They have addressed the dpf issue but it isnt an issue for me as i do long highways runs every day, it does its burn every 600 or 700 kms and i barely notice. I really wanted to love the hilux and it was where my heart was at, but it didnt add up on paper, especially since i am a tech / gadget guy.īut the hilux facelift added a few things i felt was lacking against ranger, ie some power, apple car play, adaptive cruise, towing capacity, and i really like the new front grille and tail light design - lets be honest looks are important consideration for many of us.
Toyota helix update#
On paper the ranger looked better equipped than hilux, and i may have gone with ranger if the hilux update didnt come around Nobody wants to feel like an idiot who made a poor decision on a big purchase) (though i am well aware of post purchase confirmation, most people would probably say they are happy with their car unless they got a dud, right? I read everything on this site, all other sites, spoke to lots of ute owners,mechanics etc about their likes and dislikes of various dual cabs I researched every popular dual cab on the market thoroughly, probably too much. firewood trips, garden supplies, trailor towing for wood and trips to tip, lugging product for my small manufacturing business, maybe some light off roading and weekends away to coast with family Wanted a ute as moved to 1.5 acre property in regional vic.


my lst car was commodore vf sv6 which was a great car, but had to move it on due to higher kms & I used to have holden sedan based utes, always missed the tray capacity. I bought my 2020 SR5 hilux last year late october.
