Toyota HiLux MK7.III (2011-2015) Questions & Answers (page 4 of 4)

Hello Bora. I would say that it probably would but to be on the safe side I would suggest you call either Toyota Service dept &/or your local wreckers as they should be able to give you an informed, definitive answer.

Check that there isn't a mouse under there. :-)

It depends where the squeaking noise is coming from / perhaps a Toyota Australia workshop or a quality trustworthy honest and reliable braking specialist shop might be able to help you further on the problem.

If it's actually on the brake pedal itself it could be the hinge / you could try putting lubricant on it though that would probably be just a temporary fix / perhaps you could get a Toyota Australia workshop or a quality trustworthy honest and reliable mechanical shop to change the pedal setup.

I think you will find it's the seal because a few people have had a problem with the seals leaking on various models of the Hilux.
You will just have to take it into Toyota and get them to check it out but ask them to let you know if it's not just the seal (which will be cheap to fix). If it's a major problem you will want to get a few quotes on the repair job before proceeding... it pays to shop around.

Hope this helps. :)

You could also try taking the vehicle to a quality trustworthy honest and reliable mechanical shop if you like to fix the problem as well

I have no idea however I would suggest you contact your nearest Toyota Service department directly and they will be able to tell you.

I suggest you take the utility vehicle to a quality trustworthy honest and reliable transmission specialist to fix that problem

You could try contacting Toyota Australia spare parts or their headquarters or try typing the question into the google Australia search engine on the internet

We have a single cab Hilux SR turbo which we get about 650km per tank and yes anything of size attached to the vehicle, including a canopy, creates wind drag and will therefore cause the engine to use more fuel because it has to work harder.
How much more fuel it will use will totally depend on what speed you drive at and on the design of the canopy. I would suggest going for a really good canopy which is aerodynamically designed because with the ridiculous price of fuel today you should recoup the extra outlay for a good quality, well designed canopy rather quickly.
I am not sure about the dual cabs however for what it's worth we are totally wrapped with our new Hilux for the fuel economy, comfort, style and performance. :)

Hi Gerhard. I am by no means an expert however I do know that these newer model cars can be very touchy when it comes to jump starting because of all the electrics in them and if you had the leads around the wrong way, this would only compound the risk.
I would suggest you spend the money and take it to a Toyota Repairer however when you get there, insist on speaking to the head mechanic or the manager of the shop so you don't get fobbed off to some apprentice who won't be able to solve your problem.
Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply. I will try this option and hope for the best outcome.

In future never jump start a car / you could have damaged the onboard computer @ you could also try taking the vehicle to a quality trustworthy honest and reliable auto electrician shop.

Or you might just need a new battery / try Marshall or key batteries @ they both are superior great batteries.

been researching both vehicles also... everyone i know with a hilux... loves them... my mechanic loves them and all the tradies i deal with love them... the triton seems like a good car, the tradies i know that own tritons want to upgrade to hilux next time round, only because there are way to many rattles etc with the triton, then again some love them over the hilux... i was a previous Musso and navara owner that just bought a hilux... please let me know which direction you went to and give me some pro's and cons

Caveman, as an ex fulltime carpenter myself with two big sons aged 12 & 10, i feel qualified enough to help you answer this wee question. I own an SR5 HILUX dual cab '08 module, and believe me its nothing short of 'Awesome', for practicality comfort and plenty of onboard space for stuff, you've gotta give yourself a go at one for a test drive. I've also got an 08 Patrol wagon which seats 7 and is great for long halls and off road, but they're thirsty beasties, and are doggy in low gears around town. The Hilux on the other hand is the perfect all-rounder, rangy gearbox awesome top end speed for the motorways, and responsive around town, they style up well with a set of powder coat ARB bullys, and a set of Mickey Thompson A.T tyres, then you'll be ready for a lot more than the average cars can provide! lol Good luck making your choice, just have it checked over prior to purchase and you'll be good to go bro.

Wow / 300000 kilometres on it / I suggest you take it in for a service as soon as possible at all Toyota Australia workshop or a quality trustworthy honest and reliable mechanical shop

I have a Hilux that year and model. Had it from new. All services done on time at the dealership. Done 365k. Motor still runs fine. Replaced clutch twice. Front drive shafts to wheels replaced 30k ago. Can't think of any other issues

Hi, We are in the Courier Industry here but in the Office Environment now. The VW Transporter is a very nice wagon, and drives like a dream, Very Powerful, It has a larger Volume area for freight than a Hiace Equivalent and has a longer time between Services, which can be a cost saving, They drive like an Airplane (but on the ground) Very smooth, watch your speed in these, i went way over 140 kph without realizing it, We were going to buy one instead of the Hiace but went for the Hilux with Dual Cab and Canopy on the Back as a compromise between a van and a car, If you want a Van and have a lot of gear to move around, go for the Transporter, Make sure its the Big Engine one with Turbo and 6 speed if available,don't bother with the autos, you don't have the feel of control compared to the manual (its up to you of course) you can get dual turbo but its way dearer, You will be pleased with it.The Hilux is great if you want the Car feel with Option to go 4x4...Hope that helps

It sounds like you need to take the vehicle to a quality trustworthy honest and reliable transmission specialist and a auto electrician shop

have an 06 hilux dual cab and it fits a baby seat on both pass and driver sides

just noisy/rattly on cold startup, but no dramas at all

My son inlaw has a 2007 hilux he found out the hard way that the injectors need new seals every 40,000. If they aren't changed it is possible they will split and release to much deisel into the bore and melt the top of the piston which happened to his. Now hi is up for a new motor. Has any one else had this problem? From KD.

no 06 hilux done 140000 no engine probs at all.

Hi if it only has five seat belts it can only carry 5 people think about the seat belt laws

Yes my one is 4 cylinder i think 3 L turbo diesel 2006

I have a 2006 sr has power windows but not cruise or mirrors (base model)

Yes I have one and I have baby seats in it.
The back seat does not fold down it is a real pain instead you have to thread the strap down the back of the seat and lift the bottom seat up so you can fit your hand in under neath and clip the strap to the anchor.

Is there an anchor on the sides or just in the middle?

just the sides

I have a diesel and its about 11.5 per 100km. Its the same engine as the Prado. I don't know if the petrol engine is the same as prado but 2 blokes I spoke to with petrol prado, towing modest caravans, were getting 27Litres petrol 100 km. That's major thirst! ( my diesel 4x4 auto Hilux goes out to 13-14 with the van on. If you intend going bush with the petrol dry grass on the petrol exhust can create a fire that will burn you out of a ride home.

The read out on the dash of my 2010 4ltr petrol dual cab manual reads 8.9 ltrs per 100km with about 150kgs of gear permanently in the tray and I don't spare the horses. Way cheaper to fix than the diesel when their injectors etc muck up. This thing doesn't miss a beat, no complaints from the misses about the smell of the diesel & no worries about her topping it up with unleaded.

What you save on fuel with the D4D you will more than loose with maintaining the fuel injection system, I don't have a petrol hilux but I wouldn't recommend buying the diesel, do a google search for hilux D4d cold start rattle and you will see what I mean

The official rate that's listed on the net is 11.5L per 100km - But I tend to get closer to 10.5/11L per 100km, depending on how responsible I drive!
