  • After owning my new 2023 Toyota Hilux Rogue for a week, I found that the initial reviewers and automotive journalists missed ALOT OF CRUCIAL information about this truck. So I made a video going into extreme detail of every feature of this awesome new ute.

    Hey mate, new to the channel and honestly it’s refreshing seeing you review on points that most reviews overlook. You also talk about practicality here rather than what’s in as a trend currently and I think that’s so important for people looking for suggestions on what to buy these days. I enjoyed watching this as I have one coming in late Jan and this answered some of the questions other reviewers have missed. 👏
    By the way, if you haven’t tried it already, the lane departure control is still pulsing the breaks. Unfortunate but until they change to an electronic steering rack, that won’t change. 😊

    • @NorthOz
      @NorthOz  Před rokem +2

      Billy, thank you for taking the time to write such a nice comment. My approach with this video was to make it for someone like me who likes to know all of the ins and outs of what they are buying. I feel like big review channels just focus on a few main points and use that as their point of comparison across various vehicles. I’m glad this video helped you and thank you for subscribing 👍 I was hoping they changed the brake correction in the lane departure assist but from what you have said I’m not surprised. The 2022 Prado has the same system. They really should change that. I hope you enjoy your new Rogue, but in the mean time, I’ll be making lots of rogue videos to get you excited until yours arrives 😊

    Hi Mark, I have the exact Rogue model and the colour just pops, best Ute in the market but there are a lot of knockers, like you my last car was a Toyota ( Hilux SR5 extra cab also in red but in the super bright red. When I was looking at getting a new Hilux this time, there were many blokes saying that with the wait time, why don’t just get a ranger, but as you would know, that would be going backwards in my opinion.
    I just watched your review on the interior and exterior and thought this is the guy to follow, you shown me a thing or two that I hadn’t known about, so I’m going to keep watching and maybe get a few ideas from you.
    Keep up the good work

    • @NorthOz

      Thank you for the nice comment Michael. As you can imagine, I have a had quite a few unpleasant comments but the truth is, this is the best Ute on the market right now.

    Great looking vehicle Mark. I’m looking forward to seeing future videos. I live in Scotland and was reading today that Toyota U.K. are in the process of developing a Hilux that will run on Hydrogen. I was wondering what you think about that sort of development.

    • @NorthOz
      @NorthOz  Před rokem +1

      Thanks mate! I think hydrogen will work for a few places in the world but i think electric is more achievable at the moment. Where I live in far North Queensland, we barely have any electric charging places and electricity prices are pretty high so even that isn’t great. I’d say hybrid is a good compromise for the foreseeable future but going full hydrogen and electric just isn’t practical for most markets at the moment. Personally, I’d switch to hybrid at any point but wouldn’t rely on the alternative fuel source. Otherwise I probably wouldnt even get out of my town, let alone state haha. Interesting ideas though and there is definitely a way forward but it has to be practical and accessible to the masses

  • @Hic_81
    @Hic_81 Před 5 měsíci

    Hey mate you’re probably all over it but with the snorkel, take the air filter out and make sure you block the hole that goes to the inner guard before you do any deep crossings. For some reason Hilux has two holes, one protected with a one way rubber grommet style but then the other is just a hole with no protection. I just wrote my 2019 hilux off in a water crossing due to it sucking water through the air box even though I had a snorkel. The water wasn’t even that deep but the bow wave made it into the engine bay and that was enough. I would also suggest raising the breathers if you plan on serious crossing. I’m now looking to upgrade to a rogue thanks to your video. 👍

    • @NorthOz
      @NorthOz  Před 5 měsíci

      Sorry to hear that mate. I’ll definitely look into that. Unfortunately, blocking it all the time could cause water to enter through the snorkel so a temporary crossing solution may be the go. Thanks for the heads up and for letting others know. Cheers for subscribing 👍

    Great information on the Hilux mate 🙌🙌…have you faced any DPF issues in the city (stop & go traffic)…?Thanks in advance mate❤

    • @NorthOz
      @NorthOz  Před rokem

      Thank you for the nice comment 👍 No issues around town. I don’t do a lot of stop start traffic but I do a lot of less than 10 min drives. The DPF just starts it’s burn as soon as the vehicle is warmed up and can normally do a full burn with a few short trips. It may become a problem if you only do 5 minute trips where you would need to do a manual burn or just take it for a longer drive. No issues in stop start traffic though 🤙

    I have a Red Rogue arriving in a few weeks time. The Red was an impulse decision for me because my dealer received an additional allocation so I skipped the huge wait if I chose Red. But I've had the occasional doubts as I don't usually choose red cars as a rule. Thankfully your video has really sold me on the colour. I'm loving the look of your ute, it's mint 👌
    I'm impatient for mine to arrive now 😅

    • @NorthOz
      @NorthOz  Před rokem +2

      I was in the same boat. My dealership had 2 allocated and this was the only option but I would’ve picked it again. It stands out in a crowd and photographs well in any situation. The red a very nice shade too. Not too light and not too dark. Good choice and hopefully these videos keep you entertained until yours arrives. Well done on the purchase 👍

    • @rd6416
      @rd6416 Před rokem +2

      @North Oz Thanks 😊 It's nice to see someone excited about the Rogue too. Most reviewers just repeat the same negative speel over and over.
      Like you I also chose the Rogue over the new Ranger. I ordered the Ranger back in May but after extensive research I decided the Ranger had a few deal breakers for me. Luckily a friend picked up my V6 Wildtrak contract and he actually collected it from the dealership yesterday.
      I have no regrets. The Hilux has just the right mix of quality and functionality that gives me piece of mind.
      I'm looking forward to your Ranger/Rogue comparison video.
      Love your work. 😊

      @NorthOz  Před rokem +1

      Good to know! What were those deal breakers?

    • @rd6416
      @rd6416 Před rokem +2

      @North Oz The Ranger had many quality assurance issues.
      1. Phone connection / call quality is terrible. Sounds like you're underwater.
      2. The roof insulation is non existent so it's very noisy when it rains.
      3. Vibrating tail shaft issues causing a very large number of vehicles to be recalled. Many people are getting stranded away from home and end up out of pocket for towing, accommodation etc. 2 week plus wait for tailshaft replacement and multiple inspections.
      4. Dealerships not having required parts for repairs so if something goes wrong you're screwed.
      5. Front Grill very open with huge gaps, means anyone wanting to travel long distances rurally need to pay for a bullbar and/ or mesh solutions to protect against rocks and debris on the road destroying the cooling fins and entering the engine bay.
      6. Leaving your ranger parked in the hot sun can cause your the huge centre screen to overheat and go black until it cools which can severely compromise functionality.
      7. I don't love the quality of leather on the Ford seats. It's soft and shows wear very quickly.
      Some of these will be fixed as time goes by but they would be very annoying after paying nearly $80K for a vehicle.
      Hilux system is older sure but it all works. Happy Days.

I’ve even pulled up strangers who have the same vehicle and before I finish asking them if they’ve had problems the answer is yes!!

      @NorthOz  Před rokem +1

      Thanks Vince! It’s a tough choice. The Ford Ranger on paper has all of the comforts with more outlets in the back for usb and more technology in the cab. It depends how much you value things like resale, reliability and part availability. If you are going out bush, go with the hilux. If you are going around town with the occasional trip out of the city, go with the ranger. I need my vehicle to start first time, every time and I can’t afford to have a big depreciation hit as I rely on selling my vehicles later and getting my money back. In Toyota, you’ll always get that. Any more info on things like usage will be helpful but I’m happy with my choice with camping every few weeks and as a daily driver when my wrx is out of action

    I am in the market for a new Hilux to upgrade my current 2017 SR5, and the rogue is on the top of my list, but as I want to do a GVM upgrade I will have to wait a while for one of the big companies to make one available pre rego. And I guess there won’t be any Bullbar’s available yet either due to the wider flares Cheers Scott

    • @NorthOz
      @NorthOz  Před rokem +4

      Hi Scott. I believe the JBL option is holding up production due to the whole electronic shortage thing so that’s why mine arrived quicker than others. So I didn’t get it optioned. To be honest, the speakers are fine. With the different suspension, you’d be looking at a different kit for sure but if you ask around, I’m sure there is some cross compatibility. Or you could always get the gvm upgrade later and get it engineered. Bullbars from the last Rogue would be too narrow so we’ll have to wait and see what is available if the manufacturers support it. For me, I’m keep the suspension stock and I don’t plan on doing a bullbar. But for you, it wouldn’t hurt to ring around to places like pedders, iron man, arb etc to see what they have in production.

      Thanks mate. Congrats on the rig! What an exciting day!! Regarding the tyres, it's a difficult one as some blokes are running them fine but not all tyres are created equal. Some mud terrain brands and some all terrain brands are bigger than others for some reason and may rub. You should be pretty safe with that but definitely worth chatting to the tyre shop to see if you can test it out and bring them back if they rub.

    Hi Mark, I've just ordered a new Hilux rogue myself and couldn't agree more with your comments regarding the offset of the wheels not filling the archs.
    I am thinking 40mm bolt on spacers all round to fill the guards and improve the stance. Have you considered this? What is biggest spacer I could go with stock wheels and tires without rubbing? Your input would be appreciated, keep up the good work.

    • @NorthOz
      @NorthOz  Před 10 měsíci

      First of all, congrats on the order for the rig. That’s a big move 👍 I wouldn’t do spacers as the wider that wheel pokes, the more rocks and dirt will be flicked up the car when off-roading. If you are doing light gravel travels and mostly highway kms, go for your life. Just remember, wheels spacers aren’t legal. A lower offset rim is a better choice and can be legal if done correctly (just check your insurance will cover). You could probably do a 25mm spacer (or rim offset equivalent) to fill out the guards. You’d probably still have a bit more room to play with for a wider tyre too 👍

You can store contacts etc there too. The app on your phone is more useful and it’s called “mytoyota” and it has service interval reminders and car valuations amongst other things.

    • @NorthOz
      @NorthOz  Před rokem +1

      It depends. If you really want a new Ute then Dmax, Hilux and Ranger are probably your top options. All of which will set you back about the same if you go with the sr5 hilux. The rogue is only beneficial for more serious off-roaders with the better suspension and brakes. Otherwise, stick with the SR5, Dmax and ranger and save your money. I think Toyota make the best vehicles on the market regardless of their “aged” tech. I think this is their biggest advantage. But if you are after value, probably a base model Ford is where the value is. I hope this helps 👍
