Fuel consumption over 12ltr/100kms, Automatic gearbox (artificial intelligent) has overcomplicated itself. Without a Toyota reset these vehicles don't go into 6th gear within the legal speed limit. They admit this is a large contribution to the high fuel consumption, but don't want to release it to the media.

Gonna keep this short and sweet. Terrible fuel economy. The cruise control system is garbage and interior/speakers/ just the little things are lacking. Had a Mazda BT-50 XTR before this I’ll never buy another Hilux can’t wait to get rid of it.

Our 3rd Hilux after 2 x 2007 models.
Have had no issues whatsoever, we run a regional electrical contracting company so vehicles carry plenty of weight. Fuel consumption isn’t great, but nothing with ladders on roof and bullbars/spotlights is.
Feels stronger in the chassis and driveline than previous model. Have done 80,000km in the past year now and it hasn’t skipped a beat.
Only downside is seats aren’t as comfy or shaped/positioned as well as previous model.

Tailshaft faulty. Thump when stopping and starting. Royal Run around from Toyota. Toyota reliability??? What’s that

Steering wheel not staying straight seems to move slightly depending on which direction you turn.

Done 55k,serviced on time by myself,never had any problems. I drive my hilux every day, usually 10 kms to work and back,no dpf issues ever. In saying that i do use the correct dpf oil at services and have minimal idle times. Have never had any driveline clunking i have read about either.I see people believe theres a fuel gauge problem, because they can only get 60 liters in the tank once the low fuel light is on.Isn't this simply a early warning system meaning fuel level is getting low and it will need filling in the next 100 200 kms?Unlike my previous new ute which had many problems from the first month i owned it until i traded it with auto trans problems at 90k, this hilux was cheaper to buy and much more reliable than the ranger

I purchased a 2017 hilux SR with automatic transmission. Bought this vehicle brand new. It is used as a farm vehicle and on the open highway. Have had all its services done on time at the dealership. I am relatively happy with it. I have done 40k now and have had no mechanical issues with it. From new it has had a higher fuel usage than I expected. Around
13L/100km. Can get around 11.7 on a long run with no load. I have complained to the dealer about it. Their computer says there's nothing wrong with it.
On the highway when doing 110km/h it mostly stays in 5th gear. Only changes to 6th gear going downhill. Seems like the motor is under powered. If I can get the high fuel usage problem solved I would rate it 5 stars.

Toyota “genuine service” have failed to stop the break squeal after 4 attempts.

For the last 32,000kms my fully optioned diesel auto sr5 with “leatherette” interior has sounded like a squealing 50 year old “sh$tbox”.

RRP on this car with my Toyota genuine upgrades was $80k (I didn’t pay $80k)

Terrible experience.

Feel like I bought an 80’s hilux rust bucket that’s been running beach tours for 30 years

Caveat emptor!

This new ute is gutless, thirsty and poorly designed. It has caused me endless back problems as a taller person getting in and out, and has caused back problems in a shorter workmate. Poor seats, poorly timed gear changes with the automatic, detuned to 30hp less than the previous model, serious lack of fuel efficiency (13.1l/100k) and a lack of towing power make me enjoy my 99 hilux so much more. Especially when its 3l non turbo motor left this new ute for dead on a motorway on ramp... save yourself the trouble and buy something else...

The performance of our Toyota HiLux has been absolutely amazing- we had so many issues with our (Brand new, off the lot) Jeep that we left the brand to buy a Toyota. The Eco mode can be used almost all the time, except for serious off-roading, which the truck has handled incredibly well. It has been our most reliable car yet- no maintenance issues at all and the gas mileage for a truck is really good.

This Hilux is magnificent, traded the Hilux 2014, got the 2017 SR+, more refined vehicle, excellent fuel economy currently getting 9.8 per 100 and I have only travelled 1200km, so more than happy with that. Unfortunately its fitted with DPF but so are all the brands now after Sept 2016, something we all have to get used to and know what is required, its the euro 5 requirements unfortunately. However when vehicles come out of warranty and the DPF is buggered, the cost of these things are off the planet, so something has to be done with that, in saying that, if the DPF is buggered, remember its a symptom of another problem that has caused it to go !

2017 SR Dual Cab Tray Back 4 x 4 Diesel, so far 3000 kms, I have driven plenty of 2008's to 2014's.
Pathetic fuel tank size
Harsh auto transmission and confused changes
no E xtra 12 v plugs
Pathetic rear springs
Very average ride, ok on the highway
Fuel averaging 13.4l/ 100!!! In this day and age ? Auto and engine make real hard work of towing

Had the pleasure of towing a camper to Dalhousie in the vey wet with a 2.2 lt Amarok Deisel, 2014. - drive one of these before you think of a hilux new they are twice the ute in many ways

I have never had a Hilux before. My other weekly drive is a V8 Troopy. Hilux drives great, cold air, traction control excellent, power button VERY effective. Unlike others I like the gear down auto that brings revs up on descents. Saves the brakes, which are very good. Getting around 9.5l/100 in normal driving, mix of loaded and unloaded, down to 7.9 for unladen cruising like a nanna. Worst 14.5 fully loaded towing a tandem with 1500kg in it. Don't like the 4WD dial and after years of lever action low range it takes some getting used to. Radio aerial is not very effective. Very reliable so far (20,000) and even getting reasonable wear out of the tyres, but have Coopers ready to go on.

Brought my sr dual cab hilux this year, absolutely love it! Motor goes really well, pulls my tandom trailer without any dramas, ride is excellent, very quiet inside. I test drove lots of other brands but toyota wins hands down. I drive this ute every day with all my tools etc and it continues to impress me. Onya toyota!

Worst driving experience. Dual Cab SR 2.8L diesel with auto transmission. This car just doesn't go. Makes a lot of noise but very little throttle response. Steering quite dead, but sits on road ok. Not as much room inside as you expect. Rear seats bases fold up but this doesn't really provide much storage benefit. How does Toyota get away with so much popularity for such a lousy drive?
