The best comprehensive review i have seen of the Hilux
Cheers man, very much appreciate that.
Take care Harry Ghajanan R :)
Off-roading is where the Hilux feels more at home and what it's mainly designed for. Thanks.
Hi Top Eagle, couldn't agree more that it feels most happiest off-road crushing trails that most standard cars would seriously struggle to negotiate. That said, it's not a bad daily either - be it runs to the shops, the hardware store, or even school. Pretty all around good thing.
Cheers for commenting and I hope you liked the video - take care mate :D
The amount of steering work that guy put in is crazy
Just burning calories anbu999 ;-)
great review, sold me on the Rugged X. Love your personality and enthusiasm, keep doing you mate
Oh wow, thanks so much @arthur0497858 - the positive feedback is always very much appreciated.
Take care and enjoy the rig :D
Hi Dave awesome review dude you know about the Vehicle makes it very easy to make up your mind of.what you want to buy wish all.other vidoes was a good as yours mate keep.it up
Thanks Sai Khan. Does that mean you're buying one?
@@DaveZalstein no i have already got a car but thanks for asking
@@saikhan1986 No worries and take care :D
Ha ha - the interiors too dark! Mate I would be more than happy to swap my 2006 “old people’s home interior styling” Hilux for that! 😜 actually like it a lot!
agreed
Oh for sure mate, I totally get that it's a fair step up from HiLuxs of the past, but it's more something to let people know about - it still is very dark in there.
Cheers for commenting though and for watching the vid. I hope you liked it :D
I will always go for manuel, purely because I find it easier for off roading and its also a tad smoother
Hey Zac Wayman, I like a manual too - just feels like I have more control and awareness of what's really going on (be it on track or off-road).
Cheers for commenting and I hope you liked the video - take care mate :D
The auto is great,can pull down for engine braking in low range ..
The effort on steering 😂😂🤙🏻
Haha, just working hard so you don't have to ;-)
Good off road tyres.
Good review bro thank you whats wrong with your steering
You'll note there's a lot less wheel work on the road than off-road. Off-road the thing moves around a fair bit, particularly on the terrain we were driving over.
Cheers.
What's the difference between the 2019 vs 2020 model?
Hey Jason R, this particular model - the Rugged X - is the flagship HiLux model from Toyota, that means it gets all the extras mentioned in the video. As for what changed from this to the 2020 HiLux, a few key things, including:
engine power and torque increases to 150kW and 500Nm
updated looks, headlights, grille, etc
suspension tweaks and fine tuning
and a variable flow control power-steering pump to reduce low-speed steering effort
Hope that helps man and cheers for watching :D
And No more manual option from 2020 facelift on.
Is it comfortable on road?
In my experience, the HiLux can't compete with the likes of the Ford Ranger and VW Amarok for on-road comfort and manners, but the HiLux isn't terrible, just generally better with load in the back.
Cheers and thanks for watching.
why hilux rugged x has no spare tyre?
Hey wayyan ling,
I don't normally say this but, I don't know. I can't recall if this particular car did have one, but I don't think it did. I know that newer versions of the Rugged X, like the 2021 version, at least in Australia, do have a spare, but not 100 per cent sure about this guy.
Sorry mate.
lane departure alert..its a bit more than that but
Guest Experience Centre ! which twat in a suit thought of that ? I am a customer with consumer rights, take f...ing note Toyota . apart from that good review.
G'day Ian walker, sorry to hear your displeasure. Have you had dramas dealing with Toyota or dramas with your car or both? Have you got a HiLux? Are you in Australia?
Seperate to that, I'm stoked you liked the video :D
"Review", (a formal assessment of something with the intention of instituting change if necessary.) This video is more a less a walkaround with annoying commentry and a drive-along. I really disliked watching this video.
'Internet troll' - A person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others' perception.
While I'm sure your 15 subscribers really appreciate your own videos, I've never called my videos 'reviews'. I don't claim to review the cars, I don't score the cars, I don't rate them. So, you've effectively walked into an Italian restaurant, eaten a lasagne, and then complained that the food wasn't even Chinese food. Well done legend. Jog on...
@@DaveZalstein Yet there you are all over the comment sections thanking your viewers that compliment you on a great review, for example, Harry Ghajanan R. I Did not see you correcting that gentleman on his choice of writing the word review. I'm not here to argue with you nor to provoke you, just please accept that in retrospect your video is a complete waste of the viewer's time. I will agree with your definition of the word troll but disagree I am a troll. Also please consider trolls that put input into your reviews are only because they are considering spending a lot of their hard-earned money on a product and when researching the internet for other professional opinions, (example your video) they expect a quality satisfactory of worthy of the cause, I still agree that your video ( if meant to convince me to buy the brand ) was 100% totally useless and I wrote those comments in the hope you would read it and make a better video which may actually help somebody buy the product, instead all your useless information was nothing more than "Mental Masturbation"
@@adey-1974 Hey legend,
So, there's no need to correct commenters like Harry Ghajanan R because they haven't had an issue about my videos not being reviews - they've just commented on the video itself. You complained that the video that wasn't a review, wasn't a review. It's quite different.
Further, I most certainly do not accept that the video is a complete waste of the viewer's time. In fact, it seems plenty of people actually really appreciate my videos. I provide free content full of information about cars people might like, own, or are thinking of owning. That's it mate. And did I provide information? Yes. Was it free? Also yes. End of story. You don't have to like it.
And if you think the purpose of a 'review' is to convince someone to buy a product or a brand, then you might want to reconsider your definitions. Content aimed at convincing you to buy a product or brand is called advertising - that's not this.
Safe travels sir.
@@DaveZalstein Hi Dave, It's a real shame you do not recognize an opportunity for improvement as there is always room for improvement no matter what the content is. If you are interested in improving your video I am happy to offer you some advice.
@@adey-1974 Totally agree, room for improvement is a great thing. So is constructive criticism, which, "all your useless information was nothing more than 'Mental Masturbation'" most certainly is not.
All the best.
