Toyota HiLux 2021 review: Rogue family test - see the ultimate tradie ute as a family car

[@debendragurung3033]

Everybody: its a Hilux it's indestructible. Somebody: cupholder is too big

[@evarwilliams]

Ironically, this is the first truly informative and practical review I've seen to date.

[@kwaneledube3152]

they nailed the looks. loving it

[@Hassan-kp5cu]

Good short review. Thank you.

[@jweston1012]

I’ve got one. Roller cover literally blew up (motor smoking and burnt out) after 6 weeks. Covered by warranty but a serious pain!! Everything else about the Ute is excellent.

[@michaeldoughty1257]

I’ve had problems with the roller cover as well, been back 4 times to get it fixed and it stopped working again for 2 days last week, a real pain in the ass!! Other than that I like everything else about the Ute, had 3 hilux’s before this one, always been great utes.

[@shamwarirag4468]

I have this bad boy, excellent pickup truck! I use it for mall crawling and weekend warrior work - camping and beach driving. If I was wanting to mall crawl only, I would not buy this pickup truck.

[@saxambirsingh959]

Beautiful truck ❤

[@mal-wx6tu]

$69,000 !!, it's no wonder the Chinese brands are climbing up the sales charts, offering comparable utes for thousands less. It used to be the top seller, Ford Ranger stole that mantle a while ago.

[@theotherleft6113]

Great review. I think the humble ute has gone away from its roots of being a tradie vehicle due to the carpeted tub. One thing all Toyota reviews seem to miss is servicing is every 6 months/10,000km for the Hilux which is just a blatant money rort expecially for a commercial vehicle, when compared to its competition.

[@feedme100timesover]

It's why the last so long and are reliable, so costs less in the long run

[@simonvance8054]

Be extremely wary of being ripped off buying a used Hilux..(and many other used cars). There are so many people trying to sell them for nearly the price of a new one, the same or in some cases more than the cost of a new one! I cannot get my head around the level of arrogance of people charging those kind of prices for something that’s a few years old with thousands of k’s on it. That tells you a lot about the sellers.. I mean WTF is wrong with these people?!...

[@pinaki2905]

Madam Cup holder in front air con vent is meant for keeping beverages not the hot coffee. In scorching summer the placement keeps liquid cool. It is also available in Innova and Fortuner.

[@kwaneledube3152]

Now that the rogue is out, I'd love to see a comparison review against the x-terrain. Just a day to day living with each ute, on road driving, comfort etc

[@carsguide]

Cheers for the suggestion, and that would be a cracker. We'll try and make it happen. - Mal Flynn

[@siquanwu3131]

Perfect, just when I think swap my sedan to a Ute. 🙏

[@sssamcz]

Love this new reviewer! Car looks cool, but not exactly practical for urban family use.

[@carsguide]

Thanks Sam, get ready to see plenty more of Kate. Cheers, Mal Flynn

[@351tgv]

buy the Fortuner instead if you plan on using this type of vehicle for the family/adventure weekend, the Hilux version makes no sense in this segment.

[@carsguide]

It's certainly not the smartest choice for general family use, but plenty of people are doing it. Great minds though, TGV. Cheers, Mal Flynn

[@reninwilliams2937]

Kate how comfortable is the rear seat for the kids say for 4hr to 12hr drive? (Ofcourse with bio/snack breaks in between)

[@zi9bin510]

You’re getting sick while in the rear seat.

[@hansonmmm]

Im from Malaysia, we use the same name Hilux Rogue here and I own exactly the same red colour as this one. Im really a proud owner.

[@mattgraver3604]

Mam' why on earth would you have the air conditioning on while drinking hot coffee? How does that make any sense?

[@ardyaprilianta9732]

Almost 70k for all those plastic stuck on the exterior.... why dont save the money and get sr5 instead, still expensive with less plastic stick with glue

[@marklondonmark5657]

This or the new D max guys? For Thailand by the way.

[@jarrahfitzgerald2752]

I like your commitment to car testing. Threatening to run over a child @5:32 to test the AEB is pro 👌👍

[@matthewaustin3488]

Also no blind spot monitoring on the side mirrors🙁

[@GriffDawg94]

Customary toyota badge pricing, remember when they used to be value for money?

[@danmccarthy4700]

My mind is blown seeing the 'Rogue' badge on a Toyota rather than a Nissan. Also, I think the HiLux looks way better than the Tacoma we get here.

[@carsguide]

We'd still be happy to see the Tacoma on our shores. And chuck in the Tundra while you're at it. Cheers, Mal Flynn

[@FMF5517]

@@carsguide I don't mind if Toyota trades some Tundra for some Land Cruiser flat bed for the US market.

[@corporalkang-in-chan7926]

I wonder why Australians prefer the Hilux family over the American Tundra Tacoma , I noticed KZbin clips of Australians fixing cars. Most of them are Hilux

[@noelneil90rn]

I agree with that feeling, "Get out of my way" im 5'4" also, defitnetly give me a napoleon complex haha

[@joshuadaley6531]

Cab Still looks tiny compared to ranger?

[@pilothound1582]

Am considering a hilux but the interior needs an overhaul as it’s been around for ages looks dated for 68k

[@victorodera4175]

If Hulux get everything Wildtrack V6 2022 has, then I got to change my mind and secure it as dream car, otherwise as it is, low spec technology

[@FMF5517]

Not sure if I like the carpet bed...

[@dinosaucers6704]

What happened to Nedahl?

[@phillipmarnik]

Exactly, please explain.

[@Rally4Life1982]

Utes are great for certain things. 95% of owners don't do those certain things. Mostly they are a good tax dodge.

[@carsguide]

Be assured there's plenty more Nedahl just around the corner. We're proud to introduce Kate with this review though! Cheers, Mal Flynn

[@meownmazda1]

Where is Nedahl?

[@marcbrownlie5865]

Who's paying that when the Raptor is a few grand more? The Wildtrak X is a better purchase.

[@dan57ltr]

Save $10K and get either a XTerrain or Wildtrak.

Buy a Prado cheaper and more practical.

[@realjohnboxall]

In the old days you'd just buy a station wagon. Progress, this is not.

[@robertgorman1403]

Very uncomfortable to drive. Very small interior. Centre console is far too wide causing footwell to be cramped. The footwell is so small it pushes the clutch pedal too far to the right and causes knee injury.

Tested in 2018 and couldn't drive it home , smallish, and that useless" tablet" , stiff suspension (Sr5 used to be $54k ... now with facelift over $ 66k ) bought ranger wildtrak $58k which is much better car ( Amarok best drive and that v6, sadly no back airbags ) .... just for record Ranger outsells Hilux in 4x4 configuration

Way over priced and I find the interior is cheap and crampy.

No one is buying this as a family car. Unless you need a ute , don't bother.
