2017 Toyota Hilux SR5 review | CarAdvice
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 01. 2017
- We know the 2016 Toyota HiLux SR5 isn’t the best dual cab in the class, because we’ve tested it against the competition not long after its initial release.
We know the styling of the all-new model polarises people - even strident Toyota fans most of whom reckon the front end especially has been beaten with the ugly stick.
We also know that the unladen ride leaves a lot to be desired - and keeps chiropractors around the country as busy as a one-legged man in an arse-kicking competition.

i'm not buying a pickup to win a race, i'm not buying a pickup to go on a road trip, i don't need entertainment systems and gucci bling bling interior. i need a reliable working machine that brings me money instead of costing me money, and that's where the hilux is the best.

So did I 😢 I got my 2.8 D Hilux Nov 23 and it just got 7000 km. Great truck 😊
The biggest thing they never talk about on any of these reviews is residual value. The Hilux may not be the best, but you know when you come to sell it it will be worth twice what any other Ute in the segment is worth. That alone makes a huge difference on why you’d pick this over a Ranger!
Mate , I've got a hilux twin cab 2007 bottom of the range with 276 000 on clock , original motor , never a problem , goes day in day out, runs as smooth as the day it was made . Toyota's , ya gotta love em !
Got the same one dude, 390, 524 KM on it and still no issues performance wise.
Reliability end of story. We buy the Hilux due to its long term Reliability and cheap operational cost. The Ford Ranger is a beautiful machine but not a reliable one. ...Respect the Customers Money...
Took the words right out of my mouth, I have my 2017 Hilux arriving in 2 weeks. Can't wait!
Nothing MADE IN AMERICA is Reliable per say!
Jon Eve Hiluxes haven't been reliable for a long time.
Nadeem Najimdeen whats America go to do with this conversation
outwestlawns lol
I really like the Hilux, but they are a bit out of my price range for a work vehicle. I ended up going for a Isuzu D-Max. Its not as flash as the Rangers or Hilux etc, but it is a work horse, and Im pretty happy with it!
Thanks for this video. I have an Hilux Cargo 2014, manual,D4D 2.5 diesel, 154000Km in Tromsø, North of Norway and I am very satisfied. Its amazing
The reason I subscribed to Caradvice, was because I wanted modest, independent, unprejudiced reviews, BUT nowadays its all about Ford Ford Ford Ranger, Ford Ranger and guess what Ford Ranger - I know its build in Australia, and that is why CarAdvice being patriotic treys to sold it to the public. Such strategy is used by the german car magazines that say that their brands are always the best. This review was pointless with all the Ford Ranger references. People buy Hilux because its reliable and you can use it for work, real work..
I am just saying what Caradvice says in its reviews, I agree with you about the Ford, but in almost every review they compare something with the Ranger.. its annoying, and it really makes me consider the unprejudiced reviews
Its because the Ranger is the benchmark ute in Australia at the moment, and that is unanimous across all media outlets. The Hilux used to be the benchmark and a few years ago all reviews would be Hilux, Hilux, Hilux... but that's just not the case anymore. Anyways, apparently the Ranger might be really good but has very poor reliability and Ford in general has a very poor reputation in Australia at the moment as well, even though most of their cars are highly regarded.
Искрен Димитров so if a car consistently comes out as a better choice for consumers then its patriotic and biased?
I would have brought one of these in an heartbeat but when I went to test drive it at 6foot 4 inches(in metric thats f ing tall) couldn't get comfortable my legs were up against the steering wheel and i'm not fat, also here in the UK we get a smaller engine, ended up with a Navara of which I must say i'm very pleased with two years in to ownership, really theres no such thing has a bad pickup anymore just that some are a little bit better than others.
My 2006 Toyota Tacoma, the American equivalent of Hilux, has now 187,000 miles on the odometer, and still works great. Got a 2.7 L gasoline engine under the hood. The bed is 6 feet long, while the Hilux in the video looks like 5 ft.
Here in US Ford Ranger comes with a 10 speed automatic gearbox, I'm really curious how long will they last...
new shape looks good ,the interior and the headlights are awesome...looks sportish
With the current face of the Ranger, I like the look of the Hilux more.
good review like the intro good info
Funny thing about 4wd utes is that is not all about power, or looks, it's part of it but the Hilux overall does everything well and has the reputation and backup service and reliability that people love. Ford and VW etc dont. I reckon it was a bit rough on the road too when new, but it softens over time. Overall i like the Hilux as an all rounder and at about 52k nowadays (SR5) its a good buy .
Hello my friend. Thanks for share this fantastic video. I am on process to buy an Toyota hill 2016
honestly, this brand is the best and reliable
personally i like it
Ford rangers are shit...
unfortunately I own one - never again!
Shit, my mates love theirs
what year?
2012... should've waited for series 2.
got a 2012, it has had troubles even before i got it, it was 2 years delayed :(
With your mazda motor in that piece of shit 😂
the hilux is far better than the ranger. you cant get any better than the best selling car in australia
Way better. ford give to much engine problems the meaning of ford is
F-FIX
O-OR
R-REPAIR
D-DAILY
Ford vehicle always breaking down
I do not regret spending 60k on this ute its the best ute ever no wonder why they call it unbreakable.
Lol another fooled by marketing campaign. 60K and i bet ypu have not even no reverse sensors no power and shit fuel economy.
I bet if i got a baseball onto it it will no be unbreakable. False advertisement. 5 years behind all the other car makers. It seems just like this video its all about selling it as reliable as there isnt much amazing about them. My arse the new ones are full promblems
HAAHAAHAH your just a hater because u cant afford one ive had mine for 3 years its been through hell and back and till now i have only serviced mine no problems so get your facts right you probably don't even own one.Go buy the Mercedes ute its very reliable ahhaah@@endzmeetmusic9053
Yep, $51,500 on plate clearance on a facelifted June 18 SR5, absolutely fantastic vehicle. Will have it for years to come. Extremely reliable, drives well and is a weapon on the tracks.
Long live the Mighty Hilux/SR5 the one in my Profile pic is a 2007 SR5 with 140000Ks an goes great off road it has no Fancy lockers or any thing rides on 28s has Geolander Geo 15 tyres on it and it great on an off road an goes great too
Toyota hilux is the best in the competition they last forever 😍😍 especially the new frant end it is perfect and the technology on the inside is the best 😍😍😍 can get any other competitor
NO THE FRONT OF IT LOOK'S EPIC
Can anyone please tell me how to get the oil maintenance data incomplete message of my dash? I have tried the usual holding the odometer button in and pushing the start button twice
A fly flew into his eye in the intro 😮😮😮
i wish we have tacoma in Australia
Great ute. Thumbs up.
The fly actually landed on his eye lol
Steve irwins beloved truck was a hilux
please do a review for ssangyong actyon!
Seriously surprised that no one seemed to have swapped out the Hilux front end with the Fortuner's. :/ It would improve the front end a great deal
top idea, but costly !
A lot of people in the NT buy the Hilux and use them off road all the time. They buy them because mechanics like them and know how to work on them. Thats about it really
I got the ranger xlt last year and I'm so happy with the decision I went with
Is your ranger still going or have you had problems?
Is your Ranger still driving?
"TOYOTA doesn't break!" That's what they say in my country
Is it just me I don't know much about trucks or something like movement (chassis twist) of the truck bed compared to the cabin is a lot at 0:15 - 0:20 and at 6:28 ? I mean I know they are separate but still.
There is a audio issue - sound cuts out - 6:10 to 7:45 - can @drive please fix this?
can you do a parjero review please
This video was published a full 9 months before they took away the engine that actually will reach 500,000km, yet not one mention of it (apart from a brief shot of it's engine cover) in the entire review, no wonder they never sold enough to keep it.
What's that? Are they still running an engine that can reach 500,000km?
@3:48 just like a grandson taking his grandpa for a walk
if ford hadn't pulled out the guns for the Ranger....the hilux would still have a 4 speed auto.
How to repair lower ball joint hi lux 4x4 2016
I’ve had 4 new hiluxs from 89 95 99 to current nothing has changed under powered.my Isuzu d max has 7000000 on it nothing done Toowoomba diesel still has not done a rebuild on one.heaps of td4 hilux prados but...
i can't but notice the fly.
I would go for this over normal ford ranger models anytime. However the best is still wildtrak
Is it me or does the rear tub flex when he's off road at 6.30
yeah it does
How the on earth do people afford this beast :(
Trumby I don't like your name, because it looks too similar to "Trump"

car of choice for ISIS lol
😂
see, this hilux has been hauling bands of militans for corachi to the cryber pass and its a 1978 and you know its never had maintenance done, if it can survive that it can take just about anything
I think the Hilux singlehandedly gets the credit for getting ISIS as far as they've come. Not agreeing with them, I believe Toyota products do help insurgent groups to survive longer than expected. A good way to fight them should be to dry them out of these extremely reliable products
Car of choice for Thai and Manila? UNMARKED GOVERNMENT VEHICLE
definitely a freakin good endorser for pickup trucks haha
Does anyone know why this vehicle isn't sold in the USA? I wonder if I can ship it, to the USA?
you have tacomas ya dog
The cynicism is laid on thick in this so called review. People aren't as stupid as you make them out to be, people can buy an vehicle they like, but in many cases especially in light commercials people just want it to work. You car journos can swan around in other peoples stuff as much as you like, but when it comes to an ownership proposition people tend to go for a safe prospect.
Exactly. Buying an 50-60K vehicle is a very involved decision. The reviewers only ever seem to mention long term reliability and ownership costs in passing. Not to mention the Ranger has multiple well known faults for years that ford has refused to iron out. At least VW has rectified most of the issues they had initially with the Amarok. My old man has had an 07 sr5 for 10 years, over 300K kms and only now has he had to do anything (replace a seal on the front diff), everything else is original. So he'll probably buy another Toyota to replace it (eventually) and who would blame him?
mattheginger the journalists often are hypnotised by the latest and greatest, the spec sheet, and to be honest it isn't that surprising as they jump in and out of other people's vehicle constantly, even their long term test vehicles only stay for a few months at most, so it's totally different to actually buying and owning something. I have a hilux as a work vehicle and it gets a very hard time carrying near its capacity constantly, towing, driving off road, it has had a few repairs but nothing major, but I struggle to think of another vehicle that could do the job it has done.
It looks different from all of the competition who are just too similar looking.
Absolutely right! But with the newest model of the Hilux is has unfortunately come another step closer to its competition in terms of design :(
I do .
this video is just one big insult, lol
Hilux the best 👏
north america is missing out bad, my 2015 4L tacoma needs a diesel swap!
Hilux good for rd and wading deep flooded rds rutted icy rds can damage half shaft seals
how much is this ?
i need to get one
Starts at 60k
To your comment at the beginning we do.. In Belize. we use it in the bush..
43 ford kuga / escape caught fire in south Africa google it and ford is not recalling it one person dead
this is just stupid. we took our 2.4 2018 hilux into the bush and moved 1 ton of cows on a 300kg unbraked trailer with 600kg of cow feed in the bed and the hilux was an absolute star. braking was prefect, the nose wasnt pointing up at all (and keep in mind the car is fully stock. suspension and engine bar work and stuff) it was the manual 6 speed
six sigma, quality,
Actually Toyota say they did research and 100% of Hilux owners have taken their vehicle off-road.
Background music was too loud...had to strain my ears
Reliability end of story
moose test?
lucky no moose in Australia
Isuzu dmax at 4:36 - real man's car (y)
sauberbeast dmax is shit
dmax is the king, your 4x4 corrola hilux is shit :)
sauberbeast I dont have a hilux or corrola. I have a fucking beast holden colorado! Its the best! And dmax will always be shit like you!
sauberbeast Dude i swear ive seen you before in another car advice vid where we argued about a Isuzu mu-x and a holden colorado7
haha holden colorado - you better sell that piece of shit when its out of warranty else you will be crying all the way to the bank, just a tip ;)
The Hilux is just a fucking LEGEND! Talk shit about it, do whatever you want, we don't give a fuck, no other vehicle have survived a test as the one the top gear did to the hilux, neither other vehicle have reached the attic circle or an active volcano, simple but the true! Pd. I was forgetting the Dakar, Hilux beat serious ass over there also!
because everyone straps a truck to a roof of a building and implodes it quite a common test .
ROLL-OVER death trap!
Didn't they fix that after 2016?
Here in my country we have primarily have Asian manufactured vehicles. Anything American or European would be way too expensive to bring in.
Ppl just need to stop being jealous of the hilux owner.. simple
I have the new sr 4x4 hilux space cab awesome ute. The thing that shits me they say its no good to drive around town put some weight in the back its fine.. its a 4x4 not a fucking suv. take out on a dirt track up the beach smooth as. they new that when they tuned the suspension. lets see how long all the other 4x4s last...
its a 4x4
it's the bomb 4x4 one of the best work and hard work trucks ever made.
Honestly, still under powered in my opinion, moved to the v6 and haven't looked back
anyone see the fly land on his eye
Every car magazines,tv shows, internet reviewers don't know the term reliability.
🤦♂️
Facts
Go with holden colorado or trailblazer! 10 times cheaper then than hilux and ranger, anyway the trailblazer and colorado can tow 3500 kg
I got a new sr5 hilux and I'm a farmer and the ute get the crap beaten out of it. The hilux is a reliable ute.
cause sr5 looks better than most other hilux
Is this bloke for real?? Not sure where he is based but down here in Tassie where the roads are tough going at the best of times, owning a Toyota is a sensible choice.
Why spend practically the same money on a competitors vehicle when you can have peace of mind that only Toyota owners have?!
He also forgot to mention resale value, let’s wait 15-20 years and see if these ford rangers and Volkswagen’s are still on the road let alone selling for decent money.
There’s good reason that a 1999 Toyota HiLux with low kms will sell for $15k.
Car Advice please give us relevant car advice.
Yours Truly, a Volkswagen owner that has replaced parts and repaired his 2010 year vehicle far too many times.....
I once took my Ford to the dealership to have a few minor things fixed, one of which were broken clips holding up the rear bumper, another was a faulty brake light sensor, and some other minor thing. They charged $70 'diagnostic fee' for each problem.... all of which are were intuitively obvious.. what a rip off, would struggle to justify a Ranger because of that alone
is it an "embarrassment" if you everday drive the Hilux? and use it normally not only for "real" work?
Really you have a problem with the drivers who in your opinion don't use it as it should be their choice how they use it seeing it's their money but in a nut shell it's good just the drivers who cause you the problem weird
To answer your question in the beginning about who takes their $56,000 Hilux and bashes it off road i would say many people in 3rd world countries who can afford them like most south and central American countries
Landcruisers are well over $50k and plenty are taken off road too
bebo 138 I own a 2016 3.0 srv in Nicaragua it cost me $41k, over here there's no option but to take it through rivers, mud trails and over trees, to name a few things. I've added a bull bar with a winch, a roll bar, and a snorkel, I'm from San Francisco California and a lot of people on CZcams complain about how this truck is not available in the states, this truck is slow, I couldn't imagine driving around California freeways in the hilux
Arnaldo gonzalez yea i understand what you mean. My uncle from Honduras owns one and yea its slow but its not the old Hilux slow. Also when im in Nicaragua i see people all the time blaze right past me in the carretera norte in them (even though they are not supposed to be passing most of the time)
you forgot to say it's harder to destroy than a Nokia 3310
Needs a bigger engine, v6 4.0L
how about colorado?
The best hilux years were from the 80s to 2005 after that they had modern shit
would rather buy a ranger
I bought one used a few months back, a work mate had a dig at me for paying so much for a bush basher. Yes that's right a bush basher, I cut my own firewood with forestry permits to keep the family warm. He said I was stupid. I simply said as stupid as the bloke thats got one to crawl through the mall?. I bought it to work, simple.
We all know that most utes can do all you mentioned cheaper
One of their worst reviews. Didn't mention the moose test at all I'm so glad I upgraded from a kun26 hilux (which I liked) to a Wildtrak and not this one test drive showed how little improvement they made from the previous model
Great ute piss off the BMW motor the 2.8 LT and the white smoke that you see them blowing and it might be a better ute then the Ranger the Ranger is a better ute and for towing .
'Could've put pedals instead of an engine' they basically did on this heap of shite, ever since the d4d was released Toyota has been miles behind the competition
hi Tacoma 2.0
justin bouche baby tacoma😂
:)
hints the 2.0
look, people buy them because they're cheap to run, ie, very, very low maintenance costs.
the front bumber is great for water-crossing.. it's not about the looks but performance in off-road, besides Moose Tests are for drunk idiots who'd go for steering clear before Breaking
Hilux
the cost of hilux is too much compare to spec.......
Toyota are dinosaurs. Great buisness model. Also getting 600km off a 80 ltr tank is embarrassing in 2018 when the Amarok gets 1000k on highway driving. Also forking out 63k for a rugged x and reverse sensors lol
130 kw V6 lol
do a moose test XD
Australia got the shit end of the stick on this one. That thing is horrid to look at.
It shouldn't be considered offensive but I have observed that the national of any English Speaking Country will appreciate FORD vehicles and declare them comparably the best vehicle in the world.
The judgement should not be baized. It is deception. I have seen so many Vauxhalls and FORDs catching fires on the road due to electric problems and I have also seen a Toyota Corolla starts and move after rolling five times down a hill.
Good but severely overpriced for what it is - 'only' $52,000??!! They ain't THAT good.. And Toyota has a LOT to learn about style!
Simon Vance actually $54,990 for special price at moment. I just got one for $53,990.😅
It's true what he says about HILUX owners, you know.
