Only way that Toyota can compete with the Ranger Raptor EcoBoost head-to-head is if they install the 3.5 TT petrol V6 from the LC300 and nibble some off-road tech from that model and stuff like the new Tacoma TRD Pro. Add to the fact that a GR Hilux needs a coil spring conversion as well, which can only be achieved through the usage of TNGA-F platform. There is no way they can do both of those on the old IMV platform. However, if Ford only offers the watered-down Ranger Raptor with the 2.0 bi-turbo diesel and no Fox Live Valve and front locker in certain markets like mine, this Hilux GR-S is a close competitor.

Chose this GR sport over old box vw Amarok, new box not coming to the caribbean, Nissan Frontier, and Dmax was just not available. Offroad capability was a priority, and this is a tad better than the others with amenities such as keyless entry, button start, large infotainment (not available in old box amarok). The interior more to my liking than the Frontier. On road handling is very sporty, thanks to the wider track and tweaked suspension. Our version has red details on the dashboard, and on the seats for a youthful touch. It also comes with an aerodynamically enhancing spoiler and marine canvas truck cover. Getting about 9.5 l/100km on mixed driving and prudent driving.

The raptor is borderline useless, designed for off road racing (dirt tracks and potholes) and not off-road adventures, It is a Ute but the fuel economy is half of a diesel. Try towing something and you will be stopping at EVERY petrol station on the way. If you think you can put that power down on the road... You're delusional and WILL roll over at the first corner you take at speed. The cops have rolled their rangers and those are not even raptors. point: 0-100 means nothing except when your pulling out into traffic but normal people wait for a gap.

The first comments should be the fact that it is not 2020 ancap tested like others in this vehicle standard. Toyota profit over setting benchmark safety standards rushed Hilux in a 2019 test so they didn’t need to meet 2020 testing.

I love how all of the Hilux fanboys trashed Volkswagen for coming out with the Walkinshaw Amarok for being outdated and overpriced, now Toyota have done exactly that, created an overpriced and outdated Ute for rich tradies Before all the Hilux fanboys come at me to say “BuT tHe AmArOk Is UnReLiAbLe”, my dad’s W580 has racked up almost 50,000 km in 18 months and hasn’t had a problem. Before that, he had a 2014 Amarok (which was passed down to me) and had 236,000 km with minimal problems (I’ve since sold that car to get a commodore)

the radar seems quite distracting style wise. they need to do a better job blending it in.

do you change the Tyre pressure for the off road tests ?

Love your reviews mate, but you should add a tow test to your reviews especially for the dual cab utes

Why doesn't it have a front and centre diff lock like Prados?
@hotshotsunnyz4 ай бұрын
Centre diff lock is not there because it's not an AWD like prado. Nevertheless when you engage 4H, it does exactly what a centre diff lock meant to do, that is, locking both front and rear axles.

Great review thank you, Paul. Any ideas how it would handle a slide on camper 500-600kg's ?

The only thing raptor marching is it surpasses power output of the mk3 raptor. That's pretty much it

I don't live in Australia, but I do live where the Hilux is available (not that watered-down Tacoma model in the USDM.) I am planning of getting one, hopefully by the end of this year.

Im sorry but I hate the badge on the front being letters and not the Toyota symbol. Just looks really off-putting

Looks like they haven't fixed the front traction control turning off when the rear locker is in? If they have, please correct me. This is one of the few issues I had when looking at Ranger vs Hilux. It makes a dramatic difference when the going gets harder... Otherwise, the traction control on looks to still be significantly better than the Ranger...

The reason they keep it to low range on the diff is because if you are in high range your tires are going to spin faster when in air but the problem with that is when your rear wheels do touch the ground with the tires spinning at that speed and it suddenly stops it will break the diff wich is expensive to replace so inorder to try and prevent that they only keep it in low range seeing as it wil spin slower in the air

when you lock the diff no tire will be spinning
