Good Ute. :) But needs more power.

published

Reliable 4x4 ute. :) Bit slow, but snorkel and extractors opened it up so it would sit on 110kms on the highway, but not much faster than that. Mine has 300,000kms and still goes strong.

Yes, i would buy another. But would go for the V6 or 3ltr turbo diesel just for that extra over taking power vehicles.

Toyota Hilux 2017 SR5 TRD - Top of the Range

published

Amazing car - had it for more than 6 months and drives beautiful. Very proud owner of the TRD. I see people talk about fuel and all - they should get a smaller car like a Yarris or something - you can't eat your cake and have it too.
I am happy with the service and product.

Rust on diff and chassis

published

Bought a new 2016 hulix sr5 took hunting once rust on diff and chassis Toyota said environmental damage chassis and diff not painted enough I will take the matter to current affairs. They asked me do I take the Ute to the beach and park the Ute at the beach, off course I go to the beach with family. Do you want me to leave the Ute in the garage and catch a train to the beach.

Never Again

published

Shocking fuel economy (500 - 550 per tank) Took back to toyota & they put it on the computer & the verdict was nothing wrong. First tank of diesel after getting 670Km. Put your foot down with power button on & the motor is revving like you wouldn't believe but has no power what so ever. Will never buy another Toyota & wishing had bought a DMax a lot cheaper

Good solid ute

published

Hilux drove well, under powered in today’s market but solid enough to do the job. Comfy to sit In for long drives, road noise quite low, reasonable price to service, fuel useage acceptable being 10lts per 100kms, interior one of if not be best quality as in no rattles or panels coming out over rough roads etc. not the market leader for tech In cab but all in all good vehicle.

Not the best hilux released

published

Bought new 2015 sr5 2 Years ago to replace 2009 sr5 hilux and am not impressed at all. Uses 30% more fuel than advised no matter what driving conditions proven by 13500km of fuel receiptslodged with toyota. Already had failed rear diff and water pump at 32000km. Very little 4wd use but “safety features” make it impossible to drive in sand. Spent 6 weeks in total so far at toyota with no clues on cause of poor performance. Won’t be buying another new toyota any time soon. Only upgraded for legal towing capacity.
Stick with mk7 version. I hate my mk8
Also won’t engage 6th gear under any driving conditions unless your doing over 140kmh
57000km in and I’d prefer to drive my old hilux any day

two tray petrol hilux

published

Best thing i have ever bought.always have had old holdens they told me to test drive one .I was surprised I thought Japanese shot. But I must admit it works hard.it carry heavy loads as good as the holden brakes stops with a load read well.it always has half ton on board it gets 180 ks more out of the same amount of fuel as the old holden. Really happy wouldn't be with out it.it a Japanese ute but it's good no wonder holden and Ford couldn't compete.

Worth every single dollar!

published

The Toyota 8th generation Hilux is the best Ute Toyota has produced by far. It is so smooth driving with little to no noise. The interior is luxury and very spacious with very handy little accessory’s like the cup holder and Bluetooth system. I purchased the car 6 months ago and so far have had no issues.

Great car

published

Purchased brand new Toyota Hilux workmate utility with tray. Great vehicle runs really well, very reliable and very fuel efficient. Use this on our hobby farm around the paddocks and bush tracks and covers terrain really well. Also handles well on the road. Comfortable interior making it good for long trips.

Purchased this for my small business and have not looked back ever since.

Beautiful car with a phenominal driving experience. All of the features are useful and very user-friendly.

Owned the car since June last year and have not had to deal with any problems.

So far, so good - highly recommend!

Fantastic Vehicle

published

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.

Tough and Durable

published

We brought the Toyota SR5 in 2005. this purchase has been amazing. The vehicle has always been a strong kicker, had a few minor hiccups but once repaired, no further problems. 13 years later this car has gone through hell being a fleet vehicle. and it is still holding strong, had a few tricky issues with the internal cab fan but again fixed twice and no problems,

This 2005 model will go on forever with expected maintenance for its age.
