The Toyota HiLux is BY FAR Australia's best-selling truck. But WHY?!
The new 2022 Toyota HiLux is the ute that keeps on destroying the sales of the Ford Ranger and Isuzu D-Max... but if it's worse than its competitors in almost everyway, why is the HiLux more popular than ever? Let's talk about that!

Toyota has been trading on their name for years. The interior feels like the 90's with an infotainment system thrown in. Toyota's are reliable because they are over engineered to take whatever you throw at them, but they did have issues with their engine a few years back. I agree with the review, OK, but not great.

Agree 100%. The badge that says Toyota is what wins. Every time. I had an Everest that drove beautifully until it didn't, which turned out to be quite frequently. So, my Fortuner that replaced it has predictably been faultless (other than the DPF which has been fixed and never stopped the car, unlike the adblue problem, amongst others in the ford). The new gen Ranger with V6 is going to be hard to beat, but I don't think I could risk another heart-break...

I pick up my new Tacoma in Canada tomorrow. I find the differences are substantial between Tacoma and Hilux. The Tacoma is our closest model to the Hilux. The SR5 is one of our entry-level trims and has major feature differences. I wish we could get a diesel version, but we get a 3.5L gas instead. Our beds are entirely composite, have track systems, assisted tailgates, and power outlets. We have things like dual zone climate and heated seats standard, etc. It's interesting seeing the differences.

I have an 09 Hilux SR5 manual 4 x 4 diesel dual cab. Owned from new with 187,000 kms. I still love it. Sure it doesn't have all the bells and whistles (see distractions) required by you young folk, but I like to pay attention and don't need a vehicle to do what I'm supposed to be doing, driving. It has the upgraded airbags but no traction control and I'm cool with that. Sure, there are not enough vanity mirrors to check my look or "man?" bun and that tail gate can be soooo heavy at times, but it is what it is. I'm one of those old planet destroying sixty year olds, who have owned the one vehicle for over 12 years and intend to keep it for a few (5 - 10) years more. As for power, its fine. To think my old man use to tow a small caravan with a Mazda 1600 ute, 4 on the column transmission, 4 wheel drum brakes and about 96HP at the crank. Now days its a pissing contest regarding torque figures and infotainment BS. You don't need a dual cab ute, you need a pink Fiat 500.

Toyota decided to produce pickups in North America to avoid the US Chicken tax, a 25% tariff on imported light trucks. That spawned the tacoma in 1995, which is also marketed for what buyers want in America. Everywhere else in the world you get the Hilux, which some argue has greater capabilities

Honestly if you only plan on city or urban driving, then it might be worth the savings. But if you use these utes the way they are meant to be used, i would love to see the condition that they are in after 5 years of hard use. I have driven an older Great Wall pickup and the build quality was awful. You could even see the doors moving up and down on corrugations. Finally, they wont hold their value like a Toyota does, so dont expect any of your investment back. The saying still holds true, you get what you pay for. The new Ranger/VW platform looks promising, though VW service pricing and parts cost is worse than Toyota For rugged/remote work, the 'sheep' still value reliability over nearly anything, plus they will look at a more established name rather than chancing it with a newcomer with little to no reputation for building vehicles up to the task.
