[@Beardinc]

Am considering importing a hilux to Canada, ASPW is someone i truly trust so i was excited to see 4xO had reviewed the 2007 hilux!

[@chungteng1972]

I still loved my old Hilux LN60 1st generation model with 2LT Engine. Made in Japan still the best. Also loved the front and rear solid axles with leaf springs. Best of the best. LOL

[@misskuci6471]

I love my triton.. Best all da bestt

[@4xoverland]

On the land rover, the centre transmission is locked by moving the transfer gearchange lever sideways. On the Toyota, there is an electric switch, to the left of the steering column.

[@BroBadger]

Best midsize truck ever!

[@senor250]

I've found that I always have to keep the gears low. Only use 5th on motorways

[@mobz16]

seriously my dad jus bought one and we live in the caribbean imported straight for japan and the hilux is one of the best japanese pickups in the caribbean it does well on all mountanoius terrains

[@tubingtheworld]

they help when putting things on the roof rack.

[@helenaki8]

toyota made the hilux engine for more than 500.000 kilometers without problem. i never see the new hilux smoke on full speed i see many navara on high speed roads black smoke

[@juanzavala288]

Es una chulada de troca muy buena la hilux

[@ashishatif]

you are right ! i am with you

[@theswiftprogram]

The running boards don't go much lower then the other stuff underneath plus that was only the factory standard boards. If you get steel ones your fine.

[@navigat361]

you're absolutely right ! why we don't have diesel light pickups is beyond me.

[@4xoverland]

rear diif lock is standard with higher-spec Hilux in SA

[@nbkolivas1]

Was it electronic or air?

[@enemay]

Awesome truck, I'm getting mine in 2 weeks!

[@ggvrg-696]

Are you still here after 10 years?

[@freestyla101]

@Zeus94ify do you say that because it looks better as a poster on your wall? or from experience. hummers are about as good off road as a bmw x5 m sport.

[@apple2714]

So is there a diff lock standed? is it front and back. With a supension lift would it make this hilux very good off road. how reliable are the new d4d 3.0 diesel engines any problems yet? cheers

[@mathieuemi666]

@nawras94al However, you won't have to take them to the mechanics every 2 weeks, and they're rock solid. For these reason you can resell them at a fair price as well, then you don't really pay more than the competitors.

[@chandanamarasinghe]

is this the same place you tested the Defender ?

[@garynz345]

@forgotten539 look for beam axle vehicles like nissan patrol or the older hiluxs and landcruisers.

[@HotHeadCJ]

Question, Is the Hilux in the Caribbean available with diff locks

[@KenanVideos]

@EndangeredSoup Stupid question but what's the 3L for seeing that there's already 2.8 of something

[@reviva2003]

how about the triton?

[@MetaView7]

if Toyota sells the Hilux in North America, Ford and GM would go broke.

[@ufukbeyoglu58]

I have a 4x4 too. it is very powerfull, comfortable...

[@theswiftprogram]

They do but ita called the tacoma its not quit the same its got a different front and its a tiny but larger then a normal hilux,

[@AA280N]

I saw the moose test about the hilux and it failed to all of the tests ... Especialy the first makes me crazy it says that it can rollover ... I think you should do and some test like this bcz how a truck/suv will be good if it can roll over? Btw i saw alll your videos there are amazing...

[@phonganan555]

Toyota number 1 ,

[@ronramos1613]

I've heard that the newer 2012-2014 hiluxes have better suspension. Would it be possible then to fit the dampers/springs of the 2014 hilux to the old 2009 hilux to get a better ride? Or the parts won't fit across these minor changes?

[@ctrl-alt-awesome5189]

Ron Ramos no you couldn't in most if not all other country's the olders use leaf springs

[@CREvothegreater]

diff lock?....

[@hendobizle]

@nawras94al it means your timing belt needs to be replaced!

[@norwester7018]

Old Toyotas Are amazing, I've a 1st Gen Hilux Surf and it's got 315K miles on it and it's still rock solid. The frames under them are bigger then most "full size" US pickups of a few years ago and they go off-road like few other vehicles in history BUT, the D4D is an amazing motor aye. I'm swapping a 1KZ-TE into a 2nd Gen 4Runner (Surf) here in the US to have he best of both worlds. I never drove Mitsu's in OZ when I lived there, but I love Mitsu's, sadly we don't get them in the US. Typical

[@91toyotaoffroader]

i like it

[@twisted5abi]

which country is this from

[@madaraszattila]

i agree!

[@hoshmandosman2341]

2024❤

[@nonstopjames]

what kinda car is that? there are nissian frontier but nothing called a toyota fortuner

[@HotHeadCJ]

I'm a guy who drives quite fast, I knowing that Hilux failed the moose test I'm looking others places like MItsu or the new ranger t6. Currently I drive a Mitsu L200 Strada with a lsd in rear and 2000 Pajero and dont have me worried when I go fast around a sharp corner.

[@GRTYoutube]

That would be the Moose test done at Mitsubishi (look at the buildings) where the Hilux was driven faster and turned in more violently ? Not a true or even representative test.

[@SathavornWangkaew]

good

[@wyunaboy]

hilux is based from a minivan! its called toyota innova. toyota just changes the suspensions and a tub in the back instead of a passenger seats.they have also a SUV called Fortuner which is actualy a jack up Innova

[@nawras94al]

@hendobizle thanks i will try it

[@gullf1sk]

@woodfootball11 Evidence?

[@norwester7018]

Toyota HAS been putting 4cyl Diesel's in LC's for years. They're just called Bunderra's or Prado's meaning they're LC bodies with Mini-truck/Hilux 8" running gear. Look at the LJ78. it's got the 2LT-E, and there's the 2nd/3rd Gen Hilux Surfs/4Runners that are essentially the same thing underneath. Those had 1KZ-T/TE's in them. I'm swapping one into a 2nd Gen 4Runner right now AMAZING engines/trucks. FWIW The Nissan 3.0L had some "issues" and the tranny they used with them broke a LOT so...

[@reviva2003]

0:17 the car has a problem on it's center board

[@rcook0027]

they might think not enough buyers? idk

[@dx80cruiser]

One wonders if Toyota will put a 4 cylinder diesel in the Landcruiser like Nissan did with the Patrol. They put this engine in the Prado.

[@Toulavej58]

Running boards on a 4x4 ?! If you buy a pick up for what it is intended=working truck ,you do not need running boards,etc perfect paint,running boards,all that is for urban cowboys. tough guys wana- be Hilux has a rich and long history,and so far the best truck one can buy

[@AdrianC12345]

@meattube4u33 Plenty of cars are prone to tipping over, that's why you drive carefully. and as for the acceleration people who knew what to do didn't die. Only US drivers died, even though it has happened world wide.

[@vettefever67]

for the love of god please sell this in america

[@madaraszattila]

i dont think my navara woudnt be eable to do that either

[@norwester7018]

The US got shafted with the Tacoma... They're still amazing trucks, but compared to the Hilux they're just not up to snuff and not getting the D4D (or ANY small Diesel trucks) is just criminal. I'm having to build my own Hilux Surf/1KZ-TE cause I'm so desperate to have an oil-burner and all the great things it means for an Overland vehicle... Like 25-30mpg loaded and going over a 12,000ft. pass on a 2 week outing into the PNW wilderness.

[@aveir0]

Good branding but giving a bad spec. Need to replace timing belt on time. Steel fuel tank and it's hanging below the frame instead of sitting on the frame. Chassis is thin and 7 cross link only. Same engine block as the 2KD-FTV only different on the piston and turbo. Unstable ride, bumpy and floating when highspeed and cornering. The back is high and hard to reversing car. Front brake only single piston caliper and small pads as well as rear small drums. Small size axle and wishbone arms. It's

[@kulluminati]

i m just gonna try the vhiacle, vhiacle is new to us we gonna try it, see where the balance lies wit the vhiacle, see whats vhiacle gonna do....rolf

[@goldumb]

Anyone watching this in 2021?

[@harrytjiposa8183]

D4d 4L v6 Automatic engine

[@sugarnads]

Comments are funny.

[@norwester7018]

... Like??? They fixed the frame rusting issue caused by DANA building the Tacoma frames, the new D4D addressed whatever somewhat infrequent HG issues the old TDs (2L/TE and some 1KZ-T's) had, the "Prius thing" here in the US was 100% driver error/idiocy and ROW trucks have been the top, most reliable trucks for their entire lives so... yeah, I'm calling bullshit.

[@nawras94al]

in australia these models are still too expensive

[@nonstopjames]

I'm thinking of buying a hilux in south america and then driving it here....who is with me?! lol

[@21sparrow7]

They dont make these in america. =(

[@ashishatif]

ok , just type suv adventure 2009 and see !

[@superfly3331]

@reviva2003 triton has NOTHING on one of these...not saying its a shit vehicle, but you're better off paying a tad more and getting absolute QUALITY, DURABILITY and just plain awesomeness!!! :-)

[@aveir0]

for the new model hilux.. the road holding is not so good.. coz u see the back of lux is very high...the previous model is better

[@norwester7018]

YEP... Course a LOT of us Toyota guys are just buying new motors (I'm going Turbo-Diesel) and solid axles and making our trucks what we want. 84-95 Toyotas are pure "Rest of the World" Hilux, after that we got the "Tacoma" chassis and they weakened it in favor of a better ride (C-Channel fame -vs- heavier gauge, fully boxed)... sad really. They should also at least let us special order the 70-series Cruisers cause once you drive one you'll never be happy in anything else. AMAZING trucks.

[@shortfinals]

In what country do you live? Every country's Hilux will be built with different spring specifications. Perhaps you have a vehicle very different from the one we get here in South Africa. Did you ever think of that? And why tell me to shut up? Does my opinion offend you?

[@Feisal254]

Under a Mazda? Oh please, don't tell me Italians have got a clue about 4X4s!

[@hernanmunoz]

Jsut too much crapy plastics, very thin and they bend if you let this vehicle under the sun for a while. Also has a noticeable chassis vibration, turtle engine at low rpm

[@dx80cruiser]

@Zeus94ify Mate, you must be American. No one, and I mean no one is Oz drives a Hummer off road. In the outback and in the mines they all drive Landcruisers or Hiluxs.

[@flenny]

my ranger isnt american built or designed, its actually a mazda under the ford badging and hate to burst ur bubble but ur beloved land rover copied the first mass produced 4x4, the willy's jeep

[@ednobre]

expensive try brasil

[@madaraszattila]

SOUTH AFRICA, because the hilux is manufactured tjere

[@HotHeadCJ]

the hilux is not as good as the mitsubishi l200 any day cause it can haul more and handle fars better than that crap at high speeds when cornering, its also a better offroader

[@jedsebastian]

looks like this guy has not driven the triton.lol

[@alwcurlz]

Big deal. An 80's AMC Eagle could do the same thing, and it was a car.

[@ayeshtube]

toyota today are just not that good.. i was a toyota fan all my life. When i test drove the hilux i hated it instantly. I hated the dull interior. the ride comfort, even rear leg room. Once i drove the NEw Mitsubishi l200 WOW> it was vast difference. ITs a awesome truck i love.. being using it for like 8 months now. its very comfy more extras and decently priced too..

[@king20020001]

iQuick coup and uncomfortable

[@norwester7018]

No, it's really not. Completely different frame, engines and the Hilux get's totally different load ratings. They're almost 100% different except for the steering/front IFS which is based of the Prado and was in fact originally taken from the Tacoma when they dtched the "Hi-Trac" IFS or the SFA that the ROW trucks got. The Tacoma has a higher tow rating, but the Hilux has almost double the bed-load capacity. So, NO, they're not "the same truck with a different body"... not even kind of...

[@flenny]

sorry but its "piece"

[@Metallirocks]

@Zeus94ify Hahahahhahahahahahahahaahah. - Hummer better than Hilux. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Thats a good one.

[@perryman333]

Yeah but japan is shit for offroading anyways. But you are right, it is really easy to make that hill in a ranger.

[@sharonsuyu8180]

Gago &yio9aA

[@flenny]

plz...my ford ranger can climb that bump in 2wd!

[@madaraszattila]

the nissan navara is way better

[@SP2333]

Triton GLX-R is better...

[@ashishatif]

you are wrong , i think you have never drive a navara

[@RobsonChannel]

hummer is good but...better than HILUX.......!!~~

[@Feisal254]

Please don't bring a 'Ford' into 4X4 off roading! There are only two off road cars, the Landrover and Land Cruiser! Americans don't know anything about cars and especially off roading!

[@hernanmunoz]

Toyota has too many quality problems, and they will be even more. They used to built decent vehicles in the past...not anymore

[@mobz16]

seriously my dad jus bought one and we live in the caribbean imported straight for japan and the hilux is one of the best japanese pickups in the caribbean it does well on all mountanoius terrains
