My dad is still using his 2016 Hilux TRD Sportivo with 170,000 kilometres, reliable asf

Ooh look everybody its a refresh of a refresh of a refresh of a refresh.

Im due for a new ute and ordered my gr sport last week. This ute has most of the extras I would put on a standard hilux already on it. So it just makes sense for me. I like the simplicity on the interior ++ like the rock sliders / steps being small and narrow. Time will tell I guess. Btw I am selling my Isuzu Dteq after 9 years of great service.

Whoever tows in a ute at its limit needs their head checked, just because manufactures put a 3.5ton rating on there doesn't mean the car actually will be able to properly tow that much without struggling like crazy around the smallest of hills and bends

Not only that, people don't understand what GVM and the max 3.5T towing rate means. You can't just go and buy a 3.5t caravan load up the family and tray and go camping. With a 3.5t caravan, you are only allowed a 80KG driver... and that's it. Police need to start cracking down on this. It is so dangerous that people don't even realise.

20mm thick skid plate??? I think your telling a porky lol

Missed opportunity, because what is it trying to be … They say it’s supposed to be a more practical Ranger Raptor, but its total payload is reduced to well under 800 kgs Vs well over 1,000kgs in others - I suspect that’s why it doesn’t get a tub cover because it would make its payload look much worse - so that’s sux if someone needs to set one up for touring. Most journalists say it needs weight in the tub to make it ride better, but it has a small payload, so something is not right there. It also gets the prehistoric 4x4 system that gets wind-up on most off-road situations, so you cannot risk it for safety situations towing a trailer on wet roads. Shame, missed opportunity by Toyota … if they increased its GVM and installed Prado 4x4 or super select system, people could overlook its age. Engine power and torque is acceptable if it’s proven to be reliable. I-Force Max Tacoma/Hilux cannot come soon enough for Toyota Australia!

My hart says.. Yep it looks ok....apart from OTT wheel arch flairs... But nice front end, 3.5 ton tow, its a Hilux. Everyone love em. My Head says.. Toyota totally taking the fucking piss... Comanding 80k for a 10 y/old design with an engine tune, some shocks, and tacky looking flairs. Never has a company done so little..... shit out dated interior, gutless engine, hard ride. No doubt Toyota will sell every one that comes in to the country.

Toyota has been resting on its "reliability" laurels, while not investing much in R&D. They've also been found guilty of falsifing safety records for their smaller cars and still charging a fortune for cars that are using decades old designs. Japanese people have lost faith in the company, but Aussies still buy their stuff, at inflated prices, so they continue to milk the consumer market. Other brands are offering better vehicles which are just as reliable. The argument that there are parts available for them everywhere is kind of silly, the reason there's parts everywhere is because the tech hasn't changed in years, and if they're so reliable, why do you need to have lots of parts available everywhere... Not many people keep vehicles more than seven or eight years, and in most cases they swap cars after five years, so why get a car that lasts forever, if you're going to get rid of it after a few years anyway. The idea that it's an investment for resale means that you have to suffer through years of inferior driving experiences, just to save a few bucks when you trade it in. If you're smart, you'll get a good vehicle that you enjoy driving and then upgrade to another car in a few years and enjoy the driving experience.

Would have to be on meth to buy one of these over a raptor. By the time you do tyres, front locker, and try and get more power out of it your at factory raptor price. And it’s slower, and no coils. And shit shocks. They missed the mark on this one.

It is really a poor mans raptor wanna be. In realty it should be a 2500kg tow limit if you wanted you could always go for a GVM up grade but since the ride is so stiff now by the review I would hate to experience one with a GVM upgrade. If you did put in an upgrade then you are looking at around $5000 so it is getting close to the raptor. This make little if any value an SR5 is well better sorted outside of the better wheel track.

Its a 2016 audi q5 tdi torsen quattro wtih a seven speed dsg, happy now? never been once to the shop other thatn regular maintance, which is pretty cheap too, thanks to vw skoda seat partenrship. Now just because your ford is trouble free, which is great, that doesnt mean its a trouble free model in general. Similar to my audi, genrally speaking, post 2014 dsgs second and gen tdi engines are pretty bulletproof, but thats doesnt mean everyone is gonna have trouble free miles. But since im looking to buy a truck, i do my research, I ve avoided fords in the past, and probably i d still do. Becuase everytime i do my research about the bi turbo, the ten speed auto and the 3.0 ecoboost, i read the same things from many users who have had them for years. They are bad trucks. Most people sell them and get an l200 or a hilux. I dont have to own one to know that. My experience even if a had one with a ranger product, would be insignificant compared to the many other but reviews on the forums. I hope you get what im saying. It would be my good experience against many bad, from actuals owners on forums and well kown tuners like dark side developments, who dont like those engines and gearboxes. And thats the beauty about owners forums, if you have just basic mechanical knowledge, you can read peoples experiences and figure your own and make an informative choise, or avoid a bad one. Now i ve never any toyota ever, but i know many people who had any they had zero problems. I ve had a l200 and that thing doesnt want to brake no matter who hard i ve tried. I have no doupt that the ranger is a more refined, more comfortable, more fun vehicle to drive, and if i had a lots of money and didnt care about actually using a truck for work, the raptor would be the one i d get hands down. Is a toy for grown ups. But if you need a vehicle to be dependant, hilux and l200 are better trucks.
