This is the flagship Takami, so you get the tough 3.0 turbo-diesel and proper 4WD with the extra gear that makes it nice to live with: heated leather, a roller lid you can lock, and a cabin that feels a step up from a standard work ute.

Its done about 20,000 km, so theres plenty of life left in it, and it will tow up to 3.5 tonnes when you need it to. Weve just fitted a set of brand new Lenso wheels and tyres, which sharpen up the look and give it a bit more presence than the factory 18s.

It was imported from Australia as a statutory write-off, then repaired, certified and complied for New Zealand. Were upfront about that: the Consumer Information Notice will show imported as damaged: Yes, and youre welcome to view the certification paperwork. Happy to help with finance and a trade if that suits.
