Smooth & quite to drive,, & the new hilux has beautiful dashboard instruments & lighting,also love the Toyota reliabity & piece of mind on reputation, & fuel efficient, also very strong motor, pulls our family caravan with ease, up steep hills & is such a pleasure to drive.

Very easy to use dash and Audio setup, towing is very good with electric break away brakes. I drive the SR5 Toyota hilux dual cab turbo disel made in 2017 and the color is graphite grey, suitable for any kind of work also family friendly. We drive it on the beach aswell.

With the powerful 2.8 turbo diesel with automatic transmistion my Toyota SR5 Hulix is a pleasure to drive, being a diesel engin it is very fuel efficient, we get about 9.4km per liter, interior is very stylish and modern, my exterior of the car is graphite grey and we think its one of the best looking 4wd duel cabs on the market.

We purchased our toyota hilux sr5 brand new about 6 weeks ago and we can't be happier we drove the car from Melbourne to Byron bay and only fault was the seats the comfort for the top of range is a bit disappointing but this was only thing we can fault with the car. The sr5 was good on fuel The performance was as expected, with the std tyres the noise was very minimal, I would have expected a bit more chunkier tyre as felt the tyres didn't expel water fast enough....for the 6500km we have on the vechile we avg 7.8-8.5L/100km fuel economy and recently towed a 10x5 enclosed trailer and avg around 14l/100km
Overall we are happy with our sr5 purchase

We have purchased a number of these for work. I drove a 2016 SR5 automatic which has just been returned from Toyota. The gearbox struggles to find second when coming out of a corner, the engine revs hard then bang the 2nd gear engages and the wheels spin! This can't be good for the drive train. We are sending it back this week but I have had a second complaint from another sales rep. We have always purchased Toyota hiluxes due to reliability and resale value. I am really nervous with this new model!

Quiet, comfortable,economic, reliable.
2016 SR5 also has a good insulation in the cabin - for heat and noise. Perfect for Australian desert conditions.
The cabin stays cool longer than my previous ute I noticed. good leg room. Navigation system is little confusing in the beginning takes time to get used to it.

I purchased this car in early May 2017 I’m very impressed with how quite the car is on the road. We also own a Corolla and the hilux is a lot quieter on the road. We took the hilux to Uluru and I couldn’t tell the van was there. Got the economy down to 12litres per 100. I didn’t want to stop I loved driving it. My only problems is the fuel light comes on with 20 litres in the tank. The other is the auto goes between 5th n 6th up n down. I purchased a premium package and got leather seats love the seats so comfortable.

I upgraded from a 2014 to the 2016 Toyota Dual cab SR5 4X4 vehicle and found it to be better than the 2014 model.
I did 98341 kilometers without any problems with the 2014 and found the new ute to be a very good upgrade.
The only problem is the lightness in the rear as you feel the unevenness of the concrete roads but with any weight in the rear it is magic.
I tried them all but went back to the Toyota, price and reliability.

My 2016 SR5 squeaks with passengers in the rear seats. The effect is the same as polystyrene rubbing together. Took car back twice with no change. When returning from a 4x4 run my mates laughed as my new Hilux squeaked like a 1915 old truck. Right mirror with caravan mirror on it folds back at 80 KM/H by itself. Toyota staff advised this is normal and not something Toyota see as a problem. I thought the Hilux is unbreakable but clearly weaker than the competition in some areas. As a last point did anybody found the trimming on the dash reflecting sun light into the cab blinding passengers and driver.

This is our first 4wd / ute and it's perfect. My husband actually refers to it as 'sexy'.
We fell in love with the red colour. We've had so many compliments. Our 2yr LOVES it.
First time towing with it last weekend with a ute full of Water Ski & camping equipment and the drive was incredibly smooth ..... Wonder if my husband actually remembered his wife & son were in the car or if it was just a 2 hour intimate moment he was having with the Hilux.
Everything is so easy to use, Bluetooth is crystal clear and the bomb digity is the DIGITAL RADIO.
Old school tunes -- the best ..!
Fuel consumption pretty good & leather seats - awesome ..!
Very happy with our 'Third Wheel' in our marriage.

I traded my 2007 SR5 for 2016 SR5 both diesel auto, old one gearing was perfect, new one starts of ok but come down a slight hill and it drops a gear and puts the revs up like you've put it in 3rd in a manual box, but worse is if you come to a slow corner say 10-20 kmh it seems to not be able to find a gear it wanders between what feels like 1st and 2nd, once you pick up speed it's fine and goes up through the gears no problem, any ideas? I've tried changing how much I press the accelerator but makes no difference, can the gear settings be changed by th dealer who isn't that helpful, the hard cover hasn't locked since I got it 3 months ago, I've had it back there 3 times, if you open it the alarm goes of.

I have had all the last 4 generations of Toyota Hilux,s. This is most definitely the worst Hilux I have had. The hilux gears down on the smallest of declines and revs up to 4000 rpm. Passengers comment "whats that noise all about "Toyota refer to it as their DSF (decent safety feature). It does it at high speeds and as low as 30kmh.
Another are the injectors that burn and smoke. My hilux had to be towed back to the service department. They replaced the injectors but hear is the cool comment : TOYOTA have not developed a computer system to repair this as yet.

So you purchase a new Hilux and have to drive around with this until a COMPUTER SYSTEM is developed.

Total JOKE

And you have heard that it also failed its roll test.

This is a reasonable car with low running cost- with capped price servicing and cheap diesel, it is affordable to run as long as you dont push it. Owning the SR5 for over a year has been ok as the parts are expensive and hard to find. The backseat is too upright and it very uncomfortable as the seating is thin. The ride is very bumpy and unsettled in the back unless you have a large load (300kg+) of stuff. The ute is very long, it is hard to fit into car spaces especially on street parking. With roof racks and no adjustments it is hard to get into shopping centres as the hight is 2m with roof racks.
Besides that it is a average car with aspects that need to taken into account when buying.

Please everyone before purchasing a Toyota Hylux, have a look at the testing done in the US, these things just tip over very scary,spread the word that this is unacceptable,apparently models affected are from 2007-2017......
Imagine if you had to swerve suddenly to avoid anything on our Aussie roads it could be the last thing you do...!
