Very true, Toyota didn't get the brand trust for no reason

Bought a Hilux recently. It has most of the modern bells and whistles. Keyless entry, push button start, 9 inch infotainment screen, wireless android and carplay. New to hilux; disc brakes on the rear, wider track front and back to improve high speed twisted handling and rockcrawling. What cant be seen that is a constant, is superb construction, a thicker grade steel used throughout, d u r a b i l i t y!! Another constant: a simple yet reliable and best in class 4x4 system. You think the hilux is old, I cant understand there is a still a viable market for older, with old technology, toyota series like the 70!! Some people value reliability and simplicity over everything else. They may be boring, but live very peaceful lives!!

The best Ute in the world is Hilux

I agree with you James, up the Lux !

Why does Toyota sell? Durability, reliability, resale value, Superior engineering, Support network, high quality, high-value car. At least you know you'll get home no matter where you go.

I think a major issue that is holding back the release is that fact that the current Hilux is still selling in record numbers. Just look at data rom Feb 2024 sales increased 11.8% from Feb 2023.

Yes they would be holding off for sure if they are still selling !

New models always have teething problems. Give me a well tested and trusted machine. I need tough and reliable. Not fancy.

I recently drove a ranger, amarok and a Gr Sport Hilux and bought the Hilux. My bet is you an expert on vehicles you have never even driven. Such a weak basis for content and a wast of everyone's time.

I prefer the current model, it’s narrow the new one model likely to be wider puffed up body. I think most tradies will switch to 79 with the 2.8.

They might go a big bigger yeah, could be tough on the tighter trails if you do some proper 4x4'ing in it

Sr5 Hilux sales could still out do puffed up body of 2024 Hilux that won’t fit between the trees

Also note the govt is looking at passing a new Ute tax so all new Utes maybe more expensive and pay additional ongoing higher rego fees etc.

That is a solid point

This is how Toyota has always done it for the past 30years…10 year cycle & the first generation of the last 3 Lux have had issues the last of this generation will be fine without any problems.

It might be a 10 year old car but what is has over a new one is R&D and time to improve and fix bugs and refine pieces of the car that were broken or aren’t preforming properly This isn’t a pro Toyota thing but look at all cars the first few years of a new platform are normally the worst ones Saying that 10 years is a long time and need a new entire platform come on Toyota make a new Ute at some point

That's a good point, they did have some turbo problems at the start. The first to jump on the new platform might be the testers

Nope. Here in malaysia we still experience issues with our newly purchase hilux. So much so with the reliability of toyota?

ngl i think the 2025 hilux looks really good, its a bit of a mix of the 2018 and the 2023 grill wise

I had to buy the current Hilux but man the next gen will probably somehow look like the new Tacoma because they will use the same TNGA Platfrom.

It was nice as, one thing that was new to me was how strong the lane assist was against the inside line. It was on all the time too, not just on freeways. It doesn't stop you from turning or anything but these days cars try and hold your hand so much. It would be just a press of a button to turn it off each drive. Also, the dmax just had their first update since this new model was launched this year I believe, always nice timing to get the newest look / tech tweaks@@lagouthappydays1117
