versions on request, can't see why they wouldn't but you would probably wait longer.
