Thread: 2016 Hilux

Bought my first 4wd triton in 93. 21 years, 5 utes and many hundreds of thousands of trouble free motoring later Iv just bought another one. And yup they sure are ugly. But full leather, all electrics,133kw and 400nm with a 10 year drive train and 5 year full car warranty all for well under 40k , I'll take all the shit you hilux whores can sling at me and just keep on grinning.

Well fuck me dead, Im sad to hear my Ford 5 cylinder 3.2 is a dinasour, but what the shit I'd buy another one tomorrow!

This smaller engine is also supposed to produce more power than the current one, which means to me they are screaming the shit out of a smaller engine to get better results?
Apart from shape and engine, the current model has all the same fixtures I like.

Hoping @cambo can shed some light on the new one.

A new current model (2014-15) truck should work out a bit cheaper after the new one is released as well I hope.


If this is the new look I am leaning more towards the current model. Looks to be the 2WD model, but meh!

I can neither confirm or deny any knowledge of the new Hilux.......

Can confirm the engine size will be smaller than the currant model. Also there will be more emission crap on them for the new Euro 6 rules. So expect more fuel related issues coming to the fore.
Haven't seen any pictures of the actual trucks yet.
Specs for us are a closely guarded secret at TNZ at the moment - in other words even they don't know what they're getting.
Our market is so small we get the dregs of any model range, and whoever orders the vehicles for us usually has no idea of what we actually want or need.
Got a few months to wait for them to turn up. Talk is October at the moment but it could be even later.

With a bit of luck one might have a 2UZ-FE (4.7L quad cam V8)

Look at the state of this!

ouch my eyes my eyes!!!

looks like something someone who wears big fake gold jewelry and jeans 3 sizes to big would drive after putting it on 24 inch chrome wheels so you can see just how puny the brakes are.

VW why would ya, I have a GT golf, one is one to many! Poor old Toyota way behind, hope the new one improves their sales?

Shit Approach and departure angle. IFS. Flashy panels that will get caught on everything.

2/10 - would not drive.

Who painted it in that colour ?

I am a Toyota man , so nothing I read , hear or see will change my view .
I own 5 Toyota utes and have had a fantastic run out of them .
The truth of it all is modern vehicles are light years ahead of those made twenty years ago in regards to power and comfort .
What worries me though is the continuing move to electronics that are the best thing ever invented until your miles from the nearest road and you have no idea what is wrong let alone the ability of fixing it with a hammer and some cable ties .
Get the Toyota

There are manuals available too. Not really sort after so not many imported.
The early '05 V6 models had no LSD for some stupid reason.
