  • Toyota has given the new HiLux 500Nm of torque! Plus it now has wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. But, has the 2021 Toyota HiLux SR5 fallen behind the times? Paul Maric tests the latest HiLux to see if it has the goods to keep up with the competitors in this segment, like vehicles like the Ford Ranger, Volkswagen Amarok, Mitsubishi Triton, Isuzu D-Max and Nissan Navara, amongst others.

    Best local review channel in my view, bar none.
    Nothing wrong with Toyotas. Durable and relatively capable. Bit hit and miss at times with styling but they tend to grow on you. Interiors are often a generation or two behind - but unless you're changing your vehicle every 12 months we're all living with older interiors eventually.
    I'm not sure the "my brand is ace yours is crap" game benefits anyone. I've only ever owned one Toyota, but know enough people to accept they're perfectly fine. Hilux, Ranger, Amarok - whatever. Buy the one you like and let everyone enjoy their choice. Reliability? Lot more to do with with maintenance and how hard you are on your car to be honest. All manufacturers have issues at times. Local dealers, that's another story. But then again, missing services and thrashing it when its cold are big risk factors.
    One area of concern for Toyota is cost. Some of their vehicles are relatively expensive. Re-sale is one thing, but spending an extra $20K to recoup an extra $5k is odd logic. The point is you're not always getting as much for your money. I understand reliability. But spending thousands less on an alternative leaves a lot in the kitty to pay for repairs, or upgrades. And, as an 'older' timer - almost all new cars are reliable when compared to a few decades back.
    Each to their own. I could live with almost any of the dual cab utes. Even the LDV. Local bloke has one and with a tray it looks good. He's happy too. And that's the thing. Tests are an interesting comparison but you never really get to know a vehicle until you live with it.

      Agree with most of what you say but the premium in initial purchase does come back, I paid 56k d/a auto with leather, tow bar, liner & sold for 53k 18 months later, only had 20,000 on it though.

    • @chappo4845
      @chappo4845 3 роки тому +3

      Agree Craig, if you're looking at a $56K truck from another manufacturer.
      Setting aside perceived quality and enjoyment, anyone paying $30 - 40K over the same period for an alternate would have to lose substantially more to wipe out the difference in lease/loan payments.
      Not everyone finances, but most do.
      I love a good base model and tend to keep my vehicles for a long time. What I lose in re-sale is usually well covered by the saving in purchase price and spread over a number of years.
      But as I said, nothing wrong with a Hilux.

    Leather is a option
    tub liner option
    Tow bar option
    roller shutter or hard lid option
    No blind spot monitoring at all ???

    To have all the above options i wanted in a Ute I was quoted 72k ,,,12k more than the Isuzu X terrain with a tow bar under 60k With all the options listed above
    And more .
    I have driven both and I feel like the X terrain is a far more comfortable

    Toyota rests on its laurels on the good reputation as a reliable and trusted brand. Unfortunately it translates into an attitude of ‘we don’t need to build premium items into our vehicles’ which means hard plastics and no rear or cross traffic alerts in this cab chassis. This is also why the Troop carrier still rusts in the chassis rails and roof gutters etc. which is shameful when they expect you to pay over $70k for a design that’s over 30 years old. Come on Toyota you need to build a new gen Troopy. John

THE SR5 tyre and rim package is not as "offroad" friendly. The Ford ranger has more towing power but the seats and driving position don't feel right to me, and after a long drive I find myself busting to get out of it. The hilux is more comfortable to spend a lot of time in.

    I think toyota tries to hit the side of the market that care a little more about build quality and reliability hense keeping the hydraulic steering rack and not adding too many soft plastics and sensors. I guess even though your technically getting less features your paying for the test of time a little more then the others. (Although i do think that dmax motor is going to be a very valid competitor in reliability against the hilux)

    I'm all about comfort. I do 80-100,000 kms a year so long drives in a stiff ute would be an issue. Also with limited rear seat space isn't ideal. I get the durability though.

    You have a 3rd option on the power/eco mode press either button to turn the option on, then press it again for the computer to decide on the mode. In eco mode, though, if you plant your foot it will go into power mode. I have been told (it was stressed) that when towing ALWAYS use power mode. Power mode is still economical when up to speed or accelerating gently.
    Edit: I have friends with other brands of 4wd’s - I’ve had 3 Hilux and have just ordered my 4th. So yes, once a Hilux owner your caught in their trap😉😃 For me it’s been the reliability - and it’s a truck, so the hard interior, isn’t a problem.

    The new 2022 Ranger with V6 and full time 4WD and a host of wizz bang features makes the Hilux look so dated. Toyota will need to drop their Hilux prices to encourage sales otherwise the buying proposition is dwindling for what now appears as a prehistoric vehicle in comparison to the new Ranger and VW Amarok when it arrives after the Ranger.

    The electronic safety features are a welcome addition, it would have been nice to add TPMS and auto rain sensing for the significant price increase. The upgraded engine is a powerhouse tho the gearbox shift is a bit harsh when engaging from neutral. Hardened Toyota fans will love it but the after sales service is lacking.

    Hilux is a agricultural vehicle, they are built to last, and they are built for tough conditions. So that’s why they’ve kept the cab chassis version from factory in the sr5, so those mine sites and tradies can throw the steel tray on there.

    I think with the price increase and Toyota playing catch up all the time they have missed the bus. They are awfully slow with modernization. Just got Apple Car Play and Android Auto (I think should be mandatory get's people off their phones whilst driving.!). The DPF issue was not addressed well and took a class action against them to admit fault. There is no doubt the new Isuzu Dmax is a better buy than the Hilux and the Ranger outsells the Lux in the high end category. If I wanted a work horse that is reliable and well equipped and modern the Isuzu Dmax is it. If I wanted a high end ute the Ranger is the market leader. I will be surprised if Toyota continue to dominate this category if you take away their fleet sales. (Low end workhorse models).

    When you live in the bush, like I do, it is important to have a good Dealer network to take care of warranty and servicing/parts. Thats why I buy Toyota. Anything mechanical has the potential to fail so you need that back up just in case. There are a lot of dual cabs on the market and some with very low sales figures. Poor sales cannot be sustained and I can see a few more Manufactures pulling out of this market.

    • @CarExpertAus

      Unfortunately because of this, Toyota doesn't try to compete against the class leaders since they enjoy already a healthy amount of sales. If they made a class leading ute (which I believe they can, since they are the biggest car manufacturer in the world) coupled with their excellent dealer network, it would be a true game changer.

    Hi Lux amazes me how it is often the Number 1 but always offers a Number 2 (or less) vehicle? I guess a lot has to do with resale volumes due to Government and mining vehicles always pouring into the market. The new BT50/Isuzu should outsell Toyota easily given their price, refinement, finish and off road capabilities. I have been hearing for 30 years that the Hi Lux has missed the mark but they must be doing something right. The long term quality must be taken into account as they do generally stay running for decades. BT50/Isuzu for me though, or will it be the new Navarra?
