Hahaha ah I miss home. I live in Austria now and I’m watching this lovely Hilux review and there’s someone by the window selling something, and the famous “No, thank you.” Comes up. 🤣 I proper, SA review.
Hi Juliet 👋.. This is the only car I'll shamelessly spend my money on. Yes, I know it's quite harsh and industrial, especially if you compare it with the competition. The screen is definitely outdated, but I think it will get the job done. In fact, the entire dashboard design is hard and scratchy, but everything in it is made to last than to impress. That engine is by far the most reliable in the industry, nothing comes close. Yes it's noisy and it probably not the fastest, but it surely have more that enough power for every task thrown at it. The Ford Ranger is cute but I'm sorry 😞.
Thanks for the review. Santam Warranty is by far the best warranty. Only downfall is that you have to be insured with them. Most aftermarket warranty plans have a limit rand value on the components that they cover. (e.g Turbo cover amount R8 000. Turbo costs R12 000, so you are liable for the difference.) With Santam, they cover you per claim and not per component, which makes it a great choice.
I can back this up! ☝️ all our cars are insured with Santam, whilst our house with the long term parent, Sanlam. And I do confirm that Santam always covers everything - no shortfall cost ;). And this is also with my excess on my car being only R1000 for it’s low premium, which is significantly lower than 90% of its competitors with the exception of an excess fee waiver 👏
@@duncanjacobs402 I also have Santam home and car insurance. It's been absolutely amazing from day 1. Didn't know about the vehicle maintenance product though. Will enquire asap.
The Hilux and Fortuner is still the best vechile money can buy! Especially now that the Ranger is the most hijacked vehicle acording to statistics 😂😂😂😂
It is high on that list, unfortunately. But it is also the best selling bakkie in SA which means there are more of them to steal than any other bakkie.
Not true, the battery is less than R15k on the Hilux and Fortuner. And no it will never fail within the first 10 years of ownership. Please get your facts straight before posting fake news! I've been a Master technician on Toyota's for over 23 years.
Just wanted to say to everyone reading this that Jesus loves you and He wants to give you eternal life today. If you want to accept Jesus in your life please say the repeat the following: Romans 10:9 NIV [9] I declare with my mouth, “Jesus Christ is Lord,” and I believe in my heart that God raised him from the dead. Lord I repent of my sins and past ways and from this day forward I choose you, come and be my guide and lead me into a life that leads to eternal life. In Jesus name, Amen." Congratulations and welcome to the Kingdom of God. Heaven is rejoicing over you. You are now saved. Please take the next step and get to know God through bible reading, prayer and, worship. Additionally find a church home, get baptized and grow in the faith. Thank you brethren.
Hilux is running on brand strength only,its outdated in comfort and features,and overpriced.Most owners wont agree as they are biased and egotisticle.And yes I know what Im talking about,ive owned 1.Amoroks and Rangers are far better
I'm happy to see you now use thumbnails of the car. Makes for easy scrolling through your page.
I love the legendary hilux...doesn't age according to me and the grill update looks so stunning
True true!
Yeah, looks like a proper bakkie
Like the owner can fix anything with a pocket knife 😂
Stunning is not a word I usually associate with Hilux, grills or Toyota in general
100% agree with you!
It makes me happy this days 2 see lady review bakkie or any car.
Its about time... i've been waiting for this car review for far too long
Hahaha I do apologise for the delay ;)

You do realize that the number #1 most hijacked vehicle in SA is the new Ranger right😂😂😂😂
@robinbell2263 That i didn't know, coz Toyota Fortuner and Hilux are always on the top of the list as the most hijacked.

I tend to agree with you on all your points!!

100%, you just know what you buying here.
It is my dream car❤

Wow, that's the first I hear of this. Thanks for that info dude.
I was under the impression all of them operate like a medical aid 😂

I wish I could get this in the USA
Saw someone got quoted 34k for a hybrid battery in their Corolla Cross and imagine how much this one would cost and it doesn’t even work. 😂
That goes for any hybrid battery. Got nothing to do with the brand. Hybrid batteries are not cheap! 😂
Julez, why do all journalists test carsalways have GP plates🤔
The cars are often registered there and then come down to CT to the media fleet before returning to JHB.
Oh I love this car but sadly I would never stress myself on purpose by owning one…
haha fair enough
Definitely needs a new interior. It's awful compared to other offerings
The Hilux and Fortuner is still the best vechile money can buy! Especially now that the Ranger is the most hijacked vehicle acording to statistics 😂😂😂😂
It’s less than 3 off my cordless drills 😂
Toyota milking the shit out of this Hilux
hahahaha
Love this car but yey it gets stolen alot😢💔
It is high on that list, unfortunately. But it is also the best selling bakkie in SA which means there are more of them to steal than any other bakkie.
You should reconsider. According to statistics the Ford Ranger has now taken the place as the number #1 most stolen and hijacked vehicle in SA!
Forget the Mild Hybrid,18k goes towards the diesel bills.
I hear ya!
Sounds like hybrids in Chinese models, still high fuel consumption
But it’s a hilux it will sell like hot cakes
Hi to all the non EV guys seeing the title thinking.. WHAT IT HAS 48 VALVES?
😂😂😂 I'm not gonna lie...got me too, Toyota hilux V12 😂
Hahahaha this is a common problem. But imagine, 48 Valves! ha ha ha ha
😂😂😂😂. 48 valves?
The problems is tooooooo much sensors 250.000 km it Start's to go
I was always kind of average😂😂😂😂
Once that battery fails and the check engine light comes on the R18 will become R200k
Eeeek!

Self distracted umlungu. Angmuzwa nje mina
Is the problem English or is it that you don't understand her reviews
Next Hilux 2028 .
