People expect leather, I have one and don’t mind the plastic, it’s a Ute for work so the plastic takes go wear and easy to clean

@@stephenrice2419 considering my partners hilux has more interior plastic than this says something too 😂

Hahaha exactly Rangers Hilux Isuzu all plastic

it's mostly that it's cheap plastic, not the nicer plastics that you'll find elsewhere. don't get why it's a big deal when it's a ute, and that plastic will be better off after being used as a ute. oh, wait; it's being used as a people mover / softroad SUV, because why wouldn't you get an LDV D90 (just as an example) that will do better for said purpose.

time will tell

Usually will rust over time . Not my first choice of vehicle to be driving on QLD beaches . But fine for a work truck.

Just like post-authoritarian South Korean 90s made Daewoos and Hyundais befell by paint discolouration and then rust already hurt reliability and resale value.

Did yours rust ?

you are smoking some good meth if your knocking resale.

@@ILLUSIVE_JP not as high as these flat earthers or anti vaxxers though, just giving a brand that australian standards has approved in the market.

@@justinosorio1018 Anti Vax lol remind us how Astra Zeneca is doing

Yep...I noticed that too. It doesn't have Android Auto😲

I agree the NZ maxus i saw looked amazing, why wouldnt you do it in AUS?

I just don’t see where your coming from on resale value. It holds up as good as anything else. Considering how cheap the the vehicle is new, I haven’t seen any second hand bargains and it’s been our for four years now.

@@goldfools5445 In a hugely competitive market, the LDV is often overlooked with the big manufacturers with a strong and proven history. The only competitive front the LDV has is its price, and I along with others can't justify it for that one benefit. Toyota's will always hold value, as will the Ford ranger, the ldv however has been prone to rust issues, bad warranty claims and its lack of length of service should have people concerned with how this model will fair in the future. You may have got lucky with yours, but I know of someone that had taken theirs back 4 times in 6 months!

@@danjones2913 I get these rust issues, and how some people are constantly having problems. Maybe the quality control isn’t quite as good when it comes to consistency. In the real world though I see these complaints on all forums of all brands. Check out DMAX, Ranger, Navara problems. I put a lot of it down to user error or user high expectations. How many people do you see driving through the surf then wondering why the car is having issues. Or driving in 4h on the road, believe me this does happen. For LDV t60 owners it’s probably their first 4wd even there first new car. If someone buys a $70,000 Ute you can bet they are coming from older 4wds that they have had years of experience with. If you look at the big picture instead of selective pockets you will find most people don’t have trouble or rust in any 4wd. If people use their car for extreme 4wdriving then get the right tool for the job. A T60 probably isn’t it. That saying even modified 79s can still break and break badly. It’s Ozito v Dewalt pick the tool for the job. Pay more get better or pay less and have money left over for other things. If Ozito will do everything you want why pay more.

@@goldfools5445 fair point, I mean even a new 79 series has its rear track issue which makes no sense to me whatsoever and the 200 with its dusting issues with the air box. If things are taken care of they will last, and knoedge is power when it comes to knowing the weaknesses of a vehicle and keeping an eye out for the related issues.

@@danjones2913 It’s mind blowing that you expect a car that has literally been on the Aussie market for less than 5 years to somehow be able to equally compete with veterans like Ford. SMH, these older brand already have a lot more fan base, and naturally, will have people more attracted to it. Like, what sort of drugs are you actually smoking?

Chinas car manufacturers don't deserve a thing. Its the customers who deserve a quality vehicle , along with great service and support. Unfortunately for Chinese companies they do not understand quality or customer service.

There were plenty people with the same sentiment as yours towards south Korea and japan before that. time proved them wrong.

Too

My 2019 Hilux is full of rust. Only cost 65k lol...

Most cars will when parked near salt water? Doesn’t matter the brand.

What happened to yours?

@@loving_dad_explorer I work for LDV and there's a reason there 10k less the build quality and motor build quality just isn't there Also there's not rust protection Coteing and me

So you’re logic is you rather pay an extra $30K so you save $10K when you sell the vehicle?

@@nathannaderi8633 no my logic is I would rather pay extra 30k and have it hold its resale value all while it being a better quality car all around and have parts when I need them especially in the middle of nowhere outback. You name how many parts places or car shops would hold spare parts for ldv in the outback while Toyota's on the other hand you throw a rock and where it lands you will find parts. Try sell an ldv for anything more than 10k in 5 years time if it doesn't fall apart in that time or rust to pieces where as Toyota hilux will sell for at least triple that. On top of that I would rather not support a car manufacturer who is mostly owned by the ccp that is bent on ruining our economy

@@LVNITUPM8 the way Hilux have been going the last few years, you need all those parts as well.

@@kennethprocak5176 yeah but at least they are available all over the place

@@LVNITUPM8 Where are these 10k trucks u speak of
