Bought a Hilux recently. It has most of the modern bells and whistles. Keyless entry, push button start, 9 inch infotainment screen, wireless android and carplay. New to hilux; disc brakes on the rear, wider track front and back to improve high speed twisted handling and rockcrawling. What cant be seen that is a constant, is superb construction, a thicker grade steel used throughout, d u r a b i l i t y!! Another constant: a simple yet reliable and best in class 4x4 system. You think the hilux is old, I cant understand there is a still a viable market for older, with old technology, toyota series like the 70!! Some people value reliability and simplicity over everything else. They may be boring, but live very peaceful lives!!
Why does Toyota sell? Durability, reliability, resale value, Superior engineering, Support network, high quality, high-value car. At least you know you'll get home no matter where you go.
I think a major issue that is holding back the release is that fact that the current Hilux is still selling in record numbers. Just look at data rom Feb 2024 sales increased 11.8% from Feb 2023.
My problem with waiting for the new generation is that they will ALL be hybrids. Definitely a deal breaker. Maybe I can get a deal on the 2024 when the 2025's arrives. I find that every upgrade these days just adds more annoying warning bells. Buying something that is tried and true is NOT a bad thing. Early adopters in the car market usually pay for the "experiments gone wrong syndrome".
Just placed an order for a 24 SR hilux, few reasons, they still offer manual, it’s had 10 years to prove itself, and they’ll be more reliable in the long run. Yes the new rangers look good and have great infotainment systems but it’s inevitable that the wet belt 2.0L bi turbo will grenade itself within 200,000kms and once you option the V6 the price quickly gets up over $70k
It might be a 10 year old car but what is has over a new one is R&D and time to improve and fix bugs and refine pieces of the car that were broken or aren’t preforming properly This isn’t a pro Toyota thing but look at all cars the first few years of a new platform are normally the worst ones Saying that 10 years is a long time and need a new entire platform come on Toyota make a new Ute at some point
This is how Toyota has always done it for the past 30years…10 year cycle & the first generation of the last 3 Lux have had issues the last of this generation will be fine without any problems.
Part of the issue is both that they still sell well worldwide and that they probably still have supply issues with the current Hilux. I believe that the new Hilux is more likely for 2025 end debut, with deliveries realistically 2026.
I recently drove a ranger, amarok and a Gr Sport Hilux and bought the Hilux. My bet is you an expert on vehicles you have never even driven. Such a weak basis for content and a wast of everyone's time.
It was nice as, one thing that was new to me was how strong the lane assist was against the inside line. It was on all the time too, not just on freeways. It doesn't stop you from turning or anything but these days cars try and hold your hand so much. It would be just a press of a button to turn it off each drive. Also, the dmax just had their first update since this new model was launched this year I believe, always nice timing to get the newest look / tech tweaks@@lagouthappydays1117
Rather buy a hilux than a rusty LDV most car manufacturers run the same platforms for 10 years i have a 2018 hilux love it
Very true, Toyota didn't get the brand trust for no reason
Well said when Toyota bring out a full hybrid diesel hilux I’m buying one

And next gen hilux gonna lose the hand brake.
@@ratanakmetal For manual vehicles, the handbrake is necessary for advancing forward from stop, on a hill. So I believe it will have to stay.
@@pedrolahoz The E brake is being featured in Tacoma 2024 with manual transmission. I hope it's doesn't feature in next gen Hilux and fortuner.
The best Ute in the world is Hilux
I agree with you James, up the Lux !

I personally would never by the first of an all new model.
The last of a model run is always always the best sorted version hand's down.
I think a major issue that is holding back the release is that fact that the current Hilux is still selling in record numbers. Just look at data rom Feb 2024 sales increased 11.8% from Feb 2023.
Yes they would be holding off for sure if they are still selling !

New models always have teething problems. Give me a well tested and trusted machine. I need tough and reliable. Not fancy.
💯
In 2021 they brought out the face-lift and a new engine and a new infotainment. Quite happy with that
I prefer the current model, it’s narrow the new one model likely to be wider puffed up body. I think most tradies will switch to 79 with the 2.8.
They might go a big bigger yeah, could be tough on the tighter trails if you do some proper 4x4'ing in it
Sr5 Hilux sales could still out do puffed up body of 2024 Hilux that won’t fit between the trees

Also note the govt is looking at passing a new Ute tax so all new Utes maybe more expensive and pay additional ongoing higher rego fees etc.
That is a solid point
@@BraydenPaver18 that's the triple truth Ruth✌✌

That's a good point, they did have some turbo problems at the start. The first to jump on the new platform might be the testers
Nope. Here in malaysia we still experience issues with our newly purchase hilux. So much so with the reliability of toyota?
I had to buy the current Hilux but man the next gen will probably somehow look like the new Tacoma because they will use the same TNGA Platfrom.
Spot on dude. Got mates that picked up hiluxs this year too, but they are all keen and waiting to see what Toyota are up to

ngl i think the 2025 hilux looks really good, its a bit of a mix of the 2018 and the 2023 grill wise

Nice
A lot has changed since 2015 in hilux inside and out engines transmissions this bloke doesn’t know what he’s talking about
Updates sure but these new models Toyota are bringing out are wild
They will be tier 6 emissions and therefore need ad blue!! Watch the price rise of ad. Lie when most diesels have it
Nice video, unfortunatelly watched late,🙈 as I have paid for a hilux invincible which getting delivered for me next week.🤷♂️
You will not regret the purchase.
@johntheaccountant5594 I won't indeed. Pickup has arrived and it's awesome.👌
Like a donkey with a carrot 😂😂
why fix whats not broke? 10 years but the hilux is still more reliable than a ranger.
Hilux the best off the best
Never buy the first model 😅
Dmax for me
Hope you pack some spare tires
I did test drive a Dmax when they first launched this new gen, pretty nice
I rather buy spare tyres and having problems with engines, I know Dmax are reliable.
@@BraydenPaver18 hey mate, is it worth getting the Dmax?
