Give it another chance mate... maybe it's just a simple fix or some sensor replacement somewhere. Was any modifications done to the car recently, or fuel additives, ? Sometimes that could shed some clues. Maybe try another dealership for second opinion.

But a twin turbo V8 diesel 200 series would be gr8...lolCheers Dave

Comfortable? Having had both, I much prefer the better handling and superior capabilities of the tuna but some folks do like the sloppy bouncing soft ride of the cruiser.
I find the cruiser handling is worse than a Pajero Sport and that is being kind. Sure the cruiser can tow 3.5 ton but over 90kph the cruiser and a big van is just plain dangerous.

I have noticed the tuna wanders a bit as well. Has become more pronounced since i put dueler ATs. Plus there is a nagging pull to the left. It could be the tyres bite a bit more on the bitumen. But the tuna definitely requires more concentration to drive. KTAS has rotated the tyres a couple of times. Toyota dealer has done the same as well as wheel alignment.
