Tested in the outback! (Toyota Hilux 2022 review)

- The Toyota Hilux is often the best-selling ute in Australia on the back of both fleet sales and private sales - but ordinary buyers love the Ford Ranger, too. Is the Hilux still the default dual-cab to buy? It’s expensive, especially in as-tested 2022 Hilux Rogue spec ($70,200), but do you get value for money with the Hilux? Does it suit outback driving as we’re doing in this test?
In today’s episode of Chasing Cars, deputy editor Nathan Ponchard tests the 2022 Toyota Hilux Rogue dual-cab 4WD ute in outback Australia. The Hilux Rogue competes with the Ford Ranger Wildtrak, Volkswagen Amarok Aventura, Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain, Mazda BT-50 GT and others.

Thanks CC for the honest appraisal - I’ve owned Subarus for most of my life but after a few attempts at outback touring I decided to opt for a more suitable vehicle and having been spoilt by reliability, solid build and a good Subaru WRX service culture I researched over 6 mths while cycling through Germany and Scandinavia - Toyota kept rising to the top for all of my criteria and the Hilux came first and Troopcarrier second - Hilux won for it’s auto transmission and versatility- I got back from Europe just before COVID buying a 2010 SR dual cab diesel - I’m speechless for how good this thing is and it even has ABS and steering wheel controls for the infotainment system all for only $18k - canopy build next for 2022 TAS to FNQ trip - John in SA
Noosa Hilux - love it Ponch. I’ve just traded a 2017 SR-5 manual with 110,000 country and outback kms. It had Old Man Emu BP51 suspension which improved the ride massively. It saw a lot of corrugations yet the body and interior were as tight as a drum after 100,000 hard kays. The original 2.8 wasn’t quick but plodded along well once up to speed and felt so much stronger than the 3lt D4D Prados we had before. AND, I traded it for $40k.
Another great review Ponch,, informative and to the point but always with a touch of sarcastic humor thrown in….very refreshing….……all four wheels off the ground and you barely skipped a beat apart from an “oh yeah” and then you rolled on with what you were saying. Keep it up.
Love the Noosa comment as l live there, just ordered an 23 SR5, currently have an 2011 SR5 which has been to the gulf and across the Plenty to Alice Springs, hope the new one will be as comfortable at 130 on the dirt as the old one is.
Good Review but did not talk about the tub at all. Specially Roller Shutter and Carpet. Can it keep dust out of tub by doing all that?
I,M 62 and i hve desided to sell meTroopie (sad) but i need comfort - I looked at all the hilux range and have choosen the SR - what i save on the added extras - i can fit the SR out to suit our way of life - Great review by the way
Thank you, have ordered and waiting patiently for a 2022 GX Fortuner. Ordered the GX version over an Isuzu MU-X for all the reasons you said. Thanks again as confirmed my road test and feelings.
Good clip. Have recently had both of these cars. Build quality of Hilux much better but found the tune weird if backed off throttle before it hit next gear. Wish the hilux had isuzus motor and vibration free one piece drive shaft
I'm getting this
Great review, but I think the pricing is ridiculous.
its 1 million in turkey :(
Great car but the roller shutter is fitted by EGR and is known to be faulty within first few months of use…
I've always preferred the tabletop at the back with handy tie rails running along the bottom. Tub backs are too small and pretty useless.
I love the current Hilux, but as a working class guy who lives in a unit with one garage, the Hilux in this form won't fit inside it. Why does every generation have to get longer than before? The only model I can buy is the single cab with the reduced length tray.
Is there an all new model arriving next year? I heard something along those lines.
I’m looking forward for Ford wildtrack 3.0 V6 2022 likely coming with 258HP and 580NM. This will lead all of the utes. (VW+Ford)
I'd rather a little less power with a bulletproof hilux than an unreliable ford with a bit more power and torque tbh
70K???? is that like 30k in non aussie real money?
70k for a 7 year old body come on Toyota that's ridiculous!
Good good value. If you don't like the price you can always do cheap and Chinese...🤣
@@danielbredenkamp3957 it's overpriced, 7 year old chassis is hardly good value also it's built in Thailand which is just as cheap or cheaper than China.
@@Big_Yin your view...a big chunk of the market thinks differently. You are welcome to buy your cheap and Chinese, though😂😂
75k now
@@danielbredenkamp3957 you do know items are being scalped in this current market, you'd need to be really stupid to feed the scalpers.

I have to ow a hilux soon best ride
Sounds like a 7min42second Toyota add.
Wow, very critical ad
Long legacy
The short bed isn’t great
This car is clearly aimed at selected cashed up tradies. What’s more interesting is that reviews like this are justifying this kind of price for a car that let’s be honest is not worth more than $29,990. Cost of living is going up and up and yet people continue to fork out thousands of unnecessary dollars to companies like Toyota.
Rather seems that you probably can't afford it...there is cheap and Chinese if you don't like the Hilux's price...and clearly there is no lack in demand for it.
@@danielbredenkamp3957 I just don’t understand where 75k price comes from when lets say Mazda BT 50 is just over 50k and it has much better interior and features…. Looks to me that extra 20k is a 👋 status i you know what I mean hahah All hod, Toyota is good,if people are paying why not! I would put price up to 100k and charge!
@@goran2009 in my view the market will dictate if pricing is too high...it will simply not sell and that is not the case with Hilux at this point
What do you work as ?
@@danielbredenkamp3957 sure you have plenty of money then. Who cares lol. Go buy an m5. Lol
ما شاء الله 👍
Looks like your about to roll that car in the scrub somewhere!
70k ?? Does anyone have Toyota's HQ phone number, someone should call them and tell them they're dreaming!!!!
Sold out with a 12 month waiting list. Can't be dreaming that much.
@@iguanagoat799 plenty of idiots buy the rouge sticker pack.
Just good brainwashing advertising sucks people In
The envy of some people… If you can’t afford it, then don’t hate.
@@butler38510 ***Hilux simp entered the chat***
Show me an SR for $53,000 CC and I’ll buy it… I’m getting quoted $59
I got my SR for $47,676 all on road costs. Sky Silver paint. In February this year at Adelaide. I used my ABN to save $3,300.
This is $90,000 in Israel. Dollars
No thank you. 190kw and 580nm German engineering still.sounds better to me.😊
all black inside and feels cool,... then I stopped watching,... can we please get an honest car review on CZcams one day.
What a strange bone to pick.
@@chasingcars Yes, sorry but having just been in one with black leather seats on a 35 degree day well,... :- 1. burnt my neck on the red hot seat belt buckle, 2. Burnt my legs and arms on the red hot black leather seats,... hotter then the 1970s black vinyl cars, 3. could not breath from the fumes coming from the vapours coming from the leather and trim. The whole inside is very dark with a claustrophobic feel and there is a very dangerous optical lag coming from focussing on the dark instruments and cabin electronics back to the bright outside light. In addition the dark inertia makes it difficult to locate personal items on the floor and seats which becomes a feel by touch location technique. Also the the piano black trim has a distractive reflective surface,... piano black, seriously its 2022. The Toyota Hilux used to come with a light grey trim that was very serviceable and more suited to the Australian climate. Yes I could have let you keep the bone if you had mentioned one of the above,... but to come out with " Its Black inside but not as hot as others",... we are talking about an $80K vehicle that comes in any colour as long as its black,...tell it as it is. You are an Australian true shooter with a vast vehicle knowledge people look up to you.
I am sure they are not $70k in third world Asian countries. We are being ripped off. You didn't mention the class action against Hilux faulty engines. Please give a full and honest report.
Lost me at fake stitching lol
Good value???? Its an old piece of shit.
....which is selling like hotcakes and which keep its value...
@@danielbredenkamp3957 you've literally replied to every comment in the thread, Hilux simp.
@@danielbredenkamp3957 A sucker is born every minute
@@justinmorton7693 yeah, very true😂
Still got the same piece of shit diesel engine.
You mean rather strong, reliable and torque laden engine...💪
Nahh its been upgraded, go and educate yourself before commenting ya bogan
Why oh why is the automatic version being reviewed or road - tested over the manual transmission all the time. Nobody wants to see or hear about an automatic 4 wheel drive vehicle of this nature because the whole driving experience is literally lost in an automatic vehicle as a result of handing over your self autonomy by choosing to act as if you are disabled when you are clearly not. ? 🦼
Nobody wants to hear about automatic, yet 95%+ of sales of these variants are automatic. That doesn’t add up.
