People complaining about R850K, it's not just that manufacturers are greedy. The buying power of the rand just sucks. It's the same with electronics e.g. computer components. The new gaming consoles that are launching now are going to be more than R10K, which would've seemed crazy even a few short years ago. Most people's salaries have stagnated or even dropped so I get that it hurts - we're effectively poorer than we were even a year ago. It's just not explained by manufacturer greed.
Wait until they introduce 90 months to pay and will more of this on the road. Unfortunately, in South Africa, people are only interested in installment affordability. And that will work in cars like Hilux because they offer the best resale value.True rand value, and just look at the price of smartphones, u could by a car for the price. We are screwed but we dont learn.
While the rand is indeed shitty, I did check a similarly specced Hilux from the UK Toyota site and it costs £40395 which at current exchange rate works out to roughly R816000 which is still just as ridiculous as the SA full price, cars are just growing hyper expensive all around
I remember my dad paid a similar price for his merc 10 years ago, and now he can't believe thats a bakkies price, he thinks people are mad to pay that kind of cash on a bakkie
Bakkies are upping their game. As mentioned in the review, the Ford Ranger has been putting so much pressure on the Hilux that they had to upgrade its features at whatever cost. Upgraded suspension, cruise control, Bose sound system with Android Auto, Electric roller shutter etc. That's basically a bakkie shaped SUV!!!

Every single comment on here is about price. Everyone just sees “Bakkie” and “R850k”, nothing in between. This is the top of the range Legend model which competes with the Wildtrack. These bakkies have features which bakkies shouldn’t have purse. But us demanding consumers have pushed the manufacturers that way. You can still buy a “normal” Double cab raider for R500k which is equivalent to a bakkie is we knew it 10 years ago.

Its not an easy assessment watching someone driving up and down sand dunes. It certainly does look handsome by comparison with other Toyota models, though. There's so much to choose from these days with very little significant differences between them. I rather prefer watching how the vehicle performs on the different surfaces like loose gravel and rutted roads and mud, which is what I'm most likely to encounter on South African roads. Plus a steep fuel price.

For 850k will I rather buy A Mahindra Karoo and it would do the same job. Toyota has been way overpriced and its not showing intent of ever reviewing it. Toyota has been our favorite since childhood but nowadays its what value you get for the price you pay. Big manufacturers need to keep in mind that things changed, it changed due to economical factors at hand these days. 850K for something that has a 75% chance it will get stolen or highjacked is just not worth the price. One could buy a TOP-SPEC S11 Karoo and even a decent caravan with that and also have one mother of a fully paid vacation not even mentioning the money you would still have over after it all. Good review thou guys. Love them all, keep it up
I like it because the market is changing. South African market is turning to a bukkie market (a lot of people like and have those). For me the price is a bit high but it's worth it for this beautiful beast and I will always prefer Toyota over any Bakkie.

The only thing that sells the Toyota to me is the proven reliability, BUT if reliability was no issue, I would most definitely choose Ford Ranger by far!
Guess Toyota became a religion but South African Farmers luckily have brains. No reason not to switch to the Ranger Raptor due to better price and specs. Durability, yet to be determined! Bakkie manufacturers: too much plastic! if the GWM POER can look that awesome inside, you can try a bit harder especially regarding the plastics. Looking forward to an Ineos Grenadier review, with that 3L BMW diesel enjin as overlander (Engineered by Gwagon team, ground up built, only the tuned enjin from BMW makes sense from an environmental stand-point) Also looking forward to the 300 Landcruiser review. Perhaps we will see a Ford Badlands Bronco 3L with the Sasquatch package in SA someday.
I would prefer the toyota simply for its quality and brand.. good luck with a raptor that would likely broke down in less than 6 month with gearbox issue, and dont forget the new 2.0L engine is not yet proven to be realiable for a long run, all these shitty problems might cost you a fortune while the Toyota will stay problem free for the next decade

Price is heavy but ford ranger has too many gearbox issues..reliability is king and toyota knows that..but where u win at the end of the day is that the Toyota will ALWAYS hold more value and u will get better resale value if u ever need to sell..😉

Not a Hilux, sure some Ford and others depreciate faster than the mighty Hilux
for the same money i'd go for the Ranger Raptor... and again i think new Dmax will be cheaper
Not only is the dmax cheaper it’s a better Ute
Will these still be standing in 2040? Cz the Hilux will be good as new
Dmax is way cheaper around R550k

Just got this truck yesterday. it is much better than the pre-facelift 2019.
Great bakkie but 150k more than the wild track...i will stick to the wild track or simply take the Amarok V6. They messed it up with that pricing!
Every single comment on here is about price. Everyone just sees “Bakkie” and “R850k”, nothing in between. This is the top of the range Legend model which competes with the Wildtrack. These bakkies have features which bakkies shouldn’t have purse. But us demanding consumers have pushed the manufacturers that way. You can still buy a “normal” Double cab raider for R500k which is equivalent to a bakkie is we knew it 10 years ago.

Its not an easy assessment watching someone driving up and down sand dunes. It certainly does look handsome by comparison with other Toyota models, though. There's so much to choose from these days with very little significant differences between them. I rather prefer watching how the vehicle performs on the different surfaces like loose gravel and rutted roads and mud, which is what I'm most likely to encounter on South African roads. Plus a steep fuel price.
I think the upcoming isuzu dmax will be cheaper and it's a completely new car not a face-lift.

The Toyota Hilux is a much better option. Ranger loses value quicker and has maintenance issues. The "RS" part of that Hilux is a bit of an issue for me though since I like my bakkie with a canopy so I can take my dogs on trips.
"RS" is optional.

For 850k will I rather buy A Mahindra Karoo and it would do the same job. Toyota has been way overpriced and its not showing intent of ever reviewing it. Toyota has been our favorite since childhood but nowadays its what value you get for the price you pay. Big manufacturers need to keep in mind that things changed, it changed due to economical factors at hand these days. 850K for something that has a 75% chance it will get stolen or highjacked is just not worth the price. One could buy a TOP-SPEC S11 Karoo and even a decent caravan with that and also have one mother of a fully paid vacation not even mentioning the money you would still have over after it all.
Good review thou guys. Love them all, keep it up
What about the new dmax
I like it because the market is changing. South African market is turning to a bukkie market (a lot of people like and have those).
For me the price is a bit high but it's worth it for this beautiful beast and I will always prefer Toyota over any Bakkie.
They still sell those cars like flies, so yeah perhaps next year the bakkies will hit over R1m.
The Hilux Legend is indeed satisfying with the tech and mechanical upgrades mentioned in the video, although the Hilux Legend compares none to the RANGER RAPTOR with regards to performance, looks etc.

The only thing that sells the Toyota to me is the proven reliability, BUT if reliability was no issue, I would most definitely choose Ford Ranger by far!
Guess Toyota became a religion but South African Farmers luckily have brains. No reason not to switch to the Ranger Raptor due to better price and specs. Durability, yet to be determined! Bakkie manufacturers: too much plastic! if the GWM POER can look that awesome inside, you can try a bit harder especially regarding the plastics. Looking forward to an Ineos Grenadier review, with that 3L BMW diesel enjin as overlander (Engineered by Gwagon team, ground up built, only the tuned enjin from BMW makes sense from an environmental stand-point) Also looking forward to the 300 Landcruiser review. Perhaps we will see a Ford Badlands Bronco 3L with the Sasquatch package in SA someday.
The Raptor is still king in my book... Though this Legend gives it a run for its money.

With how many kilometers traveled should you do the first maintenance of the filter and engine oil of this Toyota Hilux GD6 2.8?
The only reason I don't have the new Hilux, price tag.. 😢😭
What R850 k ?!!! Raptor is 10 time better looking and on all other ways .. whatever new now on Toyota wild truck hade it for almost 2 years now
I would prefer the toyota simply for its quality and brand.. good luck with a raptor that would likely broke down in less than 6 month with gearbox issue, and dont forget the new 2.0L engine is not yet proven to be realiable for a long run, all these shitty problems might cost you a fortune while the Toyota will stay problem free for the next decade
