Paul, These tests you guys carry out are great including the 4wd testing and towing vids - it would be a good comparison to put the approx onroad costs (as per the vehicle tested) against the vehicles as a perspective comparrison. After all, at some point it is a trade off in the decision making process for the purchaser between performance, suitability, comfort, reliability, towing capacity, cargo size etc etc against price - which can make a big difference in the outcome decision to buy.

That's Toyota's problem. Designing something to compete with something else that's already under power and out dated. It's like apple. Their phones at 10 years behind but people still but them.

[@adampowell4867]

The previous Ranger Raptor only had the bi turbo and everyone complained about that. The 10 speed auto is more responsible for keeping the race close, rather than engine outputs. The 6 speed toyota gearbox isn't in the same league. The new Hilux better be damn good

Yes to power mode - and it makes no difference. It’s a throttle calibration. When you go to 100% throttle it doesn’t matter if power mode is on or not. S mode also makes no difference - it just holds to a maximum gear.

Thanks mate for all insights, really valuable....💪 I am Toyota fan and looking into buy a UTE upcoming December. But, I noted even GR Sport or Rough are no upto latest interior improvements compared to the competitiveness, though I cannot expect similar lifetime, maintenance, endurance, some basic factors with my mind to keep the car for the next decade. What are your thoughts? I believe I will travel minimum 10,000 - 20,000 per annum as the work vehicle with the ute. We have a Rav4 hybrid for personal uses at home that also drive 10,000 - 20,000 per year. Some say, maintenance, lifetime depend on the user and usages plus brand/ make does not matter. Can this apply with Raptor vs Hilux? Cheers

The previous generation Ranger Raptor didn't deserve the 'Raptor' name, which is why I never bought one. But the current one definitely does. Toyota is still stuck in the past with a vehicle that can only compete with the previous generation Ranger Raptor. They are like Apple - they know people will keep buying the Hilux no matter what, so they don't bother improving it much. The same goes for the 79 series - totally overpriced and barely any improvements. I also waited ages for the new Land Cruiser 300 series before I bought one, because my 2014 LC200 was so similar to the newer ones, The LC300 is the first one in ages to actually be a significant upgrade, and I bet I'll keep this one for the next 10 years as well, because the updates will be so insignificant.

And I highly doubt that he drove it into the ground, he only drives in town and on the highways and tends to drive like a grandma on her way to church. I'm sure they'll iron out the niggles eventually, and then there should be kind of midlife update to address the issues that they have, and that's when I'll start seriously looking at one.
