- 2021 TOYOTA HILUX Workmate Review,
The Toyota Hilux has been around for years and years and it continues to dominate the work sites and each update as very minor as it is still puts it ahead of the rest. Or does it?
The Hilux Workmate we have here is basic and sturdy. On the outside the look hasn't really changed much over the years as Toyota says if it works keep going with it. Inside you find cloth trim seats and basic safety features like radar cruise and lane departure warning and also speed sign recognition. It also have Apple car play and android auto. Under the Bonnet we have a 2,7 litre 4 cylinder petrol engine which produces 122kw's of power and 245nm's of torque and thats mated to a 5 speed manual or an optional 6 speed automatic. Driving the Hilux around town unladen is very very bumpy. Comfortable seating and good vision mean it can do all the duties you need. It could benifit from a reverse camera as the tray is quite big so fully loaded will be a challenge to see behind you.

Good review 👍cheers
Hi Scottie,
Thankyou for the feedback I appreciate it alot.
For my purposes it's great. The low profile makes it easy on the back and knees to load and unload. A super reliable petrol engine is well suited to stop-start work site stuff with a good load. No injector and particulate filter diesel issues that my last ute suffered from. Happy to change oil and service every six months knowing it will last for years.
Hi AlGreenLightThroughGlass,
Thanks for watching I do appreciate it. That's good to hear for you the hilux works perfectly and yes they are easy to use on a daily basis and the petrol models are great and don't really have any issues and they are easy to change the oil every 6 months. Thanks again for watching.
Yeah i love it
Hi chastheplayer,
Thanks for watching I do appreciate and thanks I loved reviewing it as well.
Thanks again.
Good car got a 2016 Hilux.
Hi Neil,
Thanks and yes they are a good ute.
Thinking of this as my first ute. Toyota reliability is the big thing for me.
Hi Watcherw1,
Thanks for watching I do appreciate it and feel free to share it with your friends.
The Hilux's are great utes. Very reliable and not bad on the fuel provide you drive it nicely. Also they come with all the mod cons you need like Bluetooth radio, a/c power windows and they are comfortable. A great and stable first car that will last you a very long time.
@@agautomotive I appreciate it.
@@Watcherw1 Your welcome
Workmate best car ever
Hi Elin,
It's up there with the best. Good allround ute I say
I need a guide on how to convert normal 4x2 into tippers like shown above
Hi mlionea,
Thanks for watching I do appreciate it.
I found this video for you. I do hope this helps.
Thanks

Great honest video, would a canvas canopy help make the ride more confortable when the tray isnt loaded, I am wanting to get one but there would be times when not much weight would be in the tray, hence the question.
Hi kayjenkins731,
Thanks for watching I do appreciate it and it helps the channel.
A canvas canopy would weigh around 70kg's roughly so yes it would add weight to the back end and probably give you a slightly better ride. If you can find a demo one with a canvas canopy at a dealer somewhere, take it for a ride and see how it rides compared to one without a canopy.
Thanks again 👍
@@agautomotive Thankyou appreciate your reply
kayjenkins731,
Your welcome
It doesn’t have Apple CarPlay u can’t get maps on the screen I have the same Ute, if so can u please show me how to do it I’ve tried every way
Hi Tanner,
I was informed by the dealer that it does have it but I didn't try it out. Do you have the right cord or made sure your phone is updated. Not all of the headunits are wireless. You can check with your local dealer or whether they updated the stereo just after you bought yours.
Got mine December last year. It’s good, but wish I had a tub instead of a tray due to the ride being so stiff unloaded.
Hi Isxxc. PNG,
Thanks for watching and yes they are bumpy a lot.
You probably could get a tub and have it fitted if you wanted to do so or you might be able to change the leaf springs in the back to change the ride quality a bit.
Thanks again.
You could get a removable canopy made up. I actually got a short one made with front and back sliding windows and and rear door so that I can still fit long loads if I leave the rear door open. I intend to insulate it as well as fit a second roof on it and fit vents on the top so that it will be cool enough for my dog and/or food or other products that I need to keep cool. It has about the same space as the extra cab section and is light enough to slide of using a wood plank. I also have another one which sits behind taking up the rest of the tray but this one is heavy but it can be removed with wind up jacks even with all heavy gear inside. This large one also has sliding windows front and back as well as half doors front and back so that I can remove the small box, slide the large one forward and have front and rear top half doors open so the the dog doesn’t get too hot and I still have good rear visibility. The tie down holes on the tray can be utilised to bolt these canopies down as well.
@@agautomotive thanks for the advise, I’ve looked around and haven’t been able to find anything so far in terms of a tub, if you could find me one I’d pay handsomely for it lol.
@@Cooliemasteroz sounds sick dude, I’d love to see that setup. Would definitely make the ride better too. These utes feel amazing with a load on.
@@IsxxcPNG I will see what I can find
Good Ute but no centre arm rest is a real shame for me, cost cutting. I guess.
Hi Nick,
Thanks for watching I do appreciate it and yes they are a good ute and yes I agree not having a centre arm rest is probably cost cutting and I think things like that should be standard across the range for the money you pay for them.
Thanks again.
Want to buy an automatic one any advice?
There is not much that goes wrong with the Hilux's. Automatic is fine and drives well and it just comes down to which version of the hilux you want eg Workmate or SR and also wheather you want a tray or a tub. If your on the coast shoot me a message and I can put you in touch with a guy I deal with that might be able to get you a good price
Hi mate, Wanting to buy petrol over diesel. Whats your thoughts on installing full aluminum canopy prob 200kg and 400kg of tools, will the fuel consumption be 20L per 100kms.
Hi Dan,
Thanks for watching I do appreciate
Diesels will use less fuel but more expensive and petrol is a lot cheaper and a mate of mine has a petrol ute with a half canopy that weighs around 80-90kgs and also carries a water tank and carries about 400kgs in the back and he gets around 13-15 litres/100km. But it also depends on how you drive it as well.
Had mine nearly a year now. It's a bit gutless especially with a load. I'm sitting at 10L p 100 kms. 10.4 with a tonne of gear. Fuel consumption goes bananas when you tow a tonne
Hi Jo,
Thanks for watching i do appreciate it
Also thanks for the comments. I appreciate what real world fuel economy your getting and others that are keen on buying the hilux workmate.
@@joblower4444 With 80 litre fuel tank capacity are you getting about 750-800 km to a tank? I'm thinking about buying one myself. Cheers
@jasonclark950,
Thanks for watching I do appreciate it. A mate of mine has one and around town he is getting between 13-15 litres per 100kms but he does carry about 80-100kgs of weight in the back but it does depend on how you drive it and what your carrying in the back.
I don't know much about cars but am looking at buying a new Ute like this one or a Triton. I have always thought Toyota was a better and more expensive car then Mitsubishi but from what I am seeing online for the 2wd workmates range the Triton is about 5k more then the Toyota . Is it because its a better car for this range ?? Which would you buy
Hi Paula,
Thanks for watching i do appreciate it a lot.
I will tell you my thoughts on both of these and i am not being bias towards either of them
The Hilux and Triton are great on and offroad vehicles
Hilux is very bumpy around town compared to the Triton but put a load in the Hilux and it settles down a bit. Triton is very comfortable when both empty and full.
Hilux Rogue is softer around town empty but costs about 15k more than the GSR Triton
Triton is better value for money compared to the Hilux
Hilux is a bit old inside compared to the Triton but I guess Toyota use what works.
Triton has more saftey features than Hilux.
Triton has less power than hilux but it weighs less
Hilux can tow 3500kg compared to the Triton 3100kg
There is a brand new triton coming out next year (2024) and a new hilux (2025)
So i would say go and take both for a good long test drive and see which one you prefer over the other.
If i was buying one of these i would want the Hilux Rogue for comfort but it is too expensive so i do prefer the more comfortable and stylish Triton so i would probably go the Triton as i dont have to tow or carry anything and it has good style and saftey tech.
@@agautomotive thanks mate I will take the both for a ride. The one I really want is the rogue but that’s way over my price range.. kinda leading towards 4x2 triton but will book some test drives this week.. Thanks mate
Hi Paula,
Sounds good I like the Rogue but for the Money i think the Triton will work and yes if your not going off road or you dont need to tow or carry a lot then a 4x2 Triton would work well. I prefer the GSR Version myself
Isnt the workmate 2.5 ton towing caravan capacity?@agautomotive
@user-jz1ht8ry2w,
Thanks for watching I do appreciate it and yes your correct it can tow 2.5 ton but someone at toyota put the wrong plate on it to say 3.5 but yes it can only tow 2.5.
Thanks again.
Would you say this is better or a Mitsubishi Triton base model single cab?
Hi Levi,
Thanks for watching I do appreciate. So the hilux is a good ute but it doesn't come with many options or tech, whereas the triton comes with more tech. I think the triton rides a little bit nicer but toyota is the reliability king and this model has been out for a while now and I think it is getting a little dated and I know the new triton is due out shortly. My advice is to go and test both of them back to back and see which one you think is right for you. I did enjoy reviewing them both and I am keen to see what the new triton is like and also when toyota does release the new model as well and how it will go. I hope this helps
@@agautomotive Thanks for your reply
@levi.k4017 Your welcome
The tow bar is rated at 3.5 tonnes but the vehicle can only tow 2.5 tonnes.
Hi Tim,
Thanks for the comment
That's what I originally thought but then maybe they had upped the rating so not really good that toyota put the wrong plate on. Sorry about that.
No worries, glad I could help.
Toyota didn’t put the wrong plate on, towbar is rated 3.5 (which they use on other models) and the workmate is rated 2.5
Hi Aaron,
Thanks for that I thought it did only tow 2.5 ton but they should rectify it when it gets sold. Thanks again.
If you tow more than the Ute weighs you’re asking to get flipped by the load
How is the ute on fuel? I remember I had a 2014 model about 5 years ago and it honestly was so thirsty on fuel. I’m not sure whether they’ve done something about that now I was lucky to get 400km on a full tank. Looking to get another one but probably 2022 model or just before. Will only be having tool boxes and basic electrical gear.
Thankyou in advance
Hi Adreianns,
Thanks for watching I do appreciate it.
The newer hiluxes like this one are still thirsty on fuel my mate has a few of them in his business and he said it gets 13-15 litres/100kms with 400kgs of gear including half toolbox on the back but it does depend on how you drive them.
@@agautomotive thanks heaps for the response mate I appreciate it. Great video as well really helped me out
@@adreianns Your very welcome
love it but petrol version use too much fuel..
Hi Kym,
Thanks for watching.
Yes they are great utes and they can use a bit more than there diesel version.
Sorry may l ask is petrol engine that bad on consumption or slightly a bit
Hi Stu Rose,
The petrol engine is fine but it just uses a bit more fuel that's all. They are a good engine.
2.5 tonne towing not 3.5 tonne.
Hi Stendec,
Thanks for watching,
Yes I was pretty sure it only tows 2.5 so I think toyota must of put the wrong plate on but that's why I pointed it out.
car nav is garbage, phone is always better
Hi The Australian Chef,
Yes I agree with you. It seems to be happening to a lot of vehicles that phones seem the better way to go these days
It will only tow 3and half ton in a 4 wheel drive.get it right man.
Hi Robertbutler8004,
Thanks for watching I do appreciate it a lot and I am trying.
I did make that mistake as the dealer had put the wrong tow bar on so I do apologise for getting it wrong and a few others have picked me up on it before in the comments. I originally thought it wasn't right but anyway have a laugh at my expense.

Hi Venom-nk8nd,
