This is the only actually useful training presentation on using the Hilux drive system that I have seen to date. Well done.
Thank you, Barry! Appreciate the support.
@@ilamtoyota agreed!
This is not a sales video, just an honest demonstration of a Hilux 👍
Thank you! Exactly what we were aiming for :)
I have owned three Toyota Hilux's so far. Looking at upgrading again soon.
All three have never missed a beat.
Each one served as a purpose that I needed at that time, great vehicle.
Thank you Toyota!
Mick from Australia xxx
Thanks so much, Mick! Great to hear from you and your love of the Hilux :)
This is the most usefull drivecourse video on the tube. Thanks Pete love to see more of your videos
Thank you, Barend! We appreciate it.
The new inputs I learned from this is great. Never knew that the Hilux is really a cut above the rest of the pickup trucks.
Thanks so much, Jan!
Thank you so much. This has to be the most informational and useful video on the subject in YT!
Don't often comment on videos but wanted to say thanks. Have a 2022 on order, only ever owned 75 series and kun26 hiluxes and have no idea how modern cars work. This explained quite a lot 👍
I have watched this so many times and learned something different each time. Thank you!
Thanks so much, David! Glad you're finding our video useful.
Awesome video breakdown, planning to get one and this was the best review by far
Thanks so much! Appreciate your kind words.
Instead of comparing cars that will always be different it’s about time for a video that demonstrates what the car has to offer as a car not a badge comparison
Thanks so much! That's exactly what we were going for. Really appreciate that you noticed.
Great teacher......wow...thank you for helping me become a 4x4 toyota hilux good driver...And i am loving my toyota hilux legend Auto 2021 model.....
Unbelievable capabilities, well done, sir!
I don't own a Toyota hilux but i drove one in off road and it was absolutely amazing. I wish i had known all this info presented in this video. Now i understand better how to drive the car. In the near future i will buy my own hilux.
Thanks so much, Matthias! We hope you have a Hilux in your driveway one day soon!
Lovely review. Simple and direct to the point
Thank you, Timothy.
Excelent video. A true lesson!!!
Thanks, Nuno! We really appreciate it :)
This is how all car dealers should show customers capabilities of there products .
Thanks, John. We really appreciate that.
pro trick: you can watch series on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Ulises River yup, I've been watching on Flixzone for since november myself :)
I’ll have to watch again ha ha to much to remember.
I bought the sr 19 and makes me laugh how many people are amazed at the capability of mine.
Stock tyres and until sept 21 stock suspension (now ome and bp51 shocks)
Not bogged yet.
Sand, mud, gravel hills ruts small creek crossings.
I’m struggling to even bother spending on tyres when so far not needed.
Great vid
My biggest problem was and still is getting in and out of L2 and locking the rear so this weekend going to fine tune that now watching this vid.
Im just looking at a 2wd cause i dont really go offroad a lot but I want a rock solid ute and Hilux is my choice. I may occasionally go onto the beach or some wet ground so its really nice to know that the 2WD has something there
Absolutely fantastic video
Thank you, Nicholas!
Thanks Pete, i WILL be getting the new hilux now
You might have to change your profile photo! ;)
I just bought the new SR5, I dont pick it up till next week this video is amazingly helpful considering Im coming from a 2008 N70
Thanks for the feedback, and congrats on your new SR5! ^Mark
Great video, thanks for that 👍🏽
Thanks Mark! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great informative video, just purchased a UK spec 2019 Invincible X. Nice to know what it will do even if mine will never do any serious off roading, just dirt tracks and snow.
Awesome, congrats on your new Hilux! One of the best things about being behind this video from Christchurch in New Zealand is seeing all these comments from around the world of people who have just bought their own new Hilux vehicles, some in unique variations for each country. So good to hear - thanks again, and hope your new Hilux goes well! ^Mark
Just excellent. Thank you
You're welcome! Thank you for your comment.
Bloody amazing, totally and absolutely amazing. Great presentation and clearly demonstrated. That's clarified my choice of cars Amorak or Hilux and Hilux it is! Thank you
Thanks so much, Philip! All the best for your new Hilux and welcome to the Toyota family!
Best information ever. Better than some of those pickup truck drag race videos.
Thanks Geeth!
Free hilux tutorial. Beautiful!
If I didn't already own one, this video would have sold me. Very insightful and informative.
Thanks so much! And hope you're enjoying your Hilux :)
Thanks a lot.. Very beneficial
Got a 4x4 TD SR5 Manual professional demonstration coming any time soon?
Very informative, I have a 2016 Hilux 2.8 but wondering why the rear locker keeps dropping out.Have to keep activating every time you stop get going again?
The rear factory locker can only be used on Low range, no good for sand driving or when momentum is needed.
I had to get a E locker fitted to the front so I can have a locker using High range especially driving through sandy Exits. Absolute necessity !!
At times its difficult to change back through from 4 L to 4h or even activating the rear Locker.
I always have to select Neutral and (rock back and forth) that help some times.
The Installer did tell me the rear diff lock is just a LSD maybe that's why its not very effective, It would be interesting to see if anyone had the same experience.
Cheers ,
Mick S.
didnt know ilam toyota had a channel, a customer here - gr yaris, LC300, 150 prado, couple of Rav4s and a hilux!
That's really good!
I got me a shiny new Toyota flatdeck 4*4 a few months ago.
It is a manual, as opposed to an auto, and I Toyotally love it :) .
Great to hear it! Hope you're enjoying our new 4x4 :)
@@ilamtoyota
Yup. I am loving it, and it drives like a dream :) .
I love how he says "when i give it the jandal' churrrrrrr 🇳🇿
Awesome!! You made it much easier to understand than the manual! Thank you!!!
Thanks so much! We're so glad we could help you understand more about the Hilux :)
@@ilamtoyota A question for you guys. On my 2022 Hilux do I need to install an oil catch can and a secondary fuel filter?!?!
@@user-gt8pb9bw7l it depends - your 2022 Hilux has been designed and built by engineers that have built your vehicle in a tried-and-tested way to get the best possible results and driving performance for most common uses. If you want to use your Hilux in a way that may differ from the norm or you have other needs, then your first step is to go to your nearest Toyota Store and ask them for recommendations based on your needs and your particular model. Hope that helps!
@@ilamtoyota t Thank you again!!!
What do i do if it refuses to switch back to h2 from l4
Can you use PWR mode taking off from 0 or do you have to be driving in order to use it
I have a question the 2 x4 will it be powerfull enough to pull my boat from a slipway or should I just go for 4 x 4
Great video, I just bought the next 2019 model. Can't wait to get it dirty.
Awesome, congrats Jasen! Hope it's been going well :)
Wow thought my car was good but now I understand it so much better, worth it over the other types
Glad we could help, Samuella! :)
Does the hill hold system work on manual hilux?
very informative video. thanks.
I notice that you switched L4 from H4 while the car was moving. Is it ok?
Well spotted, Bam! Pete is an expert but does tend to push his utes to the limit to see how much they'll take. My understanding, though, is that the official word from Toyota is the vehicle should be stationary when making this change. I just had a quick Google and see Toyota UK reference that here: blog.toyota.co.uk/hilux-four-wheel-drive-system#:~:text=To%20shift%20from%20H4%20to,control%20switch%20to%20engage%20L4.
^Mark
Great video and Pete is fabulousl. I just took my auto 2.8gd6 onto sand for the first time and there is quite a lot to learn in relation to my past Toyota autos.
Thanks Bevan! And enjoy discovering your new Hilux!
Just a great YT.. thanks made🇸🇪
Im from UK so mine has never been out of eco mode and im still crying every time i fill it up
Is it that bad? I was looking at getting one
@@andrewhollis6665 No its amazing but dont expect such a massive and heavy car to give good economy. All cars of this size will be similar. I get between 32-40mpg. 32 over the moors and in traffic, 40mpg on motorway going 60-70mph
Wish the DAC was tuned a bit slower, bit too brisk for rocky downhill descents.
Im Stil confused about moving H4 into L4 and the diff lock....beeps every time still!
Hi Ben, we'd recommend dropping in to your local Toyota Store. If they're like us, they'd be happy to confirm the process for your exact model, and they'd make you a takeaway coffee while they were at it :)
A great video and demonstration but camera didn't show the features you explaining clearly .
Great explanation , thanks !
Any more vids about this truck
We have a 2019 D4D engine and it’s soooo gutless in 4H 2WD and 4H 4WD. Even up some hills I have to slip the clutch, feels like the torque isn’t doing anything
I undestood everything 😃
Wont all that be in the manual
Thanks so much for explaining this vehicle to me . Go hilux , go power that 79 series now make it better
It's a beast
😎
We agree! :D Thanks @enricio
So an automatic one of these is really that much better than a manual?
Yeah nice vid horn
I like this
Thanks, Syahmi!
What year of Hilux is this box in ? I'm UK based so what model of Hilux would I be looking for in the UK to get this? Thankyou.
Hi Ian, we filmed this in New Zealand in 2019 with the current model Hilux of the time. We'd recommend passing that info - and this video link - onto your local Toyota Store and asking them to confirm whether this matches the UK model of the time. Good luck!
@@ilamtoyota good advice thankyou. Ps great video and very informative driver 👌
Ps in new Zealand what do you call this transmission? Might help when asking 👍
@@ian4782 hey thanks, we appreciate it! We'll be sure to pass that onto Pete as well :)
@@ian4782 I believe this one could be the 6-speed automatic transmission with 'Automatic Disconnecting Differential'. Last page of the spec sheet: www.toyota.co.nz/globalassets/brochures/2021/hilux-range-03-21-web.pdf
No differential locker ?
has a rear diff-lock, is used in the wheel lift section towards the end.
I bet most of the people who have reviewed the Hilux or compared it with other UTEs don't know much abt the features demonstrated
I just bought my 2020 Legend 50 2 days ago. Amazing car.
@@shabangu288 what have you loved the most so far? Tht's my dream truck my guy
Very educational.
However I am buying a Toyota Standard Cab 2.8 diesel 4x4 and it is only comes in manual and a normal cable handbrake.
I think long term a manual with less electronics means less things to go wrong in the future.
In Australia you can the 2.8L in auto.
I love my toyotas and own a fortuner but gotta say the mitsubishi super select system is more advanced
Nothing comes close to the N80 Hilux one of the most capable 4WD's but also great for all things not just off road
You clearly love the auto, but is the manual any good?
A manual can be started with a push down a hill if your battery is flat, an automatic cannot.
I am just a dumb cave man and I love my 86 high lux4*4 20r 😊 💨
What the heck is a jandal?
This guy is the ObiWan of Toyota Hilux’
This video deserves much better camera work
As the person who filmed this (along with my colleague, Ash), I completley agree Gerard! :D We had the option of employing a professional videographer, but we've actually found better success the less 'polished' videos that are just simply one of our team with a basic camera. The pros also tend to crop a lot of the vocals in favour of fast moving fancy shots, and we didn't want to do that. At the end of the day, we're at the dealership level with a limited budget. The value in this video is Pete's knowledge, and hopefully that comes across ok. My apologies for the shakey-cam either way! ^Mark
My head hurts
So sorry to hear that, Jack! We recommend a visit to your local Toyota Store so they can explain it more in person. Alternatively, a visit to a pharmacist could help ;) :D
Red lining a brand new car. I feel bad for the bloke that buys it once their done with it
No need to feel bad, Nathan. These vehicles were meant to withstand more than a little red lining, and this Hilux was well warmed up by the time the video came around.
Salut my friend super car super video subscribe subscribe .
Thanks my friend subscribe subscribe ...
This is what I need to sell me on a car a guy who know what I wanna use it for wheeling and a work Ute
The load bin is hideous!
Would've been better in a Kiwi accent.

Great pres but it actually confirms automatic are a pain in the arse and they will never be as reliable and durable as a manual. CVT are notoriously rubbish, if they reach 80K lifespan it is a miracle, I am guessing the Hilux is a DCT which is slightly more reliable albeit you won't get 300K out of them and they are super expensive to repair. This is where the manual wins it for me, no point buying a car capable of reaching 400K if you have to have your auto transmission replaced or repaired every 100K. Now I don't know what the new Toyota "assisted" manual is and I don't like the sound of it too much (assisted sounds like automatic to me) I am just missing the 100% manual low gear knob because for me the main interest is that sometime going proper off road you come to a stop in front of a daunting obstacle, you're not going to drive straight into it and shift H2 to H4 to L4. You are going to stop you are going to assess, you are going to engage low gear and then go through the obstacle very slowly. I wish 4WD manufacturer would produce an "old school" series of their off roaders, no electric seats, no air conditioning, no electric windows, no leather, just rugged fabrics and rubber to the interior and everything manual for an affordable price, basically a tractor that is road capable without being a formula 1. Bouncy rides don't bother me so much, it comes with the size of the car because these things are meant to be driven, they are meant to be a bit physical. The whole assisted this and that sometimes is just a name code for over engineered aka will let you down. A great durable 4WD should have very little electronic and be absolutely bulletproof. I am not super convinced that the latex Hilux is as durable as the models from the 90s for this reason. I am a biker and I am the same with my bikes, I hate bikes that you don't feel, they ride soft, there is no character nor physicality to it and it feels unsafe. Whatever the vehicle is you should feel a response to it, clutch are meant to be a bit physical to shift, pedals and steering wheels are meant to be a little physical too. I don't think that clients realize that the less physical a car is, the more parts there are and the more parts there are to assist you, the more likely it is to break down. Less moving parts is always better for durability. Thanks for the presentation though, it is great. I like that it is not a permanent 4WD. For me the match is between the Hilux and the Mercs X350D, granted Toyota is always a better choice in NZ.
City Car salesman:
You want the specification range of power using the throttle to progressively increase speed.
Hilux salesman: Give it some Jandal...
I will be buying one!
However there still not just as capable as a new Land Rover....
However because the hilux is so much cheaper I would rather buy one.
U.S toyota truck is much better looking and stronger than toyota hilux... your off road test is garbabe!.... why dont you go up on the mountains and take a real challenge....
Bernard Fernandez Of course if it’s garbage, it’s not American. Which bit of the American Japanese truck is better than the rest of the world Japanese truck ??
Because it is an instructional video
You funny. The Taco is a consumer grade vehicle were as the Hilux is a commercial grade vehicle. Stop talking rubbish.
