I don't know but i can recall the claim of some people that it's engine block has holes.

Tanatej, the FJ40 is though but i don't think this is really an everyday car unlike what those being discussed on this thread, and this is also a sharing of Ford experiences thread (with due respect to the TS).

But we just drove it through flood water! Flood water shouldn't break connecting rods and punch holes in engine blocks... durhhhh....

Built tough? My vote goes to Landcruiser FJ40.

The FJ40 isn't burdened by the presence of a computer box.

after the flood pepeng, our lynx was restored for about 3 months in the garage. ang nagpatagal lang is yung ecu. to think na di natanggal ang battery terminals bago mabaha kasi di inaasahan na aabot pa sa garage ang tubig. matibay talaga ang ford.
