I have been researching the new Hilux, specifically the 2.8 Invincible X, as a potential next purchase.

I've had a Hilux before and really appreciate the overall sense of reliability and robustness, and the new engine appeals compared to the previous 2.4.

I have come across an issue from owners on the Toyota forum - apparently there have been several incidents of windscreens cracking, even when vehicles are parked up on flat ground.

This suggests the windscreen is under a lot of pressure, or that there's some movement between the frame and the glass which eventually leads to the cracking.

Has anyone on here come across this?
