“regretful acquiring it”
Written on: 30/06/2011 by bianca331
hilux 3.0 G D4D 2011 philippines first of all, comfortability of driver & passengers SO TIRING - a horseriding feeling everytime we drive it even just for a short distance. (try also having a conversation with a friend on a phone while on the road & they can attest that you're like on a horseriding session) visibility driving under the rain is terrible and dangerous - no deffoger at all.. after the rain stench-smell coming out fron the a/c itself is so disgusting, imagine 2 months old...

“Thank you Cleveland. ”
Written on: 06/03/2010
Thank you Cleveland.
Thank you Cleveland for confirming that every Hilux is manufactured in Siberia.
Thank you Cleveland that I will in 10 years not buy another Toyota as I do not intend to sell mine.
Thank you Cleveland for a company with enough backbone to recall millions of vehicles to fix a mistake they've made which other manufacturers won't do.
Thank you Cleveland for freedom of speech for both the uneducated and the educated.

Got a Toyota Hilux 2.5 d4d in october 08 very nice truck, drives well and i find it better than the nissan i had previously. Plenty of power and good towing . good on fuel. Rattles and smokes like hell when I first start it in the morning but ok after a couple of minutes. Took it back to toyota garage and they said it needed new injectors and pipes waiting to have them fitted it has only done 3500 miles (read more)

Written on: 27/12/2008 by martinwells (1 review written)
22 12 08 just bought 3lt Toyota Hilux d-4d invincible with 4000mls on clock from main dealer. When cold, injectors rattle sounds like half of a socket set has been dropped in top end of engine, Toyota dealers said ths is normal for this vehicle. On further investigation their mechanics and lady on parts desk said many new 3lt d-4ds were coming back for new injectors and injector pipes replacing, the noise disappears after approx 10 mins of running, my vehicle has been on toyotas diognostics...

Written on: 11/06/2008
Dissapointed by the low ground clearance of the Toyota Hilux 2.5, small 15'' wheels and the build? The panel work is soft and has more plastic than older models.If you lean on the side of the truck the metal will bend?There is no cruise control which is good for long trips.
I believe the older model 03 was a better truck.
Hope the next model is better.

I found this review not helpful because...
<br/>
<br/>the resale value on them isn't as good as what it's made out to be. i paid £2356 for mine and went to sell it a month later - even though it hadn't been used much and had a new battery, new air and oil filters and had the seized spare wheel removed from underneath the vehicle (to keep weight down) i only got £1600 for it (even with a new trolley jack included)

Written on: 16/05/2007 by Stephenmu
I currently own a Toyota Hilux Invincible 54 plate. I needed a reliable pick-up truck to suit my business needs, however, this vehicle has caused me nothing but grief since I bought it, which, coupled by pathetic customer care, has cost my company and I dearly. It started when I noticed an unusual clink from the propeller shaft was getting gradually louder. I immediately booked it in to be diagnosed by my local Toyota dealer, and was informed, firstly that nothing could be heard and as I... (read more)

Written on: 23/02/2005 by lumberingjack (2 reviews written)
Anybody who wants a workhorse should know there is no better pick up than the Toyota Hilux 2.5 d4d 4x4. O.K so it does't have the performance of the Nissan Navara, or the syle of the Mitsubishi L200 but these will be dead while the Hilux will just be getting broken in.
Service intervals are great 10000 "intermediate" and 20000 "full" and the new D4D engine has loads of low down power and gives me between 35-40 mpg (leaves the others for dead) trundling around a private estate, Figures would...

Written on: 26/01/2005 by rossco
These Toyota Hilux 2.5 d4d 4x4 vehicles are simply the best for offroad and site work. They do not break down, I've had 3 of these machines and they do not break, unlike its rivals. The D-4D powerplant is excellent. Fuel economy remains the same at all speeds. I have also been involved in a few accidents in these vehicles and they are as safe as houses. Buy one of these HI-LUXs. There just perfect. (read more)

Hilux are cheap Chinese/Korean cars and believe me they are not reliable.

Written on: 25/07/2006
The response by cleveland is factually incorrect. Toyota Hilux Surfs (all generations from the 1984 1st Gens to the current 2006 4th gens) have all been manufactured in Toyota's Tahara plant in Japan.
<br/>His comments on this, and other Hilux reviews, appear to be both strangely biased and blatantly incorrect as he has not mentioned any experience of the products.
