I worked for Toyota as a parts manager for 12 years. The Hilux was our best seller. I could sell Truckman tops all day long. Bull bars were in then. Amazing vehicle. Bit agricultural to drive in the early 90s but a terrific vehicle..VW made one called a Taro. But that was just to get round import control. Didn't last long. Rear light lenses were vulnerable but reliability was off the scale.

I have a '63 Invincible that I've had for 8 years. Great, ultra dependable vehicle that dives and runs like a tractor. However, underneath has been a shocking battle against rust and rot for the past couple of years with cross members crumbling and requiring cutting out and new sections replaced. I live nowhere near the sea and it's not getting to hard a life on a ten acre small holding, so all I can assume is absolutely shocking corrosion protection and quality control out of the factory. For a £53k investment, I'd want a pretty solid explanation as to how the corrosion process has been radically improved over the past 11 years!

All diesels do their DPF regen on the move, every few hundred miles depending on the car. It’s only when they’re relentlessly mooched about town, never getting up to operating temperature at very low speeds when the DPF doesn’t have a chance to regen. That’s when you need to force a regen manually through diagnostic software. Usually the fault of the owner, not the car. If anyone is having to do manual regens, just get a petrol…

The Toyota Hilux I drove had I'd say a good Stockport council bin worth of litter in it and drove as I told my mates like driving a bouncy castle!

Mat I had one for years to be honest I never had a issue with it .. It just kept going ..I covered over one hundred and seventy thousands miles in the truck.and only kept to the maintenance schedules. The only advisory I ever had with a mot.was to change the drop links .. I sold the truck to the local farmer and it is still going strong ..to be honest I don't know what the mileage is now but it must be near three hundred thousand now. If I was in the market for a pickup again Hilux would be the only one I would buy.all I can say is don't use cheap diesel ..in the truck. And every now and again put a shot of redex or something like it in the fuel tank.

6:04 is quite a big one for me - the pickup we had while in the US there was enough space under the bench seat to get 2 small backpacks which went a long way to making up for the lack of a proper boot (which you will miss even with the cargo bed). My Navara has just a shoe box sized space which the subwoofer already sits in under one of the rear seats and 2 smaller spaces under the other two which aren't very useful at all.

08:58 - I've not heard of a car which requires you to pull over, or visit a garage to regenerate the DPF. Every car I've come across with a DPF, will do a regeneration when required on the move. Providing the temperature of the DPF is in zone, and the average speed is above x amount. If you had to wait for a garage visit, you could theoretically be there every 4 thousand miles, or more without a regen. You could block a modern DPF in under four thousand miles, depending on the cars usage if it didn't regenerate.

Wrong. Most of us Americans who want/need a smaller truck would gladly buy a Hilux if Toyota sold them here. Most of us don’t want “bro-dozers” or overpriced complicated computers-on-wheels, but that’s what they make and offer for sale. Blame CARB requirements, manufacturer one-upsmanship , whatever. Our dealers are filled with overpriced under built junk that gets recalled a month after it’s built. We want smaller and cheaper. Case in point - Ford Maverick sales increases are blowing everything else out of the water. Not a coincidence.

I have just been given the 2024 Invincible automatic for work. I was in the 2023 Ranger Wildtrak for the last year. The Ranger is superior in terms of comfort and enjoyability. In the Hilux, unless you want to be fully extending your arms to reach the steering wheel, even when extended all the way out, your knees will be at a 90 degree angle, and your left knee will be pressed against the 4x4 control. I think this has been designed by someone who has never driven before.

Need to remember with the ride comfort that it’s designed to carry 1000kg and still tow a couple of tons. I have one and it needs at least 100kg in the back, if not more, to take the initial bounce out. A LR commercial doesn’t have this payload, I believe, so can manage on other spring methods. I had a D40 Navara before with a canopy and it made the world of difference. The ICE head units are beyond useless. As a tech country Toyota have some shocking stereo units. Speed dial takes 5 less buttons than dialling the chuffing number!! My big blue wheel barrow earns its keep at work and around the house so anything else wouldn’t come close.

Hey Matt, love your history links (Marie Antoinette) Nice and nippy but looks more suited to a farm or ranch. Not one for nipping into town! Not for me, way too big and bouncy. X

It won't outlive much.. chassis snapping is very common in later life. I'm sure they come with factory fitted corrosion as standard.

I think you hit the nail on the head. The Ford Ranger (Wildtrack) is a much better leisure truck with work-site capabilities, but the Hilux, as a work-first vehicle, is still the better choice, in my opinion. I use my Invincible X off-road most days with about 850kg in the back, and I have never found it stressful or uncomfortable to drive. However, I find the Ranger way better to drive, similar to a sporty SUV even with weight in the bed, whereas the Hilux is a more sporty tractor. I know I am getting where I need to be and home that night with the Hilux. It's not an exciting vehicle to drive or own and not as relaxing as a Volvo (family car); it's just plain, like ready-salted crisps The D-max has a better touch screen and camera. Ranger has better driving dynamics. The standard Bridgestone on the Hilux can cope off the road, but I feel a set of Michelin's would suit it better. Ford has an A/T tyre available as a homologated option. The 360 camera has poor image quality and no washer function. The radio screen is ancient but simple-ish To use. The D-max has a much more modern screen and a high-resolution rear camera. But if you want a work tool that will last ten years easily that can carry the family or work colleagues, then no real better option than the Hilux

Hilux been living on reputation for a long time, interior is 10-15 years behind Ranger/Amarok, old 4 cyl engine, no AWD option or 360 camera's.

Bizarrely, I wouldn't buy a Dyson vacuum if they were £10, they're crap ! Found out the hard way TWICE. Now I buy Sebo, and had my current one for nearly 15 years. Also wouldn't go anywhere near a Range Rover. Apart from the fact they look hideous, I wouldn't want the insurance cost, nor the very high likelihood of it either breaking down, or being stolen. Pickup though, Toyota HiLux all the way !

the new 2.8 td is an absolute revelation, 400nm! the GR has greatly upgraded shocks and rides and turns better. and yeah, its not a limo or a race car... but it is the best at what does. but the road tax, especially going forward, is the elephant in the room?
