Ridiculous road dynamic, compared to the VW Amarok 2024 which is test driven just prior. I wouldn’t pay $50K for the rogue given it’s archaic interior and road ability.

The Hilux needs an update ASAP. The new model could even be a facelift Tacoma. I'd consider it over any other option still, since in Europe the competition is at similar prices, but with smaller displacement engines.

[@hedydd2]

I completely agree. They need to replace this HiLux range with a new generation and they do have the new Tacoma as a template. Smaller displacement engines are great as long as they build them to be reliable and to last. Face it, who would have imagines ten years ago that a 2.8 diesel would make as much power as the 1HD FT-E 4.2 unit and trounce it with 100Nm more torque while also using about 25% less fuel? It’s only a matter of degrees that rivals get exactly the same power and torque out of a 2.0 engine. As long as Ford get their timing belt issue sorted, which they promise they now have done, it may well be the gold standard for others to beat in future. That’s not to denigrate the Toyota 2.8 at all, because it is a cracking engine in every way.

@@hedydd2 The Mitsubishi L200 (Triton) currently out of EU market due to emissions. The Nissan Navara with a weak timing chain system. Ford Ranger and VW Amarok using a wet timing belt. The Isuzu D-Max with a small 2.0L Bi-Turbo engine. The Hilux 2.4 at similar prices, it's like a no brainer.

[@hedydd2]

@@RogerM88 The L200 out of the EU has nothing to do with Emissions. Mitsubishi have completely and permanently withdrawn all their business from Europe and Nissan have shut their European Navara factory in Spain and have abandoned the pickup truck market over the vast region. The D-Max is only available here with the lethargic and outdated 1.9 diesel while the almost equally lethargic HiLux 2.4 has been mostly replaced by the rather good 2.8 with 200hp and 500Nm torque. The same engine as will be fitted to the new Land Cruiser 250. By far the best pickups at the moment are the Ford and VW and sales reflect this, only limited by supply for the moment. Toyota hybrid is interesting but they do need a new generation model to compete with and leapfrog the best rivals. Rivals that will have their own hybrids very soon.

[@igorm.7198]

Has anyone actually checked that ground clearance that Toyota claims ? Normally the lowest point above ground on the pickup truck is the rear diff, and its height above ground basically depends on the tire size. The Hilux normally has the same tire size as most other pickups in the segment (265/60/R18), however they claim to have about 3,5-4,5 cm more ground clearance than the competition. Unless their rear diff has some revolutionary design, and I don't see that it does, what is all this about ?

Jeep has had a mild hybrid 48v system for some time called eTorque. I have one in my 2021 JLU Willys. It uses a small lithium battery mounted under the rear passenger seat next to the driver side frame rail. Up front, the alternator is replaced by belt-starter generator or BSG. The eTorque equipped engines were available for a few years until eventually discontinued with the 4xe models.

[@Marks.Reviews]

Would be good if you could put two new Hiluxs together with and without the 48v v active tech and do a direct comparison between the two, in terms of weight, performance, features and how the 48v v active system works not only in what was mentioned in this blog but in terms of regeneration, where the MGU charges the battery and when it does this. I understand like in a manual, that it provides a bit of an engine brake, as soon as you take your foot off the accelerator. So a more technical review of the system would be great. Also is it possible to flatten the battery.

I want to fit the bull bar on my new Hilux (this model), Any suggestions? Which brand is the best and fits?

[@Jarvo325]

Hi Paul, does the Rogue come with Redarc Brake controller standard?

[@bens5186]

I just purchased one of these… now trying to work out where the DCM is so I can rip it out :(

[@danielsevers198]

Missed talking about the assisted tail gate that every reviewer kept banging on about, also does it really have another 12kw & 65nm? thats 162kw & 565nm, will perform better than the GR then at 165kw & 550nm?

[@sonofamountie]

Are you guys going to review the new GWM hybrid ute?

[@dnomyarnostaw]

Haven't they already done 2 ?

[@sonofamountie]

@@dnomyarnostaw I think those were the Cannon diesel variants. They have a new hybrid model called the Alpha.

[@dnomyarnostaw]

@@sonofamountie I just watched the "2024 GWM Tank 300 hybrid (on/off-road) review:" Is that not it ?

[@sonofamountie]

@@dnomyarnostaw Yeah I saw that one. But no, I'm talking about the new GWM hybrid ute called the Alpha. Their website says it is available now. Was just interested in seeing what Paul and the team thought of it.

[@dnomyarnostaw]

@@sonofamountie Aha, I just looked them up. Good to know, as they are in the style I am looking for. I look forward to hearing more about them t oo.

0-100km/hr in 10.42 seconds? Yikes this thing is slow. The interior looks like a vehicle from 10 years ago. Honestly cannot believe this is considered "new". Yet it will sell. So odd.

[@gordenmohlala]

Dude! The Wildtrack X came out first before this thing. You going to review it ?!

[@youngblood6279]

Sir can you please compare Hyundai Palisade and Ford Everest. plz plz

[@xamin512]

my one is none hybrid. only issue i am having is the steering wheel pulls you on left if you take off your hands .. once you bring it back to center of the road then it will go slightly on right .... engine is just bit loud not smooth as i was expecting model 2024 SR5 Cruiser

[@Shano126]

I hope Toyota does make changes for 2025 model

[@simmadotyeni2614]

Toyota just give us a V6 diesel engine 650Nm and new&better technology

[@joelawrence56]

they wouldn't be able to build enough before 2030...

[@bonkarisetabag9933]

@CarExpert Foton Tunland/Mars V7 and V9 are mild hybrids.. They may be a competitor in this type of tech.. :)

[@ondatasboy270]

I'd still prefer my 2003 3LTD. Done over 400,000kms so just finished running it in.

[@bapupadeltoro]

In Europe Toyota Europe have a big problem with certification of 2.8 engine and we still dont have models Hilux Gr sport 2 and dont have Hilux 48v mild hybrid.Our neighbour Ukrainian have gr sport 2 until september 2023r. This is fault of ***** European Union. Now september 2024 we cant buy any new Hilux😢

[@Malama1492]

Geez that’s expensive! I’m looking at a new Ute in New Zealand and at this point it’s out of reach lol 😂

Toyota is quite confusing with its hybrid applications. Completely different approaches when comparing their car's hybrid system to the truck's. According to Toyota, when they had launched the tundra hybrid in North America, they focus more on delivering quite more overall power to the truck than efficiency. That didn't stop buyers from assuming that the mpg would be a lot better than the regular truck. Also, I've read the press release on this truck and Toyota said that you'll most likely see their claimed fuel economy, if the vehicle is mostly driven in urban or off-road conditions. So far, I see no value in getting this truck. You're not getting more power for the money, the efficiency only matters if you're doing urban or off-road driving, so forget about seeing any reduced mpg figures if you're doing any highway miles. The interior looks like crap for a +$50k (US), 2024 vehicle. It's better to wait for the 2025 model.
