The same Ute in NZ (SR5 Cruiser) is $56k and the 2wd version $46k. Great value compared to others. I’ve got one and tow 1.5-2 tonnes regularly and average around 12-13L/100k and 9.5 unladen. Love it.
A thorough comparison review of the Amarok V6 ultimate, Ranger Raptor, Z71 Extreme and Hilux Rugged X.. would crown the KING of the ute market.. a result all blokes are waiting for so eagerly !
LucasVWGolfR These new ones chew the diesel. My sr uses 13/14 lph empty. Loaded towing 17/20 lph with poor performance. Also have had sensor failures and 4wd system only works when it feels like. Shit car in my opinion for heavy off road use.
I have already had the dpf reprogrammed from the dealer. Its had a forced regen once under 25000 kms. I was told there is another dpf upgrade coming out soon. The engine is very Underpowered when compared to ranger and by 50. I go off road with mates in their bt 50 and ranger and they have had no problems as yet. Same year models as my hilux and I find my self back at the dealer getting problems looked at. So much for unbreakable.
I’m not really sure why things like AEB and Radar Cruise aren’t offered on cars like this, especially given it’s $60k price tag. As far as I know it’s only the Ranger that offers it and these days after having it in my last 2 cars I wouldn’t consider a vehicle without it.
I have 2002 sienna Van with tow capacity 2000lb. Question: Can this Van tow a 1100 lb boat with 30 degree angle up hill and with the distant of 400 yard ??
Is this truck built for towing?...it's a very light duty truck can't see it out perform the Fords/Chevy's and Rams when it comes to towing...I might be wrong bcoz I see the Australians are putting it to the test
why is everyone complaining bout the new hiulx when its the best seller at the moment besides from thge dpf issues ive seen alot of hiulx on the road cpmare to the others
Totally agree.My V8 Caprice will bet a Hilux and a Prado towing my two tonne boat on back over 400 meters by over 50 meters without Hilux or Prado towing anything.
Your on crack!, the new ranger has a remapped transit motor in it, my 2015 XLT had three motors replaced in 2yrs, traded for a SR5 and been happy ever since
Michael Chesnais I’ve had my DPF looked at already but it’s really not that big Of a deal, latest remap seems to have done the job according to one of my mates who has been a Toyota mechanic for 20 years, it’s all been a software issue
Brandon: Here in South Africa it’s still offered, it’s the top of the line most expensive model of the Hilux sold here, surely it’s also still being sold in Australia. It’s still a brilliant motor, I own a 2009 Hilux 4.0 V6 and I smoked one of those new fancy pants Amrok V6s at the lights the other day, so in my opinion it’s still the king of the hill. I know it’s not really a direct competitor, most people want a diesel and the petrol V6 is a bit thirstier, you have to really want the petrol V6 because you buy it more with your heart than with your mind. It just annoys me whenever they talk about performance bukkies and don’t even at lest mention the 4.0 Hilux. There’s no replacement for displacement.💪🏻
Matthew Gerlag I believe they stopped selling the 4.0l v6 in Australia 2017. Petrol ute’s just aren’t worth buying in Australia because of fuel costs and fuel economy. You can still buy a petrol 4 cylinder though. But the reason why they have taken out the v6 is because no one is buying them over the diesel.
Brandon: Yeah, even in South Africa about 90% of Hiluxs are diesel, I get why diesels make sense and everyone wants them, it’s just sad the petrol models die out because of it.
Don’t bother buying one if you ever intend on putting slightly bigger tyres for a bit of ride quality or a bigger footprint in sand. The gutless engine and high transmission ratio will be a disappointment and return high fuel consumption. The car is rubbish for towing. I own one. Its garbage.
2.8 LT DIESEL BMW MOTOR NOT ENOUGH GRUNT IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE IF IT WAS A 3.0LT 6 CYLINDER BMW MOTOR INSTEAD TO MATCH MERCEDES AND VW AMAROK V6 DIESEL .
Put a Bullbar winch and dropside tray on it , drive it on dirt with it loaded up and tow a boat around the same weight as tested here and you soon see what a gutless engine this is. Transmission never stop changing gears unless you lock it in a gear. Then in sand it’s useless with them poxy low profile tyres. Rough as guts on corrigations. All round piss poor effort from the engineers from Toyota and not suitable for towing or use in the bush.
Winge winge winge, if you dont like it so much go buy a ranger, then you can winge on all the ranger review videos how your stuck in the middle of no where and how you should have bought a amorok. Shut-up.
Joe Jack my SR5 tows a 2ton excavator on a 300kg trailer and personally I think it tows it fine, that motor hits its max torque at 1400-1500rpm compared to rangers 1800 which makes a big difference, sadly my old ranger was a lemon/warranty pig
These things struggle to get themselves around let alone trying to tow a trailer. The fuel economy is ridiculously high they are gutless and give alot of trouble. Quite regularly you will see blue smoke pouring from the exhaust. It's time the people in aussie woke up and stop buying these hilux just because of the name. Like the rest of the world.
Put two tonne boat on back of my V8 306KW Holden Caprice will still be quicker than your Four cylinder Toyota Hilux Legend>Don't tow anything over 1200kg with a Hilux or any other Four cylinder Dual Cab Rubbish>Use a Dodge Ram for towing anything over 2000kg
to be real the ranger does not have a plastic dashboard I especially like the stitching designs on the seat dashboard and center console. And the the toyotas center screen looks not as nice I mean how its placed. And I don't really agree with the hilux front looks well the toyota rogue looks better though but the rangers more bolder.
@@trezythirdy3527 agree with fact that the ranger is more bolder, powerful and or might be better but exterior wise its not my cup of tea lol. Interior again ugly for both cars. To me the hilux looks more civilized and simple. Tbh with you these are work car so offcourse they will have plastic interior
@@mansourq.689 yes I completely agree they will have plastic interiors just said the ranger but the ranger has a less of the looks. Yes agreed the hilux has a feminine look which I think make it more civilized.

Having said that.... my insurance company told me, the Toyota Hilux is the best vehicle to hold its value. Great review, thanks

I like this reviewers style and this type of review.
How are Toyota going with the recall on DFP issues on these engines. So many people having issues with this 2.8 diesel engine.

Im not surprised the fuel economy was so high, look how hard he was taking the corners and accelerating out of them
Disagree. I get just under 17lt/100km when towing a 950kg camper. Hilux are simply terrible for fuel efficiency
Please do this with the Ranger Raptor, or just any of the new 2L versions
With the Rogue, Rugged and Rugged X i think Toyota should put in a diesel V6, because they are the special models.
Cool James I agree with you. At least a 3.0l TDI v6 will revive the toyota customers wisdoms
I’m not really sure why things like AEB and Radar Cruise aren’t offered on cars like this, especially given it’s $60k price tag. As far as I know it’s only the Ranger that offers it and these days after having it in my last 2 cars I wouldn’t consider a vehicle without it.
James Gentle why do you need that stuff? You have eyes?

It is so beautiful !!

Still cant beat the reliability of the old petrol V6 Hilux...
How long will this engine last...(dust passing air filter...ahhh what a feeling)
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
May I ask ? Which model watch u wearing ? :-)
Surprised that those American luxury trucks haven't made to Australia yet, probably due to luxury car tax.
Why don’t you put 2.5T of boat on it and see how she goes not a boat a standard sedan can tow?
Totally agree.My V8 Caprice will bet a Hilux and a Prado towing my two tonne boat on back over 400 meters by over 50 meters without Hilux or Prado towing anything.
Ford Ranger and Ford Ranger Raptor are the most and Best Pickup Midsize Truck. Built Ford Tough!
Sandy... didn't anyone tell you what ford stands for... First On Rubbish Dump
Your on crack!, the new ranger has a remapped transit motor in it, my 2015 XLT had three motors replaced in 2yrs, traded for a SR5 and been happy ever since
FORD - Fix Or Repair Daily
How long have you been working for Ford ?
Fuel consumption is too high when towing
I wouldnt buy 1 till toyota fixes the DPF issues
Michael Chesnais I’ve had my DPF looked at already but it’s really not that big Of a deal, latest remap seems to have done the job according to one of my mates who has been a Toyota mechanic for 20 years, it’s all been a software issue
From 2018 all diesel hiluxes have a manual DPF regen button
Why doesn’t anyone ever talk about the 4.0 V6 petrol Hilux?
Matthew Gerlag because there is none
Brandon: Here in South Africa it’s still offered, it’s the top of the line most expensive model of the Hilux sold here, surely it’s also still being sold in Australia.

THANK FOR VIDEO AS PRICE TOO HIGH WHAT GETTING IN TOUR
In the philippines we call it the Toyota Hilux Conquest😁
When you towing, do you use H4 or H2?
The Hilux doesn't have a centre diff so on road it is in 2H
Why not test a 2.7t van ,guess it wouldn’t do it
Dmax tow test next
Joshua Schubert d max can’t tow everything
D max is the worst for towing
Don’t bother buying one if you ever intend on putting slightly bigger tyres for a bit of ride quality or a bigger footprint in sand.
The gutless engine and high transmission ratio will be a disappointment and return high fuel consumption.
The car is rubbish for towing.
I own one.
Its garbage.
Then sell the car
I agree... we are going to sell mine
What do you recommend?
2.8 LT DIESEL BMW MOTOR NOT ENOUGH GRUNT IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE IF IT WAS A 3.0LT 6 CYLINDER BMW MOTOR INSTEAD TO MATCH MERCEDES AND VW AMAROK V6 DIESEL .
D max, better car in every way, and cheaper, way cheaper
🤣😂🤣
steelgong is true tho

Joe Jack I agree I had similar towing issues with a Pajero Sport. Sold after 12 disappointing months.

Shut-up.
Joseph Finlay
Hahaha that’s funny.
Nah I keep my cars for around 10 years.
I’m wanna see how long it lasts before it has a major failure of some sort.

@@shawsie5780 exactly.. so does mine, not an issue with it, my excavator is 2.4t and trailer is .8, my luxie loves it. I do have a manual but.

What happened to “reliability” Toyota?? 😂😂😂😂
Ranger dominates
Why can’t they make decent looking utes like holden n ford or even vw. Toyota looks and work like donkey with looks n dependable
deep mead I completely disagree. Certainly nicer than VW

Add black rims and black grill and roll bar and the sheep will keep buying them
