Drag race: Toyota HiLux GR Sport v Raptor v V6 Ranger v Wildtrak! Surprising results!

[@eraserheads78]

Hilux are for buyers who will keep their truck forever. I bought a Hilux not for 0-60mph but for longevity and easy on the pocket maintenance.

[@sealoftheliving4998]

Idiot it will last forever if you maintain properly right on schedule.

[@TheRealPicko]

I wouldn’t keep a hilux for a day let alone forever. My 2017 Ranger Xlt has 240000 kms and haven’t had to do anything apart from std servicing. Had a 2016 hilux before that and will never buy another one. Uncomfortable, slow money pits with way less kit than a Ranger. Not to mention every time my hilux pooped itself it was off the rd for days costing me thousands in lost revenue coz I couldn’t work. Pre 2016 hilux generations were the ones that go forever. IMO

The same goes for the 79 series - totally overpriced and barely any improvements.

Travelling long distances and towing are not the same thing as a drag race. It is a fun video but you can't extrapolate out the results here into a real world towing situation. A 100 series Cruiser is a great long distance and towing vehicle. But it makes less power/torque and would be slower again. A Honda S2000 makes more power than either of the 4cyl diesels, would smoke them in a drag race but would be useless towing.

Before it overheats.

[@vantp016]

But to be practical, these are farm utes not drag racing utes 😂 you don’t see these utes racing in paddocks 🤣 love the vid tho 👍🏽

[@Sunburnae92]

Can’t believe that hilux interior is the same thing since 2016

[@asimpleguy9667]

Hilux with all the design upgrades still looks tiny to the others

[@BokiTV]

Like a skinny man who uses steroids. 😂😂😂😂

[@sdf5052]

Next time you should try a v6 4 liter Hilux, petrol, not the 2800 diesel we have in the Arabian Gulf. No one uses diesel because the petrol engine is much more active and faster than the diesel engine👍👍

[@dane-oy2ne]

Be good to see you review an XLS 2L with tech pack (as you've tested all of the other Rangers). They're a fair bit lighter too so would be nice to see the 0-100 times.

[@dane-oy2ne]

​@user-vk4vd7vr5t Of course it is. I'd like to see, couldn't care less what you think 🤡

[@LatolangErnest]

I am definitely buying the Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2.0D Bi-turbo

[@sodapunpunnarai2336]

Good job

[@BrandonAgpaoa]

I love the Hilux, but that Ranger Raptor, dayem that's also nice. Debating between the two. Which of the two its more reliable, and costs less to maintain?

[@paulbaker7489]

In Colombia, a used 2022 Hilux GR is the same price as a new Chevy Silverado Trail Boss at $68k USD… have always loved the Hilux but from all the comments I’m seeing about the newer ones I’m thinking it’s time to go new.

[@PamelaSalape]

Good

[@justinemarabut5808]

would have been a bette competion if its vs a ranger raptor 2.0l biturbo

[@ChloeAndJM]

Use the paddle shift mate and power mode

[@Nethlon]

Never understood why people care about straight line performance of a dual cab ute. I care about what it can tow and do off road.

[@CarExpertAus]

We’ve already done those videos.

[@rhyswoodman6781]

Why not have straight line speed on top of everything else if you can?

[@markhansford5930]

I love my Hilux, i didnt buy it to win a drag race. And it has heaps of grunt carrying a tonne of wood.

[@yossarianlives100]

Exactly most of the ranger fan boys don't even have one.

[@CarExpertAus]

Yes, luckily you didn't buy it for drag racing! It also won't carry a tonne of wood in GR Sport spec (payload is limited to 780kg, inc. driver). In fact it's so limited by GCM that you'll only be able to carry 80kg if you tow at 3500kg braked.

[@shanewilson4875]

Fixed your diff yet Paul?

[@greggough]

How does the petrol Amarok compare in accelaration to all these?

[@qasimqasimof]

Amarok very bad car

[@Jeff-za]

Would be keen to see these drag races with Wright in back, and maybe trailer with weight in back. To see how well they do with weight

[@CarExpertAus]

We did something similar recently in our mega Ute test. We used a trailer dyne and measured performance times from 0-100.

[@aussiemadman7560]

im am on the road of buying a new 4wd, and i think its a toss up between the gr sports and the v6 wildtrak, love to see a comparison. cheers

[@paulmcintosh5589]

It will be like all the other drag races with Hilux, paper work says it’s got more power than Dmax yet looses. Like all toyota information smoke and mirrors with less than what you would expect for the money.

[@sbGOM]

Like the towing capacity. Theoretically, and according to Toyota is 3500kg, whereas that's impossible to achieve in reality while still being legal.

[@Pantelifts10]

I don't know about the Hilux but Toyota information about Tundra is legit. I know cause I've had 2 and worked them to their limits.

[@paulmcintosh5589]

@@Pantelifts10 tundra completely different vehicle V8 petrol good engine.

[@Rangeradam]

Love the detail you go to with your reviews Paul. Always on the lookout for the next video release. Don’t get drag racing dual cabs. Certainly not high on my list when evaluating my next purchase.

[@donaldmaluyo]

Are both pick ups on the sport/power mode?

[@davidscott820]

Think he forgot to push the button in the Hilux.

[@gureno19]

Its slow....but only one of these utes will be on the road in 10-15 years time 😂

[@anoop4243]

In 10-15 years, most people would be driving EVs. Not a gas guzzling ancient pickup truck.
