I owned the previous generation Toyota Hilux. It was bumpy and noisy but it got the job done. And, with my country's tax regime, it's extremely expensive so I was very happy with the resale value that Toyota has. I have a few friends who own the Ford Ranger, but one year on, they want to sell it. I am not saying anything, but Toyota holds its value pretty well. It's not just the design, but the long-term mileage, maintenance, etc ... which makes this truck a real gem. I just got the new redesigned Toyota Hilux (from Thailand) and the vehicle is everything I expected and more. The insides are more car-like now and if you're upgrading from an old Hilux, it's very luxurious and comfortable. The outside is big and bulky and real work-man-like but also sleek. I have had many heads turning as I drove home from work. All in all, a very very nice truck. I will be using this as my work truck for 10-15 years. Cheers from Bhutan
Watching it now 4 years later, I thought the review was rubbish. It didn't really tell you anything except the two vehicles are virtually the same with different badges.
3 Years ago I was in the market for a new bakkie and decided to go for the Ford because it was just the better option at the time. I'm a big Toyota fan since childhood, but the old Hilux did not compare well against the new Ford at the time. I'm very happy and love my Ranger. No problems so far and service is great at Ford Porters Auto in Cape Town. The Hilux is back but if they were 3 years earlier I would have probably gone for the Hilux and not the Ford. Now I'm so happy with my Ranger that it will take some convincing to change back. Also the service interval for the Hilux is 10000km where the Ranger is 15000km. I like the look of the new Ranger over the Hilux as well. I wish Toyota did a better job with the styling because that nose kills me.
+Visual Flights Thanks so much for the comment, it's always great to hear from owners. Keep in touch and let us know how your ownership experience goes.
So far the Ford has been good. Going for almost 4 years and 90000km without any problem. Don't be brand loyal, you never know what will happen in the future. Look at all the loyal Zuma supporters being forced to stay loyal by their own doing. I'll will buy any brand that is the best on the day. All these bakkies fighting to be king is good for us consumers. Who knows what my next bakkie will be, depends who is the king on that day.
No ways Ciro, you committed the ultimate motoring journo sin: having a car vs car story, and then concluding that it is too close to call. By your own admission, the Ranger is more powerful, feels sturdier, has better rear legroom and has more useful ports and the powerful Sync 2 system (we all know Toyota's multimedia systems have always been lacking), and you still consider it a close thing? The quality of the interior is nowhere near close either: the Ranger honestly takes it by a mile, although I'll hand it to Toyota for definitely being better than the outgoing model. For me you can tell a lot about a car just by opening its door, and I was underwhelmed with the light door-opening action of the new Hilux. Maybe having a lightweight vehicle is good off-road, but it goes against the whole uber-masculine chest-thumping reason most men buy 4x4s. Regardless, I think you've sold out a little on the biggest competition in the local market, and it wouldn't hurt to re-test and confidently state your own winner.
Will personally stick to my Hilux no-matter what others say , like a few of you mentioned Hilux resale value is always good than Ranger and Hilux last for ever
Nice review. I test drove both on the weekend. I found the hilux drove more like a car and the ranger more like a truck. Both great vehicles but i would give it to the hilux for styling and the stereo is much clearer and more powerful than the Ranger.
Well, here in America, we dream about landing our hands on a Hilux or a J70 Land Cruiser. That Ford Ranger does not even exist in our radar. Toyota, Harley Davidson, Mercedes Sprinter, and full size diesel trucks are vehicles that hold their value really well.
I've just bought a Ranger XLT, made in Argentina. 7 airbags, ISOFix, ESP, etc. and a 5-year garantee, Against the Hilux's 3-year garantee and 4 airbags. Though I also think the higlux is better looking than the ranger, and it also looks better quality in the interior, the Ford is more powerful and more sophisticated. The tuch screen in the Toyota is old and does not respond immediatly to the touch. It also lacks Android Auto on it. The screen on the ranger reacts instantaneusly, it contains Microsoft Sync 3, Apple Car Pay and Android Auto. It has voice control even for the air conditioning, which by the way, is dual, whereas in the higlux is not. Just some things to mention...
For core 4WD features, go for hilux. Unbeatable. For toughness and extreme safety, go for ranger. This is from a guy (+3 others) who came out alive and unscratched from a 5 times rolling mishap in a Ranger. Truck was totalled but we are all alive. They mean it when they say Rangers are "Built Tough".
Wow...Well done Ciro. I think this is one of the most impressive reviews from you. I grew up with my dad's Toyota but if I were to buy a D/C myself i'd choose the Ranger all because it appeals to me more than the Toyota does.
Yeah for sure! Douchebag. That's why there is a mass class action for the Toyota Hilux with failing DPF. Google it to see in Australia. The modern Toyota Hilux is a total failure, buy one before they installed a DPF and you'll be right. But no, they are not reliable. That's why there is a class action and why Toyota has admitted the DPF is a massive issue in the Hilux (Landcruiser not affected )
The ford ranger may be better than the hilux .. But is always gonna be left in the dust by Australia's favourite work mate (79 series Toyota Land Cruiser work mate)
Great review, is suppose the next review needs to be the Fortuner vs the Everest. I must say the Ford does look better for me (interior and exterior) - but as you said...subjective; although I am not big Ford fan.
+Leon Claassen How? If you look at the top of the Range models the Everest is R150 000 more expensive. So it compete's with the Prado. Not the Fortuner. Also there is a new prado on the way so no point really.
Driven both to its limits the ranger has the edge... Also better gear ratios for fast pace winding cambered rough terrain.. Left the Toyota in the dust..
You talking about the flaming Rangers, when there not catching fire lol. Have the edge I agree they have the edge, have not seen a hilux on a Sydney freeway on fire lol.....
I had hilux, and its really good, but engines are not so powerful, so i bought a new ranger and can't wait to drive it, i do had a l 200 to, with this one the misery never ended so i sold it
The joke is thinking it's not like that. Quite insulting comparing a mediocre Volkswagen to a Toyota, my apologies but you better face the reality. My suggestion is, try to resell your Amarok before losing more value, sure you can find a 2005 Hilux with what you get, good deal.
Toyota is going through a class action for massive failures in the DPF for all modern Hilux with the 2.8 diesel in Australia. Check it out before buying one. They have admitted the DPFs are faulty.
Totally agree that the two brand options are very close.., how ever I have to say that the Ranger looks like a truck that means business and it also has a drive train that is both more powerful and also proven.., where as the Hilux really does look like a car trying to be a truck, Toyota across the board really seem to have gone off the rails when it comes to vehicle design lately.., and as for being the best part of half a litre down in cubic capacity that is significant, in my eyes I was taught that it is by far way more sensible to have a larger engine working more relaxed rather a smaller engine under more stress trying to make similar output levels.... you wouldn't place a 13 litre 550 in a triple Road Train when you can have a 16 litre 600 to 750 would you... would you..??
The hilux looks like the future .. The ford ranger looks like a girls version of the f150 raptor .. The hilux being slim and lighter gets through everything much easier than the oversized overpriced bogan ute ( ford ranger ) and in the end the 79 series work mate land cruiser leaves the ford ranger in the dust.
+Landcruiser is bae you dumbfuck.., you have just proven again how much you have been reaming yourself with that Toyota dildo... I think you need to remember that this video was a test between the Hilux and the Ranger at approx $50,000 each and not the Landy 70 series at more like $90,000+..!! yes of course the 70 series would be better than the Ranger, but at twice the price I would fucking hope so..!! the comparison here is the Ranger and the Hilux, and speaking from our experience with a working 2012 Ranger in the bush every day ( not a gay street toy ) that now has near 170,000km on the clock with nothing but normal servicing and NO breakages I think it speaks for itself... so go back to your bedroom and lube yourself up again tugger and have another go.... hahahahahahahah.... ps - don't bother coming back again unless you have some real 4x4 experience to share because I love messing around with little keyboard warriors like you that think they know what they're talking about... hahahaha.
+hootizzz alright mate .. Wait till you get that little African truck stuck and you open your mouth to the hilux that was gonna pull your little smart ass out .. Your more up tight and biased than Kim Kardashians fucking sweat pants .. The hilux doesn't have to prove itself because everyone knows it's the most trustworthy strongest most hard working ute on the market .. You wanna talk about 4x4ing yet you probably stay on the trails .. Try backtracking through the Nullarbor plains than come back to me. I already won this when you started with the hate comments on a truck you've probably never driven .. And the base model 70 series land cruiser is around 50k jackass so close your little ford supporter ass and shove a commodore dildo down your throat.
+Landcruiser is bae hahahaha... again and again and again you continue to prove how much you use that Toyota dildo..!! I told you to come back with hard out hard facts and examples.., but instead you just try your luck out on some insults which only prove that you look at photos of Kim K while you are using that Toyota dildo..!! also I would suggest you go do a bit more homework on the pricing, a 70 series the spec we require with crew cab etc is $86k + tax where the Ranger ( and the Hilux for that mater ) are just over the $50k + tax mark.., so when you get your drivers license and your dad lets you have a drive of his Hilux come back then and we will continue this little discussion... hahahaha..... you little warriors are so much fun... ps - there is nothing to win here, I just like seeing little tuggers like you get so defensive over something they have no idea about, but think that they do... have a great day...
+hootizzz my dad has a Toyota Land Cruiser 200 series land cruiser vx 2016 model and before that he had a Toyota Prado 150 series 2011 model .. I don't know where you got the thought he had an hilux .. Maybe one of your stupid assumptions again .. Fact is the ford ranger is a shitty Mazda BT-50 and the hilux is a slimmer ,lighter ,trusted ,stronger ,stylish and a lot more durable .. And I never said the ford ranger was complete shit but it is a completely different style of ute .. And has a lot more weight and that gives it it's downfall on the 4x4 tracks. And hell I was in the backseat of me dads mates ford ranger and it is the hardest most uncomfortable cheapest looking interior I've ever seen .. And that's on a dirt road .. But going through the ford's (ford is a platform across a river ,stream that you can drive/walk across - I know your stupid so that's what it is) which were overflown because of heavy downfall was no challenge for the heavy ass ford ranger.
Hilux Reliable Long Enduring High Power to Weight Ratio Lovely interior Lovely frontal and overall look carries same weight as the Ford! Why even choose the Ford??
As long as BOTH keep using drum rear brakes and not considering that a pick up trucks must have a complete braking system with 4 WHEELS WITH DISC BRAKES AND A 4 CHANNEL ABS SYSTEM, I will always prefer a Ford F150 or an American Chevy Colorado Turbo Diesel. Drum brakes are not as safe as disc brakes and always require more maintenance.
From the Jamaican perspective individually. Toyotas a'rent what they used to be, the marketplace is pretty balanced and I'd say Toyota is lagging behind, "losing their touch". Since the release, Ive seen a few Hiluxs but far more Rangers then Amaroks. Jamaican conditions are rough Ive seen plenty of the previous generation of ute; mostly Tritions, D-Maxs and Rangers. The hiluxs are plagued with electrical issues and dont hold up under real working conditions. I say the D-max, then the Triton for reliability. Anyways The Ranger is a superior vehicle overall.
+Btoplus hastam I tend to agree with you on that one Toyota has the better resale value, but I also agree that ford needs some time on that one because I heard that some people mentioned that ford is planning to move all building and production of the ranger and the everest to SA to insure a cheaper sale price.
Jaco Ras Yes more local production, more trim levels in Ranger and new Everest and by 2018 a new 3.0 JLR sourced 240 bhp diesel,10 speed AT too is on the way, SO Ford has got its work going far beyond what some can imagine about Ford
Interesting matchup. Here in 2020 in USA the Ranger has been on sale for just under 2 years (yes, except for the engine and transmission, we got this same Ranger as a " new " 2019 model.) Only one engine/transmission here: 2.3 EcoBoost petrol engine mated to a 9 speed automatic. The Toyota? We used to get the HiLux here, then Toyota came up with the North American only (?) Tacoma. In 2021 the Tacoma will see a re-design, the first in...? For all intents and purposes, there are 2 engines but 1 transmission on offer: a 2.7 inline 4 cylinder and a 3.5 V6, both petrol. Ostensibly, you have the choice of an automatic or manual transmission, but the manual with the 4 cylinder is next to impossible to specify while the V6 with manual is a tiny bit easier to specify...but the manuals will probably " disappear " for 2021. Oddly(?), the ability to buy a manual trasmissioned Tacoma can depend on which region of the country you live in. And yes, a used Tacoma can sometimes fetch as much as a new one if it is less than 2 years old and well cared for.
Hi guys. Details from Malaysia Ford ranger does look very impressive but the customer Service here are terrible. Their nothing compared to Toyota Centers. Plus the wildtrek is a complete waste. It's too expensive that 90percent of the users might not need that extra power. Also it's too electronized. In my personal opinion I just never liked cars which is to electronized. Toyota hilux 2016 is almost near perfection. Not as powerful as the ford, but it definitely has a better resale value here. Most people I know feels Toyota hilux is more reliable in the Long run. Again on my personal opinion, pick up trucks are suppose to be rough and tough, that's it's identity, it's an experience. But now, it feels soft.
Will be buying the wild trak soon, the safety feature of ranger is more important than resale value, as for Ford have terrible resale value?, the same goes for BMW, Audi, Volvo, and yet still there are so many of those on the road, that's expected when you drive continental cars
Your next video should be a battle between the top of the range KIA Sorento with a LandRover Discovery 4. I know these cars are very different but you can get a very good second hand Disco for R692,000 which is the price of the Sorento. So shoot.
The minute he said "no more mucking about with a lever" to engage 4x4 I had a mini thromby. What the hell is so difficult about moving a lever? In my experience the freakin button can take longer to engage 4x4 than "mucking about with a lever." Has the world gone mad?! Rant over.... Sorry. Having said that, I actually really enjoyed the review. Very nice.
The pick up market is looking better every year.I personally prefer the the Ranger but just because i a Ford loayalist and i admit that the Hilux goes toe to toe and leaves nothing to prove.
Even though my American opinion from America may not count for much I'm gonna give it anyway. To me it comes down to not enough difference to be worth the extra money for the ford.
lever operated 4x4 = less that can go wrong both of these remind me too much of an ordinary car now with those interiors. i mean come on, piano black gloss finish? can you imagine a rivercrossing and water in the cab with those interiors? what happened with durable and functional? too much makeup.
There is an issue with the d-max as well, if you put bigger tires on it you more or less lose low range because you cant gear the diffs down to make up for the larger tires. The hilux might have some makeup on it, but it is still the only realistic choice for a durable pickup.
I just feel sad thanks to the fact that Toyota didn't put the same front design on the pick-up truck as the SW4. Pretty similar but the SW4 has a tad bit more awesomeness!
I personally would take the Ford Ranger. I haven't been in the facelifted version, but I was lucky enough to drive the 2.4 SRX and the 2.8 4x4 Raider Hilux and I have to say: - The ride quality is something I have never experience in a Hilux - The interior - oh my word. It's too premium - And the engine is a lot quieter than in the previous generation Hilux and Ford Ranger (which is still the same) However, the lack of rear seat air vents, the lack of LED lights and keyless start in 2016 (the Australian version has all LED and keyless start) is very disrespectful and very much like Toyota. Toyota is becoming a lot like Telkom - they are too comfortable. The just recently caught up in the terms of ride quality and they seem to not get the memo. In short, the disrespect from Toyota is enough to push me to get a Ford Ranger (even if it's the older generation before the facelift)
What these companies do is they keep certain features like LED and keyless start back at first, and then at next facelift or special edition Eg. Legend 50/whatever, they 'introduce' those features to create more of an impact. Now with LED's and keyless entry blah blah blah. Toyota did it with the previous Fortuner. Overseas had satnav and TSC & such right from the start while SA didn't, then when the facelift came the facelifted Fortuner got satnav, TSC...
as much as like the Ford but I just bought a 2016 hilux and that was because of the resale value is so high for Toyota . and also this one replaced my old 1998 hilux. I know it's a huge gap bit these cars last long time and are really tough .
Christopher Warner who cares we care about real life not Commercial i buy Toyota anyday not Ford moose test doesnt proove anything even Jeep still fail moose test and Mercedes Hybrid as well not just Toyota go tell people not buy Mercedes !!
Why would they want it if they have the Hilux? The Hilux is a much better truck. Really sucks that we can't have it and I would buy one in a heart beat too.
macnutpro13 Yeah same. USA is not the greatest in the country world, that all baloney. If we were the greatest, we would have everything. But the new TRD Pro does look good though. Cross the border into Mexico and they have the Hilux, I mean really?
Ive just gone to a 2011 Hilux 3 litre to a 2016 3.2 Ranger. Toyota have only got the 2.4 option on the 2016 Hilux in the UK. Sitting in the Ford after the old Hilux is like going from a Corrola to a Mercedes. I dont know what the rangers going to be like for reliability but tbh my Hilux hasnt been the most reliable vehicle.
The Ford definitely looks better than the Toyota but reliability of the Toyota is undisputed. Not to say the Ford is unreliable but everybody knows someone with an insane number of miles on their Hilux/Takoma. I think the smart play is to find a used Ranger coming off of a lease and take advantage of the Ford's much lower resale value.
drove both and liked both. ford is trying very hard to win this segment and they have done well i agree with everything you mentioned in the review. if it was me i would go with hilux. i know what im buying and toyota has been doing it right for decades ford has only just started.
+Grim Maven Ford has only just started in this category. Just like how Toyota has just started in the American pick-up market with the Tundra, where ford is the top selling pick-up. The Ranger was tested and built for the extreme conditions in Australia, and it is years ahead of the newest hilux.
Hilux can't tow 3500kg and has a smaller tray, can't even fit a pallet. Ranger does it all. That's what I've come up with while shopping for one in Australia
I see you have taken the tow bar off on the ranger ... maybe she can tow 3.5 T but the rear ground clearance withe the tow pack on is elasticated as my Nans pants.
I've just bought a brand new ranger. It's got parking sensors all around plus a rear view camera. Hilux only the camera. Ranger has 7 airbags, hilux only 3; ranger's touch screen is far much faster than hilux's, though it's true that the latter is better built and looks more refined
Chris Porter ford rang is New Zealand’s top selling vehicle doesn’t that say it all must be popular for a reason and there still more expensive that a Toyota😂😂
Been a Ranger man for years. Never been disappointed. Must say that the Toyota would be my second pick. Great review.
I owned the previous generation Toyota Hilux. It was bumpy and noisy but it got the job done. And, with my country's tax regime, it's extremely expensive so I was very happy with the resale value that Toyota has.

So far the Ford has been good. Going for almost 4 years and 90000km without any problem. Don't be brand loyal, you never know what will happen in the future. Look at all the loyal Zuma supporters being forced to stay loyal by their own doing. I'll will buy any brand that is the best on the day. All these bakkies fighting to be king is good for us consumers. Who knows what my next bakkie will be, depends who is the king on that day.
Check the dog and lemon guide. Ford have been having massive issues with the Rangers.

Shut up.
Agree with u sir.....even I got hilux....3L......
Toyota is the most reliable brand. I've seen the old Hilux with more than 400,000 km still running perfectly.
Orlando Rangel There are Rangers with over 2.2million km on them

Did it break down yet?

The compact pickup offering is sorely lacking in the USA. Older Ford Rangers keep their resale value as they are very popular with the handyman crowd.
What a beautiful location.
amazing scenery you got there Mate. love the escape
The most objective review I have heard in a decade. In Kenya, Hilux wins, its reliability and maintenance cost is superb.
Driven both to its limits the ranger has the edge... Also better gear ratios for fast pace winding cambered rough terrain.. Left the Toyota in the dust..

Enjoyed your video. We have the Razor XP 1000 and Wildcat X ATV's and we love them, they are tough and hold up good on our tours.
The Amarok far behind? Hahaha April Fools, you got me
The joke is thinking it's not like that. Quite insulting comparing a mediocre Volkswagen to a Toyota, my apologies but you better face the reality. My suggestion is, try to resell your Amarok before losing more value, sure you can find a 2005 Hilux with what you get, good deal.

I think Toyota's low maintenance costs gives it good resale value

Ranger because my dad wants ranger and I want ford super duty
Although I love my Ford Ranger XL 2016, it has less ground clearance than the Hilux on the steering lower control arms. Has anyone noticed this?
Toyota is going through a class action for massive failures in the DPF for all modern Hilux with the 2.8 diesel in Australia. Check it out before buying one. They have admitted the DPFs are faulty.
Totally agree that the two brand options are very close.., how ever I have to say that the Ranger looks like a truck that means business and it also has a drive train that is both more powerful and also proven.., where as the Hilux really does look like a car trying to be a truck, Toyota across the board really seem to have gone off the rails when it comes to vehicle design lately.., and as for being the best part of half a litre down in cubic capacity that is significant, in my eyes I was taught that it is by far way more sensible to have a larger engine working more relaxed rather a smaller engine under more stress trying to make similar output levels.... you wouldn't place a 13 litre 550 in a triple Road Train when you can have a 16 litre 600 to 750 would you... would you..??
The hilux looks like the future .. The ford ranger looks like a girls version of the f150 raptor .. The hilux being slim and lighter gets through everything much easier than the oversized overpriced bogan ute ( ford ranger ) and in the end the 79 series work mate land cruiser leaves the ford ranger in the dust.
+Landcruiser is bae you dumbfuck.., you have just proven again how much you have been reaming yourself with that Toyota dildo... I think you need to remember that this video was a test between the Hilux and the Ranger at approx $50,000 each and not the Landy 70 series at more like $90,000+..!! yes of course the 70 series would be better than the Ranger, but at twice the price I would fucking hope so..!! the comparison here is the Ranger and the Hilux, and speaking from our experience with a working 2012 Ranger in the bush every day ( not a gay street toy ) that now has near 170,000km on the clock with nothing but normal servicing and NO breakages I think it speaks for itself... so go back to your bedroom and lube yourself up again tugger and have another go.... hahahahahahahah.... ps - don't bother coming back again unless you have some real 4x4 experience to share because I love messing around with little keyboard warriors like you that think they know what they're talking about... hahahaha.
+hootizzz alright mate .. Wait till you get that little African truck stuck and you open your mouth to the hilux that was gonna pull your little smart ass out .. Your more up tight and biased than Kim Kardashians fucking sweat pants .. The hilux doesn't have to prove itself because everyone knows it's the most trustworthy strongest most hard working ute on the market .. You wanna talk about 4x4ing yet you probably stay on the trails .. Try backtracking through the Nullarbor plains than come back to me.
I already won this when you started with the hate comments on a truck you've probably never driven .. And the base model 70 series land cruiser is around 50k jackass so close your little ford supporter ass and shove a commodore dildo down your throat.
+Landcruiser is bae hahahaha... again and again and again you continue to prove how much you use that Toyota dildo..!! I told you to come back with hard out hard facts and examples.., but instead you just try your luck out on some insults which only prove that you look at photos of Kim K while you are using that Toyota dildo..!! also I would suggest you go do a bit more homework on the pricing, a 70 series the spec we require with crew cab etc is $86k + tax where the Ranger ( and the Hilux for that mater ) are just over the $50k + tax mark.., so when you get your drivers license and your dad lets you have a drive of his Hilux come back then and we will continue this little discussion... hahahaha..... you little warriors are so much fun... ps - there is nothing to win here, I just like seeing little tuggers like you get so defensive over something they have no idea about, but think that they do... have a great day...
+hootizzz my dad has a Toyota Land Cruiser 200 series land cruiser vx 2016 model and before that he had a Toyota Prado 150 series 2011 model .. I don't know where you got the thought he had an hilux .. Maybe one of your stupid assumptions again .. Fact is the ford ranger is a shitty Mazda BT-50 and the hilux is a slimmer ,lighter ,trusted ,stronger ,stylish and a lot more durable .. And I never said the ford ranger was complete shit but it is a completely different style of ute .. And has a lot more weight and that gives it it's downfall on the 4x4 tracks.
And hell I was in the backseat of me dads mates ford ranger and it is the hardest most uncomfortable cheapest looking interior I've ever seen .. And that's on a dirt road .. But going through the ford's (ford is a platform across a river ,stream that you can drive/walk across - I know your stupid so that's what it is) which were overflown because of heavy downfall was no challenge for the heavy ass ford ranger.
I just wish I could get either of these in the US.
for me it would be the ford it's good looking and comfortable and I think the ford has more gear than the hillux
Nice smooth review just excellent ...and honest no bias
Hilux
Reliable
Long Enduring
High Power to Weight Ratio
Lovely interior
Lovely frontal and overall look
carries same weight as the Ford!
Why even choose the Ford??
For once, I think the Hilux looks about as nice as the Ranger! I'm a fan of the Hilux again
As long as BOTH keep using drum rear brakes and not considering that a pick up trucks must have a complete braking system with 4 WHEELS WITH DISC BRAKES AND A 4 CHANNEL ABS SYSTEM, I will always prefer a Ford F150 or an American Chevy Colorado Turbo Diesel.
Drum brakes are not as safe as disc brakes and always require more maintenance.
Think about semi trucks. They are starting to use disk brakes but more than 90% use drum brakes.
From the Jamaican perspective individually. Toyotas a'rent what they used to be, the marketplace is pretty balanced and I'd say Toyota is lagging behind, "losing their touch". Since the release, Ive seen a few Hiluxs but far more Rangers then Amaroks. Jamaican conditions are rough Ive seen plenty of the previous generation of ute; mostly Tritions, D-Maxs and Rangers. The hiluxs are plagued with electrical issues and dont hold up under real working conditions. I say the D-max, then the Triton for reliability. Anyways The Ranger is a superior vehicle overall.
Try to sell the Toyota after 5 years you will have smile on your face, but try do the same thing to ford not a happy face coz it loses so much value
+Btoplus hastam
That notion will definitely change within 2 years time, Ford has really become something else from what they used to be 4 years back,
+Btoplus hastam Typical Hilux fanboy remark...
+Btoplus hastam I tend to agree with you on that one Toyota has the better resale value, but I also agree that ford needs some time on that one because I heard that some people mentioned that ford is planning to move all building and production of the ranger and the everest to SA to insure a cheaper sale price.
Jaco Ras
Yes more local production, more trim levels in Ranger and new Everest and by 2018 a new 3.0 JLR sourced 240 bhp diesel,10 speed AT too is on the way,
SO Ford has got its work going far beyond what some can imagine about Ford
+Ponygt 662 not sure about your 3.0L JLR sourced engine
I want ranger
Both are very good, but I prefer the more manly look of the Ranger.
Interesting matchup. Here in 2020 in USA the Ranger has been on sale for just under 2 years (yes, except for the engine and transmission, we got this same Ranger as a " new " 2019 model.) Only one engine/transmission here: 2.3 EcoBoost petrol engine mated to a 9 speed automatic.
The Toyota? We used to get the HiLux here, then Toyota came up with the North American only (?) Tacoma. In 2021 the Tacoma will see a re-design, the first in...? For all intents and purposes, there are 2 engines but 1 transmission on offer: a 2.7 inline 4 cylinder and a 3.5 V6, both petrol. Ostensibly, you have the choice of an automatic or manual transmission, but the manual with the 4 cylinder is next to impossible to specify while the V6 with manual is a tiny bit easier to specify...but the manuals will probably " disappear " for 2021. Oddly(?), the ability to buy a manual trasmissioned Tacoma can depend on which region of the country you live in.
And yes, a used Tacoma can sometimes fetch as much as a new one if it is less than 2 years old and well cared for.
Hi guys. Details from Malaysia
Ford ranger does look very impressive but the customer Service here are terrible. Their nothing compared to Toyota Centers. Plus the wildtrek is a complete waste. It's too expensive that 90percent of the users might not need that extra power. Also it's too electronized. In my personal opinion I just never liked cars which is to electronized.
Toyota hilux 2016 is almost near perfection. Not as powerful as the ford, but it definitely has a better resale value here. Most people I know feels Toyota hilux is more reliable in the Long run. Again on my personal opinion, pick up trucks are suppose to be rough and tough, that's it's identity, it's an experience. But now, it feels soft.
Will be buying the wild trak soon, the safety feature of ranger is more important than resale value, as for Ford have terrible resale value?, the same goes for BMW, Audi, Volvo, and yet still there are so many of those on the road, that's expected when you drive continental cars
Reason u find more ranger on road cause by.. hiluk got stolen 😂... sell back to middle east as war machine 😂....
Japan and Germany enginering is the BEST!
Here in Australia toyota is king especially in the bush, where they are very reliable in harsh conditions.
Had to look up "Bakkie" as I am not South African.
+trefod nice work! It is a uniquely South African term. Now this should blow your mind, slang for a piece Tupperware here in SA is also "bakkie"
+Cars.co.za I suppose it refers to a container, which the bed of a pick certainly has.
I'm in Australia and since I subscribed to your channel I have been calling my Navara a bakkie, hope it catches on
Its a pickup truck
Hahaha, true
OMG The Ford Ranger looks so great i want it!!!!!!!!
sry for bad English im German xD
Z3RO well there is nothing wrrrong with ur English nd we r not here to judge u
Your next video should be a battle between the top of the range KIA Sorento with a LandRover Discovery 4. I know these cars are very different but you can get a very good second hand Disco for R692,000 which is the price of the Sorento. So shoot.
hulix is the best and most relaible
ford is bad my dad had one and it broke and then we got a toyota
The minute he said "no more mucking about with a lever" to engage 4x4 I had a mini thromby. What the hell is so difficult about moving a lever? In my experience the freakin button can take longer to engage 4x4 than "mucking about with a lever." Has the world gone mad?! Rant over.... Sorry. Having said that, I actually really enjoyed the review. Very nice.
if you want to be safe better not buying the Toyota hilux
The pick up market is looking better every year.I personally prefer the the Ranger but just because i a Ford loayalist and i admit that the Hilux goes toe to toe and leaves nothing to prove.
4:40 Looks like there's a serial killer stalking you in the background...
Ranger = Pickup The power connector & Better security & Function more more....
I want car to worker Do not buy to resell
Even though my American opinion from America may not count for much I'm gonna give it anyway. To me it comes down to not enough difference to be worth the extra money for the ford.
lever operated 4x4 = less that can go wrong
both of these remind me too much of an ordinary car now with those interiors. i mean come on, piano black gloss finish?
can you imagine a rivercrossing and water in the cab with those interiors?
what happened with durable and functional?
too much makeup.
Agreed. Toyota overpriced. Ford not reliable. I'll take isuzu kb any day over these two. Just one mans opinion
There is an issue with the d-max as well, if you put bigger tires on it you more or less lose low range because you cant gear the diffs down to make up for the larger tires.
The hilux might have some makeup on it, but it is still the only realistic choice for a durable pickup.
That is the original purpose of the ute, to look like something that can be used for business and for fieldwork
I just feel sad thanks to the fact that Toyota didn't put the same front design on the pick-up truck as the SW4. Pretty similar but the SW4 has a tad bit more awesomeness!
6:26 unknown wildlife at the back
I personally would take the Ford Ranger. I haven't been in the facelifted version, but I was lucky enough to drive the 2.4 SRX and the 2.8 4x4 Raider Hilux and I have to say:
- The ride quality is something I have never experience in a Hilux
- The interior - oh my word. It's too premium
- And the engine is a lot quieter than in the previous generation Hilux and Ford Ranger (which is still the same)
However, the lack of rear seat air vents, the lack of LED lights and keyless start in 2016 (the Australian version has all LED and keyless start) is very disrespectful and very much like Toyota. Toyota is becoming a lot like Telkom - they are too comfortable. The just recently caught up in the terms of ride quality and they seem to not get the memo.
In short, the disrespect from Toyota is enough to push me to get a Ford Ranger (even if it's the older generation before the facelift)
What these companies do is they keep certain features like LED and keyless start back at first, and then at next facelift or special edition Eg. Legend 50/whatever, they 'introduce' those features to create more of an impact. Now with LED's and keyless entry blah blah blah.
Toyota did it with the previous Fortuner. Overseas had satnav and TSC & such right from the start while SA didn't, then when the facelift came the facelifted Fortuner got satnav, TSC...
as much as like the Ford but I just bought a 2016 hilux and that was because of the resale value is so high for Toyota . and also this one replaced my old 1998 hilux. I know it's a huge gap bit these cars last long time and are really tough .
I'm in for the long haul Toyota for sure. I own two toyotas and actually forget that I own them. Nothing goes wrong.
Toyota hillux wow what a bakkie well done to toyota

Toyota fails the moose test very badly, unlike the Ford. Don't buy the Toyota!!
Christopher Warner who cares we care about real life not Commercial i buy Toyota anyday not Ford moose test doesnt proove anything even Jeep still fail moose test and Mercedes Hybrid as well not just Toyota go tell people not buy Mercedes !!
Consider after sales service and spare part price/availability too at our place. Reading specs and watching review is not enough.
What do you guys think of the 2016 Tacoma, and would you want it to be release outside of the U.S and Canada?
Why would they want it if they have the Hilux? The Hilux is a much better truck. Really sucks that we can't have it and I would buy one in a heart beat too.
macnutpro13 Yeah same. USA is not the greatest in the country world, that all baloney. If we were the greatest, we would have everything. But the new TRD Pro does look good though. Cross the border into Mexico and they have the Hilux, I mean really?
macnutpro13 i
great review well done personally I prefer the hilux
Ive just gone to a 2011 Hilux 3 litre to a 2016 3.2 Ranger. Toyota have only got the 2.4 option on the 2016 Hilux in the UK. Sitting in the Ford after the old Hilux is like going from a Corrola to a Mercedes. I dont know what the rangers going to be like for reliability but tbh my Hilux hasnt been the most reliable vehicle.
So much love for the ranger❤
"If there is no oil under a British car , there is no oil in it !! "
Ever reliable ever reselling TOYOTA ........
I see a ghost outside of the window. 04.50
Hhhhhhhhhhh he is camera man
Intelligent review, thank you
toyota hilux is always superior compared to any other brands when it come to 4x4 ride
Is the Ranger being sold again in the USA?
No
Nope but hopefully someday were really missing out on a nice truck!
Thailand :)
but why ? You have the F150, which all of us in Asia wants
+Le John The Ranger is an excellent, smaller pickup that many handymen and women use and you see them all over in the USA. Let's trade!
let me decide: toyota legendary reliability or ford legendary cheapness....tough choice!!
Great Review! Thanks!!
The Ford definitely looks better than the Toyota but reliability of the Toyota is undisputed. Not to say the Ford is unreliable but everybody knows someone with an insane number of miles on their Hilux/Takoma. I think the smart play is to find a used Ranger coming off of a lease and take advantage of the Ford's much lower resale value.
Ford has a real tough truck look
“They may look very different” .. they look almost identical 😂
I should agree that the ranger will be a better choice
can you try the toug of war...let's see who will be gonna win..
drove both and liked both.
ford is trying very hard to win this segment and they have done well
i agree with everything you mentioned in the review.
if it was me i would go with hilux.
i know what im buying and toyota has been doing it right for decades
ford has only just started.
+Grim Maven Ford has only just started in this category. Just like how Toyota has just started in the American pick-up market with the Tundra, where ford is the top selling pick-up.
The Ranger was tested and built for the extreme conditions in Australia, and it is years ahead of the newest hilux.
Hilux can't tow 3500kg and has a smaller tray, can't even fit a pallet. Ranger does it all.
That's what I've come up with while shopping for one in Australia
You need a fact checkup..
Depends on your tray options .
is the hilux have key entry not the keyless one?
(Srry bot my english i suck at it)
Here in Southamerica....Toyota Rulez !!!
I see you have taken the tow bar off on the ranger ... maybe she can tow 3.5 T but the rear ground clearance withe the tow pack on is elasticated as my Nans pants.
the hilux failed at the stability control test though
he is wrong. there is also a 3ltr engine in the hilux 2016
Yep...running here in Fiji - 2.5L n 3.0L but in Australia is 2.8L
Great video!
Iam team ranger go ranger
Reymond Rein Nicolas Sarino yes mate you legend screw Toyota go ranger
any thing made by TOYOTA its the best.
Except sedans... I can't think of any brand of vehicle more sterile and boring. Missionary position in Bloemfontein. No thanks.
nine minute just to say which ever one u like ... nice video tho
For all the ozzy viewers, what do you get when you cross a bakkie and a ute? A Bute.
In South Africa, do you have the Ford Territory?
what is the price of Toyota hilux as you posted in CZcams channel?!!!let me know so that I may purchase one of those cars
A Hilux hands down :) Dates way better.
Mar Lan
not all bakkie are built the same, you must onderskei on quality, toyota is more better
yeah the Hilux is much better looking, makes the Ranger look like it is something from the past.
I've just bought a brand new ranger. It's got parking sensors all around plus a rear view camera. Hilux only the camera. Ranger has 7 airbags, hilux only 3; ranger's touch screen is far much faster than hilux's, though it's true that the latter is better built and looks more refined
Chris Porter ford rang is New Zealand’s top selling vehicle doesn’t that say it all must be popular for a reason and there still more expensive that a Toyota😂😂
Good video mate..
Can the hilux tow a 20' steel container barber saloon?? need to know..thks
