Would love to see a more conservative build for the regular guy. Bullbar, raised air intake, 2” lift and some 33” a/t tires. Nothing crazy like a big ass canopy from patriot campers or a complete slide up kitchen with running water. Keep it simple like most people do instead off making it a rolling showroom of expensive stuff.

Hi Ronny. Could you do a few offroad tracks with your new hilux standard and then again when modified to see what difference the mods make. Great show mate. Keep it up. Cheers

As a 2007 Hilux owner ,loved all the videos you ever made now you just pushed the bar higher, can't wait to see the progress!

That’s why I trust you bro and thousands of people around the world because you honestly in your videos no bs god bless you and the channel ronhy cheers from tampa usa

Ronny, I like your new choice. In Europe we dont get your V8 ute so this new one is more “international” and I cant wait to see modifications that are coming. Keep it up! 💪💪💪

I love the plan for reasonable mods and reality for most of us that 4wd.

Congratulations Ronny im from Egypt and this vehicule is a star here Im so happy for you and excited to see you will upgrade it Stay safe, and enjoy it to the max

Very nice Ronnie. Yours is one of the best 4wd channels on KZfaq. Thank you.

That's an excellent choice I've had three hiluxs now iv'e a 2014 sr5 dual cab tows my 6mtr boat goes of road like a dream comfortable can't fault it. Great work Ronny keep it up

Fantastic man, that’s a cracking looking truck. I’m simply looking forward to watching a build from start to finish. However seeing what a stock truck can/will do will be awesome as well 🤘

Keep it stock and send it everywhere. See how far you get on the trails

Picking up an Fj in Texas and stumbled on to your old video interviewing somebody with an Fj. I’ve been enjoying your content, it’s entertaining, straight forward and informative. I’m looking forward to catching up on your journey with your new truck! Keep it up duder!

Hey Ronny. Good choice. Iike alot of other comments, I would like to see this build kept to a realistic budget. Some many people who have a channel like your self do builds that are very cool but not what the average guy can try to do with there own vehicle. It would be great to see a "real" build and just see how capable a 4x4 can be with only the must have upgrades. Looking forward to watching this one!

Hey Ronny, I just bought a 4Runner sr5 same color, I feel like it’s one big happy family 😁

Congratulations. May this addition to your family finds you new adventures and lots of happiness.

Hey Ronny, amazing video! Glad you like the new Hilux. From all the hard work and amount of content you've put out over the years, it's great to see that you have rewarded yourself with a smart investment that will benefit you and your channel for years to come. Hope you enjoy it and teach us all new things about IFS vehicles!

Yes Mate, it would be nice to see a more “budget build” effort to show that you don’t need the Andrew White excesses, and you’ll actually leave the tracks and do some proper exploring too!

Neoprene seat covers / 3D floor mats /Provent 200 catch can / fuel manager secondary filter / weather shields / snorkel / bullbar / rear bar / Toyo R/Ts / outback armour lift kit 2inch

It is amazing how far you can take a New vehicle with nothing more than a set of new tires. Stock and honest, that will be a refreshing change. Great to see one of the big channels catering to the majority of the audience. Hope it pays off with subs and views.

You just went up a notch in my book mate. Look forward to the journey.

Congrats on the truck. I love the idea of the "average joe" build. I'm very interested in the suspension with the ifs and the capability of the truck after you upgrade it. Very jealous all of the other countries that get diesel options for the same cars in the states. Excited to watch the progress.

Congratulations my man. I want to get one of these in the Philippines so I'm looking forward to the review.

Ronny, your the best and watching you over the the years, The Honest and I love the way you do your Vids, With the trips and Cook Outs, Setting up camp, So it gives us Normal Blokes Ideals and Aspirations,. I am in England and have a Disco 3, Yeah I Know, haha but you give me and Others so many Ideals to live our lives. You help us from light camping to touring the world. Keep it up Ron.

Super keen on this new thread Ronny, excited to watch the journey ahead!

I'd love to see an aussie build like using local aussie companies for things. Things like a bullbar, scrub bars and sliders all locally built not the usual catalogue build where people go to arb or tjm and just throw everything on the catalogue at it

Honestly instead of upgrading it straight away, take your own advice and keep it stock for a while till you find out what you actually need to make it a more capable 4wd. Nice choice btw, my uncle got a 2020 hilux and he loves it to bits

Congratulations! I am currently modifying my 19.75 PX 3 Ranger. So very keen to see what you do . Keep up the good work !

All the best mate with your new offroader. Happy to see you sharing your love and passion in a right manner. Would love to see your modification. And yes it's a beautiful choice . Toyota has proven its quality and practically in every country with they vehicles. The same engine is on the Toyota Innova MUV here too. Very reliable and torque filled engine

Hey Ronny, I’d love to see basic set ups for weekend camping / small trip’s and necessary mods like you said that can be justified not just because you can.

Great choice. I recently bought the 2019 version and love it. Put on an Aeroklas canopy and tub liner, then took it on the beach in the stock tyres (deflated of course) and it didn't miss a beat, even in the soft stuff. Glad they put in Apple car play/Android Auto in the 2020, but it's not wireless unlike the competitors. The power in the 2019 whilst not quite as much as your 2020 is still pretty sweet, especially compared to my 20 year old Prado which it replaced. Enjoy. Looking forward to the mods update as I too am looking at how to improve what I currently have without breaking the bank account needlessly for general touring and some moderate off-road.

Love your honesty with this vid Ronny! Look forward to your vids taking it off road mate

Hey Ronny, congrats man and welcome back to the fold. I recently bought my "new" - 2017 - Hilux and am stoked to see it is going to be a test and build process with you. I was lucky and had an owner that really looked after it and set it up well. Canopy on the back, GVM upgrade, front bar, lights etc etc. BUT there is more to be done over time as there always is with vehicles we love and want to do more with. I am very psyched to see what you do with this test and build series too. I was really disappointed to learn that another channel I love watching 4WD trips, tips and advice from was basically just pushing the cheapest crap on the market because they are sponsored to do so. You have NO IDEA how glad I was to hear your comments about it being YOUR vehicle and showing us everything good and bad. I still like the other channel, which I won't name because the influencers on it are still good peeps at heart (at least that's what I choose to believe). So bring it on mate and let's see what works and what doesn't.

Harrop front e locker as I’ve done 32.2 inch cooper Tyers dobinson suspension Tjm signature alloy bull bar powder coated black, tmax winch, Lone Ranger 127 litre tank is a weapon

Nothing like the smell of a new truck in the morning!!

Just getting into my Hulu’s set up and can’t wait to see where u go with this going the same way do it right the first time and needs to be spot on first time . This is actually great to see hope u keep the tub because I’m sick of seeing norweld and alike canopies stuck on extension chassis to drive down a few dirt roads . Ronny is bringing back the next thing we all want to see

Super Ronny liked ur video and simplicity u show in every video !! Keep the guud wrk onn

"Oh what a feeling!" Toyota. Haven't seen that for years! @0:09 Congrats! Wish they sell Hilux in the States.

I upgraded to the 2019 Hilux Invincible X (UK Model), previously had a 2001 MK4 Hilux that I used daily and took up to 418,000kms. The reason I had to change was emissions, my work sometimes takes me to the big cities, and London was £100 (AUS$182) per day to enter in my old one! Manchester starts charging in the next couple of years too. Although a totally different beast in comparison, when the going gets tough it still has the confidence inspiring feel of my old Hilux, my main test so far has been a day in the ice and snow a week after getting it! My first mod were some Aussie Black Duck Canvas Seat covers - which my sister kindly shipped out of WA just before Covid Restrictions hit the UK.

Awesome, cant wait to see this build unfold, love my Luxs

Firstly, this is a fantastic step to improving and adding to the channel and your business, well done. I have learnt so much real, unbiased advice from this channel and there is so much helpful content coming from this next journey. My only question is will you be featuring your 70 series on trips anymore?

I have 16" wheels on my FJ Cruiser. Harder to find but they are out there!! Love the truck!!!!

"BALLOON PAYMENT" for the number plate would help contribute to audience appeal 😆. Car looks mad though.

I'm excited for you Ronny, congrats on your new beast :) and yes..... you should keep this one as LIGHT as possible!!! Cheers, Don (Dons Shed and Xplor Overland)

Congrats on the new car Ronny! I look forward to seeing what you do to it. I have a plastic tub liner in my ute, wishing I had have gone the spray in bed liner instead. Gives you more space and you can see where things are when you want to drill into it. I have stuck with a tonneau cover, no regrets on that.

Congrats on the new ride. I have a 2020 Hilux and am still debating what to upgrade first for off road purposes. I will definitely love seeing which route you take on your upgrades. But I would like to see how capable off road this Hilux is before any damage can be done.

Hey, first of all congrats on a new truck. As for the content - this is the perfect chance to make a comparison video of stock vs modified, but with a difference. Why not find a reasonably difficult track, that would be almost on the limits of what a stock Hilux can manage, to use it (track) as a "controlled" one - drive the car stock. And then repeat the drive after each new modification just to see what mod actually makes what difference to performance?..

Hi Ronny, Congratulations !! Its marvelous. We have a persian proverb in Iran, says : “I hope the wheels run a long time for you.” Waiting to see more from your new offroader. Amir

Hey Ronnie glad to see your good choice I had the same look on my face driving my new SR5 out of the dealership a couple of months ago I ripped off them sidesteps and was lucky enough that my neighbour “Blue” helped me fabricate and install rock sliders it was cheap and effective

you'll never see that bloke at toyota in the bush 🤣🤣

Nothing more satisfying than watching a stock forby mud crawl and rock climb.

No words to describe this beast,completely perfect

Uhhhh I Love the plans for the Hilux....... It's great that you are going to orient all the modifications for the regular people that own a 4WD....... Can't wait for the videos.... Greetings from Argentina.... we also are in love of the Hilux... most sold UTE in the Country.....

"Feel like I'm cheating on my 70, hope she doesn't find out" haha gold!

*See the capabilities of the Hilux stock and slowly add upgrades and compare the differences*

I'm happy too the fact you have managed to have this beautiful baby beast ❤

Nice choice, I really like the new Hilux's, if they still had the mighty 1GR under the hood I'd happily upgrade to one. Love the idea behind the build too, just upgrading as you find the need to do it, you get to know the vehicle so much better that way than you would by signing away your savings at the accessories store before you've even been anywhere.

The front of this really reminds me of the Ranger 🙃 Anyway, congrats on the new ride, I can tell you're excited about it. I'm looking forward to seeing the mods you put on this one 🙂

You lost me at “gets up and moves” and “luxurious”. 🤪🤦🏻‍♂️ Looking forward to the build and the adventures it brings, congrats.

Well done! Looking forward to see what you do with the mods!👌

Nice one Ronny, about time someone does a honest Hilux build on here. I have a 2016 SR5 with a long list of mods, can’t fault her off road... sounds like you’re really feeling the Hi Luxury (Origin’ of the name) the 79. Looking forward to seeing what you put her through 💪🏽💪🏽

You should run the stock lux and your built 79 up the same tracks and see how capable it really is compared to the 79.

I'm a Dmax man but fully understand where your coming from with sticking to the brand you like and trust the most, but I will say the Hilux is my close second choice. Well done mate.

Greetings from SanDiego everyone in SoCal is running their tacomas (states) or hilux (australia) with a 3" lift with fox, Icon, or king suspension with total chaos or a reputable upper control arm. 285-70-17 size tires to start and a snorkel. Cheers love your vids!! Congratulations!!

Big time looking forward to seeing how it will be smartly upgraded. Please keep it up with new content!

Please obey all traffic regulations. That's something I will have to change. Lol!! That cracked me up, a lot.... I still prefer the old facelift... This new Hilux looks more like a Ranger.

You can fit 16” dynamic steely rims on them with a certain offset

this an awesome video man, so happy to watch it, have a great day and keep up the work

Congratulations, Ronny! Nice choice! Looking forward to see the mods and adventures.

Hi Ronny, just mount better tires and do a trip.

Mate I would love to see a series where you really put this vehicle through its paces in stock form. I feel like we are all influenced by manafacutes promotion of products. I know I drove my vehicle for about 18 months with nothing but ATS and had a blast. Like push this thing until you find what parts are letting you down off road upgrade then go again. Even if you made a series of work and play aimed at basic kit outs to suit weekend trips but not inhibit the ability to say pick up the kids or use for tradey tools.

Good luck with new car. Hope it is significantly more reliable than last years model. My friend regrettably bought one and the DPF craps itself regularly oh not what a feeling.

Man, congratulations for your new Toyota Hilux. I have an Toyota Hilux Cargo 2014 and I am very satisfied

Awesome choice great to see someone doing a normal car people buy! I have a Ranger but keen to see what you do to the new Lux. You going to keep the tub?

I just want to see you get out there and show us step by step on what you find you need to upgrade. I would love to see it stay stock and drive rings around heavly moded rigs!

As much as I am stoked for your new vehicle and this vid, looking forward to the build videos :D

Congratulations love the truck . I’m going to follow this built I’m excited for you can’t wait to see the build

Be interested in seeing how the 18's would fare with better tyres.

I really like the idea of this being a ‘regular Joe’ vehicle with gradual buy once, cry once modifications.

I love Hilux. I am still looking forward to have one. Right now I have the old version of it which is LN166 and I really love that one. It is classic and its diesel and is 5 speed manual. Thanks for sharing this video. it really motivates me to one like your. Thank you oce again.

the concept for your new Hilux is brilliant, I can't wait

Your reaction to "Please obey all traffic regulations" had me laughing 😁

Keep it simple Ronny. This is a layman's car, so do layman's modifications.

Catch can, fuel pre-filter, 3 inch exhaust, front mount intercooler Snorkel, GVM upgrade, remove Tub, Tray and slide on camper, Brakes, bull bar, lights and on and on Enjoy Ronny.

Welcome back to the hilux club Ronnie. Awesome to see as someone who bought a new hilux in 2017 and added modifications before I even picked it up.... after 3 years.... do not get a hard lid it massively restricts what you can put into the back tub AND it's a royal pain having to climb in when stuff slides all the way to the back (my boss made that mistake and ended up getting rid of the hard lid and now has an ARB canopy), I still have the tonneau cover but want to change the tub for a custom aluminium tray & removable 1/2 canopy. Toyota plastic tub liner is ok, not great but it's ok for protecting the tub inside, there are better tub liners out there. a MUST get for the hilux... tub tie down points, bonnet gas struts and tail gate gas struts... with an extremely heavy bonnet & tail gate... these should come standard on the SR5 but don't. Out of curiosity... does your hilux come with AC vents in the rear of the center console? and do the rear seats lift up with extra storage underneath?

I bought my 2019 Hilux for the same reason, trust in the brand.

Congrats mate! However that "please obey all traffic laws" is horrendous, i bet turning it off voids warranty too. God i hate new cars with all their crap. I had to rip out all the beeping shit in my SV6, it's more distracting than helpful!

good to see mate! looking forward to seeing more!

Congrats on the purchase Ronny! Hell, I have an F150 in the USA and I'm STILL excited to see you test and build on this thing. Will be interesting to see what you do with an IFS

2 inch lift, 16” steel rims and all terrain tires

Toyota needs to develop a v6 diesel for a higher performance option to Hiluxes and Forutners, or entry-level Land Cruisers as the petrol v6 is offered.

Pretty solid choice ronny. cant go far wrong with it. wheels, tires, lift, bullbar. Its a bad color mate. i like you videos. keep it up. imo you want too keep the thing light as possible. i reckon you should wear the tires out just to review the stock kit.

Awesome, can't wait to see how you build it up.

“Please obey all traffic regulations”

Congrats mate. This is the most sold 4x4 in Pakistan too. Love for lux is impeccable. I would love to see stock Lux against Jimny. Since i own an older version if it SJ410. And im making a budget 4x4 since covid left me unemployed.

Vry justified review bro...can't wait for more n modification...suggestion:bullbar with fogs,snorkels,sidesteps,flares...all da best...

5:46 Aw mint! Never had a lux before 🙌 cheers Ronny 🍻

I was thinking a kangaroo with a saddle, clearly I was wrong.

I'm guessing "fenrir" for the custom plate

Love it! Great to see a channel showcase an "everyman" vehicle with only the absolute minimum of necessary mods. It would be great if the mods also were less conspicuous (white letters facing inwards? Roof bars for antenna and Max traxx rather than full blown rack?) and not shouting "look at me!". Also really great to spend a few months with it stock!

Congrats on the new Ute. Great choice. Iv got a 2018 myself. I’m really looking forward to watching you take it bush stock. They are pretty capable out of the box. I really liked your comment in one of your myth video that you don’t need all the mods to go out and enjoy your self. 4wding has become big over the years and these massive 4wd builds that 4wd companies are doing are impressive but are not realistic a lot of us. It will be great to see the hilux build to a minimum in a few months as you have said.
