  • Long term review (500 days of ownership) of my 2006 Toyota Hilux Workmate.
    I go through what the car is like to own, drive and maintain.

    Hi Alf, I have been watching you on Home and Away for years. You are a fantastic actor. I like that you are branching out into car videos.

      Mine has about 235,000 Kim to date. Still doing it’s job. Just installed a new stereo unit so I have Bluetooth. Will have a video on that soon.
      I take this Ute everywhere with confidence that it will get me there. Glad you have had the same experience.

    Just picked up a 2011 Hilux 2.7L Petrol today. Just turned 105,000km and drives well. It's a manual and not too sure how much life the clutch as left on it, doesn't have a tachometer so hard to judge the revs. Hope you are still enjoying yours.

      They are getting silly money. Saying that, I take mine everywhere with 100% confidence of getting there and back.

    Hey mate, I’ve got a 2006 workmate exactly like yours, I was wondering if there are any modifications you would do to your workmate, I want to look at getting a nice bullbar I’ve already got some spotties 👍

      I have updated the radio so I have apple car play. I want to get a reverse camera. I was tempted to get a nudge bar and add some led driving lights. I would like to update the seats to something more comfortable (currently have a gel back rest for better lumbar support.

    How bad is the fuel economy I heard the petrol ones are thirsty

      Anywhere from 11-13litres per 100 kilometres

      I’ve got a 2021 auto model and it drinks fuel like there’s no tomorrow. Very disappointing.

      @@neilcox7879 They really need a more fuel efficient motor. The 2.7l has been around since the mid 90's. Still seeing it in new utes is very poor form from Toyota. I know they are still in production due to how bullet proof they are meant to be.

      the lack of fuel economy i the petrol is recuperated by that fact they're cheaper to maintain compared to the diesel. they're easy as piss to keep running for 500km +
