Toyota HiLux

I have a 2014 hilux diesel auto which is always serviced by Toyota service dealer bought it at 30000 now done 144000km .
I also have a 2021 sr5 cruiser purchased new done 30,000km and it is primo . I don't let it idle and Both I drive hard ...thats what they like !!
Some negative reviews where people do not get toyota to service them then you will get problems.
If you drive like a snail you will have a problem with dpf filter clogging or town driving only..... is the same ...all the instructions say when dpf light comes on regeneration in cer...

After owning a 2021 workmate, I decided to upgrade to the 2022 Hilux duel cab 4x4 so I could ferry the family around. I cannot fault this car mechanically, it’s powerful, quiet and returns 8.5lt/100km. The only negatives are the internal finishings scratch way too easily, the rides a bit rough without weight and the turning circle is terrible. All are small trade offs for just how good everything else is! 9.5/10 car for us.

I bought a brand new Hilux 2.7 petrol 2022. I fit a full-size canopy on the back of the tray. I've been able to Only Drive 350 kilometers with one full tank of around 60 liters. I went to Toyota and I said to them your car has faulty but they said because of the canopy your fuel consumption jumped higher. Before I decided to buy this car I check the specification and it said an average of 9.8L to 11.8L per 100 kilometers. The reality was over 16L per 100 kilometers. I sold my car straight away.

Work ute for trady to carry tools and parts from base to work sites. This ute is used 5 days a week traveling aprox 120 kms per day. My company purchased the car in April this year brand new so it has only had its complementary service so far. We will have it serviced as per log book.
The driver noted that the hand brake warning alarm sounds regularly as the zipped fabric cover on the base of the handbrake holds the leaver up a little so it does not disengage the alarm. The gear box is clunky between gears, and the motor very thirsty.

Comparing my current 2021 2.8L Workmate 4x4 manual with the previous 2019 2.4L automatic I had. Auto model had aluminium tray and I never saw less than 12L/100km....14L/100km was the norm. My current Workmate regularly returns 8.4 to 8.9L/100km with the worst being 10.1L/100km. I put the difference down to the manual gearbox and the tub body....oh, and having tyres to 40psi makes a markedly difference in bringing the fuel efficiency towards the 8.4L/100km figure.

Hi all 4x2 work mate owners as a lot know it’s bumpy as it is a work horse, thinking of changing seats putting rav4 or something similar what do people think, and the reason for this is I do long drives and back problems, would like to hear peoples feed back please

I wont bother with the great things that these vehicles provide - 4x4 - drive train etc
What I will say, is the Rogue tag is supposed to be the upper class version of the SR5 - and it falls far short of the mark
Let me qualify that I am NOT using this vehicle for tradie use, Im more of a snob ute owner
The WORST - the roller shutter tub cover - broke down requiring replacement after 6,000 klms. Toyota don't have any replacement components in the country, so they gave me a loose 3-4 month timeframe to repair it., AND they forced me to go out of ...

The SR5 is a very competent ute straight out of the box. The vehicle is 3years old with 50,000 kms with zero issues. I find it quite interesting seeing so many negative reviews here. Some people will never be pleased and that's because they either bought the wrong vehicle, or done modifications, overload, or simply not having any understanding / lack of knowledge or mechanical sympathy. I am talking about people having warped discs pulling an excavator (should've bought an F truck), high fuel consumption ( hey, it's 2t unladen, then you will pu...

I have had to drive a Toyota Hilux ute for approx 3 years in my job and is driven daily. Brakes are very average and the rotors tend to warp very readily. In the wet it is lethal and very tail happy around corners. The performance is OK for a ute but very noisy. The suspension is very rough and has very average ride compliance. Has been reliable in a noisy, hard riding poorly braked ute kind of way. If you are ignorant of modern sedan/ SUV standards of performance, ride and handling you might be quite happy. One eyed Toyota fans in a vacuum of comparative information might like it Yes it is still performing ok with 279,000km on it, I do not like driving it plus it has that cheap plastic Toyota smell.

This is my everyday car and the most loyal relationship Ive ever had. She was bought new in 2002 and has done over 300K doing everything from school runs to beach driving,long distant trips,towing multiple things and off road mud. Not once has she ever let me down. No breakdowns,only replaced the timming belt,water pump and CV joints. 40% nite driving and after 20 years still has the original headlight globes in it. My only issue is it is extremly dangerous in the wet. Even the slightest tap of the throttle will see the wheels spin esp at round...

Purchased this car brand new in 2021. The most obvious let down to me is the cheap plastic that gets scratched! I thought spending $50k on a car would get me a good quality interior but I was very wrong. The car drives ok but the turning circle is really bad. This was supposed to be my dream car but I’m not excited to have it and to have paid $50k cash for it.

I have a 2017 SR5 4x4.
It now has 165,000 kms on the clock and has been trouble free so far. Have been up to date with all services. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because it lacks a little bit of power. I probably should have got a tune early on. That just me being picky though. Other than that it goes great off and on road.

I agree pretty much with what JohnB wrote. Just returned from a trip to Canberra back to the Shoalhaven. Went via the Hume Hwy. This is the first long trip I have done in this car. Very unimpressed with the auto gearbox. The thing has no idea what it’s doing. Fuel consumption woeful. And as for traction, it was raining when we left Nowra and going up the mountain roads was a real experience. Had to be very careful not to loose it on steep grades and hair pin bends. Was actually a bit better coming down.
I’ll just have to learn to live with this car. It is a second car and won’t get a lot of work and won’t be doing a lot of long distance driving. So for that reason I’ll most likely be able to live with it. And also no INTERMITTENT WIPERS!!!

This vehicle is a work car, there was no ability to select anything, except for tow bar, etc.
I got this vehicle new.
Before the end of the first tank of fuel., I saw random failures of every electronic aid, ie Emergency Brake Assist, Lane Change, Anti Lock Brakes system failure, please visit the dealer. etc. Then one day, every system failed. It turned off the car to reset and then kept going. The dealer could find no errors logged and no issues with the car, in other words, they did a software fix and elected not to say anything.

Firstly, ...

This is a warning , Toyota has failed big time with the dpf, I am a long time owner of mostly Toyota because they are the best of the worst , I purchased a 2017 Hilux 2.8 high rider with 150 thou kms from Toyota dealer dpf failed first day I give it back and went back to a 2010 sr5 3ltr d4d just a better car all round it just blows me away
