I just love how this is simple, and great. I really prefer the black plastic, also giving a cooler look it makes you use it harder and more, so you dont worry about all those scratches etc.

While I love the big flashy pickups we have here in the US, I really wish we had a no nonsense truck on sale here. No 12 inch screen, no leather seats, and no 20 inch wheels, just a bare bones truck with crank windows and a manual transmission for dirt cheap that can take a proper beating for 25 years.

There's a fair amount of appeal of the 'UN' spec Hilux. The steel wheels look goo - although on the Fortuner it looks like someone stole your normal rims from the train station...

I agree with you on that, but I'm not a really big fan of the flashy trucks that you normally see on the streets but I really wish the Hilux and Isuzu D-MAX were sold here in the states but unfortunately they can't due to certain circumstances so we just gotta work with what we got

Really enjoying the videos Caradvice are pumping out lately. Well produced, entertaining and informative. Keep it up.

Well done James! Greetings from Switzerland :)

Interesting. In Germany we don't have the "workmate" spec but "duty". Duty is only available as extra cab or single cab for whatever reason. Duty has rear diff lock, too. At the moment you can only buy the 2.4L engine. Not sure if we get the bigger one also here. I got an extra cab with a slightly higher spec end of last year called "duty comfort" which should match with your SR models. I'm fine with the smaller engine. You don't win races with a ute anyhow and I'm not towing a lot. Toyota in Germany gives 17% discount if you are a hunter provided you are member in a hunting association. That at least saved me any price discussions. I've been watching your reviews prior to buying it and it helped a lot to finally make that decision. So far I didn't regret it. Thanks!

Great reviews, you should really be the host of Top Gear Australia, love your reviews

Nice Review! Since I drive this one, in the european "Duty" Version, which also includes a manual diff lock, I totally agree with your statements! A lot of car for the money, nice and easy to drive, even on smaller european Roads, 100 Percent offroad capable and for sure a better Price/Performance Ratio than most of the polished Lifestyle SUVs (most of them NO serious Offroaders) on the market today. For Peope who know what they want in a car - and what they want not - this is the solution.

In fact this is all the equipment you'll ever need! Our fathers didn't have even this but they had more fun on the road and were much better drivers!

We have the variant Toyota Hilux E 2.4L 4x4 MT in the PH but not the Workmate.. i like a basic no-frills 4x4 workhorse.. hope to get one soon

Toyota Philippines just had their base unit diesel powerplant 4x4 released just recently but it has manual crank windows and probably a 1-DIN head unit. It does look like a UN Peacekeeping service vehicle.

I honestly wish that the Hilux and Isuzu D-MAX were available here in the states, cause me and my father have our own landscaping service and having one of those trucks would be pretty nice and it would fit really perfectly with the work we usually do but unfortunately those trucks aren't available here so we gotta work with what we got

the new tundra has one of the biggest back seat room I've ever seen. three big dudes could comfortably fit. more of a family vehicle

Hi! Good job. By the way, what is the Model number for the 2016 Toyota Hilux Workmate 4x4? Thank you.

I have a 2016 Hilux Prerunner (2WD high rider) 2.4 automatic here in Thailand. I am led to understand in the specs that the manual has less torque (343NM) as opposed to 400NM in the automatic, and looking through other vehicles specs, they are the same.

They've should have put that 2.4 litre diesel engine on the Fortuner alongside the standard 2.8 litre diesel engine and just make it reserved for the 4x2 versions such as the GX, GXL, and Crusade.

can you do an mitubishi triton on that version too?

Ah, The Mujahideen Special :)

Honestly, i prefer this over the sr5 if you give me one with diff locks. You really don't need fancy accessories, and i prefer the black plastic materials than chromed ones. Give it an all terrain tire and you can go wherever you want. For the wobbly tub, put a bean bag made of tire interior stuffed with sand and you got a steady ride on the hiway.

I would like it better if it had no touch screen and if it had manual windows
