Hey mate love you're work 👍
Thanks!
👌🔥🔥🔥 GR Sport
TY!
One other tip leave the traction control on offroad Toyota has one of best offroad traction control on the market
Good advice. I just wanted to spray mud everywhere for visual impact/photos.
Can you please provide a demo of the new athlete Triton also if available in your country?
Thanks for your review! Would you choose Amarok over Hilux for mostly driving on the roads and very few terrain? Does Amarok V6 feel durable enough, comparing to the Hilux?
Excellent review mate. The four wheel "hang" at 23:32 was a laugh and very un-Toyota. 😃
Thanks!
It’s a great feature, flight mode ✈️
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia 😂
I like your reviews and watch most of them.
Just a few things I would comment on.
I have a GR Sport Hilux the first thing I did was replace the stock road tyres which are 30.3 inch diameter with 265 70 17 Falken Wildpeaks 31.8 inch diameter.
A far improved ride quality and on and off road grip as well as ground clearance and appearance.
I also have a VBox and with the taller tyres on and 6500ks on the clock it did 0-100ks in 9.
5 seconds.
Last you know the Hilux has great slide out cup holders in front of both outer vents as well as the second row seat bases are split 60/40 and fold up for good internal storage and it also has paddle shifters which i use all the time in rough off road terrain.
One last comment you realise the the Gr Sport is definitely heavier than a SR5 so part of power increase is off set by the increased weight.
Performance of an empty 4x4 to a full decked out one will be vastly different so any weight increase will have an impact
still old man slow. hahahaha
275/65R17 is another option.
How much would you say is the improvement in ride quality after upgrading to the bigger tires?
@@misterd.924 Yes, when I went from the same brand light truck tyres at the same tyre pressure from 265/65R17 to 275/65R17 and the slightly larger diameter of 13mm or 6.5mm taller sidewalls made a difference to ride quality.
However, many factors affect ride quality just in the tyre alone. Going from passenger rated tyres to L/T tyres stiffens up the ride considerably - some brands more so than others because of different construction … it’s worth mentioning, because many people miss this, that because the L/T tyre construction is so much more stronger I run the tyre placard pressure of only 31 PSI unloaded, and I can assure you that in my case this is maximum pressure unloaded for acceptable ride and braking safety and control. Some tyre shops put in 45 to 48 psi in the L/T tyres and not only does this contribute to a rough ride, it also reduces your contact patch and contributes to possibly being slippery on wet roads.
Personally I adjust my L/T tyres all of the time for loaded and unloaded. And while the L/T tyres are way better for loaded vehicles as they don’t bounce or balloon over bumps and they are heaps more puncher resistant, they will never perform like a passenger rated tyre in handling, braking or comfort.
It takes time to find the best tyre pressure for your vehicle and new tyres, loaded or unloaded. You may already know this - if your wheel alignment is correct and your suspension is not out of tolerance, stupid and dodgy lift, and your tyres are wearing more in the middle you are over pressure, if they are wearing more on the outside they are under pressure. One caveat on this technique and that is the L/T tyres are so strong that they tend to not show up wearing in the middle or outside associated with pressure differentials as fast as a passenger rated tyre.
@bradleyfryer5563 how bout you? Would you say the change in ride quality was really that noticeable? Like in what instance?
Deciding if tired would be enough or to swap out the suspension
What dirt backroad is that? My son likes how open it is. Also good review very detailed information 👌 👍better than most channels. Keep up the detailed reviews
Belanglo state forest
@positivepete4265 thanks man. God bless u
It’s $15,000 cheaper than a Ford Craptor so why would this be a Raptor competitor??? It’s not meant to be it’s the best Hilux by far
It's sloooowwwww. old man slooooowwwww.. Bahahahahahha! The Gen 2 Raptor shit all over it. Everywhere. Sand. Beach. Mud. Mountain. Bitumen. Everywhere your underpowered hilux is like an old tractor vs a 5th Generation Fighter Jet. Sorry...
And it is shit 😂
Craptor? Lol raptor shits all over it. In literally every way.
@@wizzylizzy69not that I can afford any of it but I’d take raptor all day😂
@@bekabeka71 I’ve got one, I’ve had all different 4x4s and cars and they are in a league of their own. Its good though hopefully the rest of the competition pays attention and we see some awesome trucks in the near future.
Can you get the GR Hilux in with a manual
Bird helping in review😮
Bird?
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia refer to the yellow dropping on top of roof and windscreen🤭
@@tzeshenlim Ah yes, the tri-colour pack. No-cost option 👍
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia 😆
Isn't that a 2023 model? Toyota announced a completely new 2024 model about 6 months ago?
Time to test out the hybrid to see if its any faster. 🤷🏻♂️😊
Yes, video coming soon 👍
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia Great! Can't wait! 🤗
More taste
Ford Raptors are for people that are compensating for something
48 Volt mild Hybrid SR5 Hilux should be interesting 0-100 klm compared to the GR Hilux … Toyota Australia still has the updated (not new) ST5 Hilux at 150kw and 500 NW, but in Europe the same Mild Hybrid system is showing 162kw and 565NW … the GR Hilux is heavier with way less payload and is rated at 165kw and 550nw - no wonder Toyota Australia has not updated the mild hybrid Hilux figures.
Looking forward to see if your 0-100 times show a performance improvement.
Obviously I should add that the 48 Volt Mild Hybrid SR5 can only produce that extra 12kw and extra 65nw for a number of seconds, due to how small Toyota made the battery, but should help.
Put 2jz and a manual transmission
If you were driving it like a maniac like most of the tradies do that 0-100 time could’ve been cut in half.
For sure. We need a new column in the results for ‘tradie time’.
Great review, but what is the GR Hilux supposed to be … with a whopping 300 kgs Less payload, but it needs weight in the tray to settle the ride - it’s hardly a more usable and practical Raptor.
The Ford Wildtrak X is what Toyota should have built, including all the great ideas and a 4x4 system you can use on roads … then just with the GR engine having slightly more power than the X, they would have nailed it!
You ask what is the Hilux GR-S supposed to be while not asking what's the next gen raptor supposed to be? Lower payload capacity, lower tow capacity....if people buy the next gen raptor for comfor then why not just buy an SUV? SUVs are far more comfortable than any pick-up trucks 😂
And also, hilux is more practical than any of the rangers, it lasts longer and cheaper maintenance cost, so what are yapping about practicality? 😂
@@Iverson0516 Thank you … you have answered perfectly what this vehicle is for.
@@garageblitztv3215 braindead ford fanboy I guess.
@Iverson0516 Cheaper maintenance ? Are you the owner of toyotaca cars? Did your dealer explain to you for your PMS schedule im doubt if toyouta saver owner will agree..fyi ford pms once every year compare to other brands its a grade school mathematics.
This is slightly slower than the African version of the Hilux GR
No matter how good your Ford Ranger Raptor, I still keep my Hi lux. Reliability, parts and maintenance is cheaper and simple.
Great review but you drive way too fast on those windy roads which is why you’ll have tyre squeal as you drive at least 10-20km hr more than what is safe.
Thanks. Keep in mind same road, same speed, but some other utes don’t squeal - that was the point I was trying to make. I’m testing the vehicle hence why I might be pushing it slightly more than an average drive. There’s little information to gather if I drive (only) very slowly, during testing.
@@drivingenthusiastaustraliafair point on your testing regime - the elephant in the room here is that Ford are mostly unreliable so I don’t agree that Ford is a better ute especially given recent issues for new Raptor owners with the digital instrument cluster and stopping fully from 80km without warning - even Paul from Car Expert had to admit he was already having issues with his new Ranger - the Raptor may drive better but dangerous to say it’s better as we know Ford are poor in reliability and service culture towards the public - the only other brand I’d choose is Mitsubishi.
@@johnnumbat9782 Yeah I don’t normally like talking about long-term reliability as we only test for one week. But as I said at the end, personally I’d buy the HiLux but in terms of weighing up the features and technology, some specs, and on-road performance, the Ranger is better - in terms of my professional opinion.
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia I own a Hilux because of its reliability not just it’s ability - the Ranger may be a better drive but when you’re paying over 70k you better do your homework first - it’s not appropriate to just focus on its abilities and not give a whole picture of whole ownership being driving and owning so to say it’s better technically is misleading when you’re recommending the Ranger as a better vehicle - at least you chose the better vehicle in the end so full points for that outcome.
@@drivingenthusiastaustralia yes but it’s not a good look when you consider all the roadkill in Tasmania for example because people drive to fast and don’t consider the wildlife - those poor kangaroos you nearly hit were just lucky that day.
Almost 10 seconds 0-100 is still unacceptable considering some of the competition. It's a half baked attempt at the Ranger Raptor without the bite to match.
"All bark no bite"
Yes i know it's a utility vehicle but the interior is just abysmal with the sheer quantity of hard platics in areas that should be atleast soft touch or injection moulded plastics in high impact areas.
The 2.8L diesel at this point just shows how underwhelming they are.
Lacklustre power, adequate torque but there's definitely vehicles better & quicker in multiple areas.
Ace it up it's a stupid diesel 4x4 ....
10 seconds to 100? hahahaha! my grandma's 1989 corolla can beat that by 1 second! hahaha
I was at a street meet drags when I was in Brisbane recently $8500 Toyota Aurion with 265000ks and just an intake mods run 13.9 sec against a current Ford Raptor which ran 14.3 sec.
If you think dual cabs are fast think again.
I think if we’ve all been paying attention to Toyotas current track record with performance vehicles, if they had speed in mind, it would be fast haha. If Toyota wanted it to be a “direct competitor” to the Raptor, acceleration would be a key performance feature. Shame the Raptor just comes across as far more gimmicky.
It looks like a homermobile.
Do you know the difference between a Hilux and a Ranger? If you want to go to the mountains, take the Ranger. If you want to get back home, take the Hilux. I don't have to say anymore.
No one gives a fuck about reliability in brand new cars it’s what warranty is for it’s not 80s where everyone is going to keep a car for 20 years 💀💀💀 get with the times sunshine
Toyota is Committed to quality manufacture of high-quality High-value cars and trucks. Reliability, resale value, warranty, reputation, strong supply dealership superior engineering Customer feedback. That's why Toyota is number one in the world. Ford can never compete against Toyota. You heard the man yourself. Ford might be a little bit better in a few areas. Ford don't outlast the Toyota and he would still buy Hilux and I agree with him.@@Emmasnail3356
One could say no one honours warranties either.@@Emmasnail3356
@@Emmasnail3356lol, reliability in cars is still prominent in this day and age and with fast growing inflation, it's still better to keep reliable cars than buy a comfortable one but is not so reliable 😂
@@Emmasnail3356afterall, having a car is comfort already, and with good roads, ride comfor is not much different from a raptor 😂 basic and also yeah hilux can outlast raptors 😂
Hilux reliably unreliable, brilliant if you like getting around in limp mode,almost anything sets it off,even a dodgy tail light. Got sick of disconnecting the battery to the point I got rid of it
Hilux is the best Ute in the history of the world.
😂 rally all the way
You drive way to fast on public and gravel roads - slow down - in one of your other recent videos you were quite happy to advertise you were doing 120km on the freeway - police will like that!!
Thanks for your advice.
Keep in mind indicated speed is not true speed.
it s a bogan cash grab and it'll bloody work too - no harm no foul if it comes with bird poo and a ballpoint pen
🤣
The GR Hilux is good for old people because it is very very slow. The Gen2 Ranger Raptor is for young fit men who go fast and hard. The GR Hilux is like an impotent old man who still thinks he can do it but nothing happens. The Gen2 Ranger Raptor is a young special forces soldier.
you look like an old man
In Africa no other machine like Toyota is the best for hard working,
sad that you are not a fit man
For Impotent old men 😂😂😂
In Africa we din't talk of speed but duability and puntuality...
What a joke
