2016 Toyota HiLux Workmate 4X4 Review | CarAdvice

- Over the past few years, we have seen the humble work ute transform into a high-tech, high-priced leisure machine.
But not everyone needs all the bells and whistles, and in the case of the 2016 Toyota HiLux Workmate, stripping away all the options, accessories and luxury appointments leaves you with what is arguably a better example of the breed.

I just love how this is simple, and great. I really prefer the black plastic, also giving a cooler look it makes you use it harder and more, so you dont worry about all those scratches etc.
While I love the big flashy pickups we have here in the US, I really wish we had a no nonsense truck on sale here. No 12 inch screen, no leather seats, and no 20 inch wheels, just a bare bones truck with crank windows and a manual transmission for dirt cheap that can take a proper beating for 25 years.
There's a fair amount of appeal of the 'UN' spec Hilux. The steel wheels look goo - although on the Fortuner it looks like someone stole your normal rims from the train station...
It’s called Tacoma Utility Package. Do more research.
@@Ryan-ez4opk, we did, not seeing the 2.4l diesel with manual transmission……..
I agree with you on that, but I'm not a really big fan of the flashy trucks that you normally see on the streets but I really wish the Hilux and Isuzu D-MAX were sold here in the states but unfortunately they can't due to certain circumstances so we just gotta work with what we got
LOOOOLL droppings on the cars guide
Well done James!
Greetings from Switzerland :)
Really enjoying the videos Caradvice are pumping out lately. Well produced, entertaining and informative. Keep it up.
Cheers Peter - thanks for watching!
Great reviews, you should really be the host of Top Gear Australia, love your reviews
Wish that style of bed came in the states
Interesting. In Germany we don't have the "workmate" spec but "duty". Duty is only available as extra cab or single cab for whatever reason. Duty has rear diff lock, too. At the moment you can only buy the 2.4L engine. Not sure if we get the bigger one also here. I got an extra cab with a slightly higher spec end of last year called "duty comfort" which should match with your SR models. I'm fine with the smaller engine. You don't win races with a ute anyhow and I'm not towing a lot. Toyota in Germany gives 17% discount if you are a hunter provided you are member in a hunting association. That at least saved me any price discussions. I've been watching your reviews prior to buying it and it helped a lot to finally make that decision. So far I didn't regret it. Thanks!
Loved the review!
Thank you, you are the best car expert
I love it :)this is something those who need a practical Dcub
Nice Review! Since I drive this one, in the european "Duty" Version, which also includes a manual diff lock, I totally agree with your statements! A lot of car for the money, nice and easy to drive, even on smaller european Roads, 100 Percent offroad capable and for sure a better Price/Performance Ratio than most of the polished Lifestyle SUVs (most of them NO serious Offroaders) on the market today. For Peope who know what they want in a car - and what they want not - this is the solution.
caradvice videos are epic and informative
I'd love to get one !
the new tundra has one of the biggest back seat room I've ever seen. three big dudes could comfortably fit. more of a family vehicle
We have the variant Toyota Hilux E 2.4L 4x4 MT in the PH but not the Workmate.. i like a basic no-frills 4x4 workhorse.. hope to get one soon
4:03 I see what you did there... HAHAHA smooth
Haha - we have no idea what you are talking about... ;)
Toyota Philippines just had their base unit diesel powerplant 4x4 released just recently but it has manual crank windows and probably a 1-DIN head unit. It does look like a UN Peacekeeping service vehicle.
In fact this is all the equipment you'll ever need! Our fathers didn't have even this but they had more fun on the road and were much better drivers!
Great point!
I honestly wish that the Hilux and Isuzu D-MAX were available here in the states, cause me and my father have our own landscaping service and having one of those trucks would be pretty nice and it would fit really perfectly with the work we usually do but unfortunately those trucks aren't available here so we gotta work with what we got
hope this version hits the PH
Hello from Indonesia!!
solid car
checking this ones out ,i really want one with the petrol engine
Hilux, #1 🏆
They've should have put that 2.4 litre diesel engine on the Fortuner alongside the standard 2.8 litre diesel engine and just make it reserved for the 4x2 versions such as the GX, GXL, and Crusade.
Ah, The Mujahideen Special :)
Not really, the 50 cal machine gun optional extra hasn't been selected on this one.
@@rock3tcatU233 the extra petral bomb, i mean storage rack isnt fitted euther
wish I could get that in the states
you get the Tacoma in the states
can you do an mitubishi triton on that version too?
I have a 2016 Hilux Prerunner (2WD high rider) 2.4 automatic here in Thailand.
I am led to understand in the specs that the manual has less torque (343NM) as opposed to 400NM in the automatic, and looking through other vehicles specs, they are the same.
Hi! Good job. By the way, what is the Model number for the 2016 Toyota Hilux Workmate 4x4? Thank you.
i fucking love it.
it would be good to see this workmate doing a tow test
I have 2018 Toyota Hilux invincible and I tow wit it and it can hold up to 2 1/2 three ton with no problem and very easy on diesel
I got a giggle out of the little dig at CarsGuide, with the carefully placed newspaper and accessory 'dung'. I'm not sure what a 'pick up' is though. In Australia we call these things 'utes'.
Anthony Brennan pick up is Ute or Bakkie or truck.
ricmar65 thanks mate I know.... it's hard to place sarcasm in text...😁
ricmar65 not in Australia dum dum. Like he said. It's a ute.
Honestly, i prefer this over the sr5 if you give me one with diff locks. You really don't need fancy accessories, and i prefer the black plastic materials than chromed ones. Give it an all terrain tire and you can go wherever you want. For the wobbly tub, put a bean bag made of tire interior stuffed with sand and you got a steady ride on the hiway.
43 k isnt much. but it being 10k off the top spec it's not a bargin.
In Canada you can get a Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road for 42 K that is a lot more truck for the money.
Marc Downing Australia =/= North America. Even Factory RHD cars are on average 20% more expensive than their LHD counterparts, and if you have to convert it to RHD here, that’s an extra 20-30k. Fuel in the countryside here often gets to $1.6 per litre for regular unleaded, $1.8 per litre for premium
Idc if hilux rolls , it's still the best
I would like it better if it had no touch screen and if it had manual windows
Wait what we got that screen in ph only this year. Wtf?? Four years late holy
Is it good for off roading
You could have loaded the bed with anything farm related. But you loaded it with sheep poop instead. You are a legend 👍🏻🤜🏼🤘🏼👌🏼
i have " TOYOTA HILUX WORKMATE REVO 2,4 L..'... it's the best (1 year = 35 000 km).....cayenne (french guyana .....macapa AP brasil 820km....5× year )...in the BR 156 ..(look BR 156 in you tub)...Easy 12 h00.
The invincible is bare... but fuckin hell i was half expecting to see wooden kitchen chairs when he opened the door...
LOL.. they don't sell this in the philippines. their base model 4x4 doesn't come with power window, steering control, LCD stereo, no power mirror.
can i mount a 20mm machine gun on it?
of course because toyota specially made hilux for mounting a 20mm and another machine guns
Why weren't Rambo using this truck in all his movies?
No one ever talks about the turbo log in these trucks or how low the torque is when moving from a stand still in 2wd.
No mention of price, is this Toyota sales spin ?
+RemusKingOfRome5 - the written review mentions price. We don't always include in videos as price can change. At the moment the 4x4 Workmate is $43k drive away.
Nice Test, how tall are you? More than 1,83 or 6ft?
6'3" - JW
Hi there, does the HiLux Workmate 4x4 comes with the auto transmission?
`you don't miss navigation because there is touch screen '
Petrol 2.7 is better option for colder climate
Cup holders lol cupholder
how mach
Known elswhere as 'The Toyota Taliban' :-)
LOL
lol every video i see on here the seats are push right back to make it look tight i have never had a problem in the back
Is the driver a midget?
lol. toyota should start making more room then some space behind the back seats would be great to see.
what is the tire size?
From factory the HiLux Workmate 4x4 was equipped with 265/65 R17 tyres on 17x7.5-inch rim.
Dpf issues and injectors
Oh..cute sheeps
Id still take an older lux any day
Trumby well buy my 07 sr5 with 315 000km on the clock so I can buy one of these
Can you show us the damn interior like the dash without yapping.
Better off with a great Wall steed, cheaper , more options, Just as good
Cars guide ha ha ha subtle
Really still 6 month servicing Toyota you must up the game a bit.
thats why they last so long
i’d rather see Hilux‘s in the US than legal weed imo
Isn't the 'Tacoma' you guys have basically a Hilux?
Jaco Potgieter it’s our version yes; gasoline engines only, made in the US (including the steel), the Chicken Tax is why we don’t have the Hilux or any of the other light duty trucks.
not bad except those seats and the leg room would be an issue for us fat ass Americans if we ever visited Australia and sat in one reason were to fat and 2 big lol
Glad you said "Pickup", anyone who says a Hilux is a ute, is wrong.
I'm okay with calling it a pickup, but NOT a truck.
Car Guide covered in crap, Jessica like theme. did I miss anything else?
This unit is not the base model
and here i am commenting in 2019 in the Ph., our top of the line hilux doesnt even have a cruise and reverse camera.Toyota Ph is the no. 1 bullshit.
That background music is irritating
🇵🇬🇵🇬,,,
Two fucking stoges.
Why do nearly all drivers of twin cab utes treat every other road user with fascistic contempt? Are they making up for some conscious or unconscious shortcoming?
remove the fucking background music
