As the old saying goes: if you want to go off road buy a Land Rover. If you want to go off road and GET HOME buy a Landcruiser/Hilux. Not a hope ANY Land Rover can compete with Toyota's legendary reliability and dependability! The choice is clear!
My friend bought a brand new Landrover Velar. He actually took it back after two months and got his money back after it spent weeks in the shop while they tried to make it go. It simply would not drive properly.
I have had two Ranger Wildtracks...and there was nothing wrong with them they were great..the latest 2.2 BiTurbo is a fantastic engine better than the previous 3.2 ..I purchased my Invincible X 1st March 2021 IN RED ADDED LOADS OF XTRAS CAME IN AT 41K A LOT FOR A PICK UP...But it is superb the new engine is sweet no Adblue nonsense self cleans , ride is great not as good or smooth as the ranger but the build quality sets it apart..miles better than the Ranger in every dept... although the uprated engine is 2.8 i dont think it as good as the Ranger 2.2 BI Turbo until you put the Hilux iinto power mode then it is crazy fast and meets the Rangers performance..this is my 3rd Hilux and it is definitely the best.
@@mattdaines8054 I also own one, got my baby last November.. already did a lot of modification to it.. one thing for sure, the best looking Hilux so far and definitely one of the best looking out of factory pickup truck in market right now.. see it for urself in real life, looks thousand time better than in the video... the stock suspension is definitely way better than previous hilux, very comfortable and I add an aftermarket absorber, feels even better now..
Mines not coming till late Feb! Got the most basic Active as wanted it for a work vehicle. Can’t wait. If I had the money I’d get the Invincible X for the daily.
1st and only Toyota I ever owned was an unstoppable 1983 Toyota 4X4 single cab hi-lux, which in the U.S. wasn't called hi-lux, it was just called "truck". Underpowered, rode rougher than a lumber wagon, but it was the best vehicle I ever owned to date. Tougher than a 5 cent steak. I kept it for 22 years, and sold it in 2005 with 123,000 miles on it. I miss it. With the "chicken tax" in america, we won't see the hilux here until that tax is gone. So, I've never bought another Toyota since my 1983 truck. Still waitin'. I don't want the tacoma or the tundra. Nothing will ever match the grit of the hilux. Wake up, america.
Just ordered a 2021 4x2 as I'm not an off-road freak. I think it should suffice to the country-side style living and carrying stuff. Plus the yearly tax in my country for a 4x4 is exactly 4 times more than the tax for the 4x2. Great video. Thanks.
I live in Thailand where 90% of sales of the Hilux are 4x2. I own a Hilux DOuble Cab 4x2 and have never had a time that I have needed a 4x4 for either shopping in the supermarket, touring Thailand or driving on gravel roads to my farm.
I was going to say same thing about tax and I saw you are from the Turkey too 😀 If someone is wondering why there is such tax difference the reason is 4x4 pick ups are taxated commercially while buying which means very low tax however, since people are using them for recreational purposes rather then commercial, government takes normal car tax every year.
I'm in New Zealand currently considering buying one of these.I can pretty much guarantee that 90% of hilux 4x4 sold here hardly ever (if ever)go off road.4x2 would suit most peoples needs if they were honest with themselves.
The Toyota will always get my vote before any ford! Other trucks might offer a little bit more 'luxury' but 'Top Gear' proved that this truck is invincible
Different content and very interesting review about this workhorse that now as the power to match the rivals. In my opinion is still one of best in this segment, with this update just raised the bar for a grown up and complete product. The reliability just makes it an invencible pick up.
L200 can carry more, tow more and is stronger. Pretty plush and finished with better interiors. Cheaper also. Hilux does have the down hill assist where L200 doesn’t but otherwise pound for pound it’s probably the better vehicle. But the Hilux has a Toyota engine. Not saying the L200 isn’t reliable and well built but just saying… it’s a Toyota. That holds a lot of weight.
@@supercruiser4925 Tacoma is a watered down truck that we used to get direct from Japan. It's now an American made truck with a Toyota badge to appeal to the American truck market. Case in point the American made frame used on Tacoma's that rust out a crack in some cases with a few years of new. The Tacoma is a 4x4 made for American roads, where as a Hilux is a 4x4 made for offroading like it was always meant to be.
@ysc For developing countries and is sold in Europe? This Hillux is tougher than any Full Size truck sold in North America, tell me a truck sold in your country that can resist the weight of 1 ton in the bed?
Would love to see a comparison done with Ford ranger wildtrak, I have one from new 4 year old with 100,000 and changing this year to something, ranger has been a great workhorse and value for money, like the look of the hilux but it’s pricey in comparison.
Hi Matt, it is a voice-over... Of our own review! You can read our first drive in full here: www.autoexpress.co.uk/toyota/hilux/353811/new-toyota-hilux-2020-review We thought we'd try out this slightly different format from our usual, for those times when a car we drive on a launch deserves a video review, but for whatever reason it isn't possible to shoot one. The content and opinions are just the same, even if they lack the personal touch of one of our faces on screen. Some might even say that's a good thing 👀 Thanks very much for the feedback and we hope you enjoyed the vid! Alex
@@Autoexpress Thanks for the explanation, it's always worth trying something new. Personally I find I get much more out of a review with the presenter in the car and talking through their findings.. or a normal shoot, as perhaps you might call it. Still some useful information, although I have to admit moist of my experience in a Hilux has been on visits to poor countries where I've been amazed at how well they keep going no matter how poorly they are treated. I wonder how these new more hi tech ones will survive when they turn up in such places in a few year's time.
I was shopping around for a while and found Autoebid the cheapest. Toyota currently offering 0%interest and a £2000 reduction on the price. Im getting mine hire purchase so not sure about pcp

Hello! We reviewed this very Hilux in December 2020 - you can read our first drive in full here: www.autoexpress.co.uk/toyota/hilux/353811/new-toyota-hilux-2020-review Unfortunately we're not always able to bring our own camera operator along to every launch we attend (particularly given the current situation), so on this occasion, the footage was shot by Toyota. Hope you enjoyed the video regardless :) P.S. What are you Cornwall's Answer to?
Why keep talking about the L200 when they are withdrawing from Europe ? would of been better to be comparing to the Nissan Navara , similar power 190 BHP , better ride 5 link coil suspension , nicer interior , as well as the Ford , similar power , more room , more workman like vehicle .
@@miklossomogyi2283 Yes mate , since that comment was posted the UK market is now just left with Toyota , Isuzu and Ford with proper pickups or a gamble on the Ssangyong musso if having a car based pickup doesn't bother you.
So if you want a manual you have to get the anemic engine tune. Clearly Toyota is trying to kill off the manual here claiming low sales because no 9ne wants a gutless engine
Unless you want to frighten small children why would you want to make it look "more menacing" (00:57)? Or do people think that driving a "menacing -looking" truck will make them appear more butch ? Nice color though.
For the longest I considered buying a ticket to Afghanistan, infiltrate the Taliban and steal one of these bad boys because I just can't find any for sale.
As a Hilux fan this is a major let down .... No ubs sockets in rear no air vents in rear. Mind your head in the rear with the handles that don't fold. There lot's moan about seat bolster giving way see hilux groups on fb. Sat nav very very slow This basic model has been out in Aus and South Africa for a few years it's had plastic bits stuck on the outside and called it a new model, untill you look closer and you see it's years old in the back same in the front with cheap looking speakers stuck in the corners ..... have a look at Nissan due out 2021

Toyota HILUX ALL DAY EVERY DAY👍🏻
is a Toyota, nothing else even comes close, love it
Only drive Toyota, had three and no issues.....,
few actually comprehend the fact that the Auris/Corolla or Hilux are best selling not because of their low price.
Not just because it's cheap but it strength most people aremt going to just buy a car just because its cheap
Toyota is the best all around car company.
Sure looks better now. And a stronger engine is a plus. Would love to own one.

Great review
Looking to buy either a hilux or landcruiser. Cannot decide which? A comparison video would be great
Put that interior in the near Tacoma / 4Runner!
I enjoyed watching the First Video Review of 2021
Super test 👍🏻 perfect Toyota 😎😍
I will definitely would take on in heart beat but i Califinia there no highlux sad really sad.
I enjoy driving it , Hilux is the best ute for me.

Cannot imagine this ever going electric
Cool easter egg: the GX70 from the plates is a chassis code for 80's Toyota Cresta/Mark II
If I could own one in Canada, I would take it over the Tacoma any day.
Tacoma is way better.

@Guy martin nothing in a Tacoma is Japanese made.
@Guy martin not even a little bit. Better than ford, Chevy and Dodge? Yes, bit nothing like the reliable Toyota's from Japan.
Looks like a ranger in a way. Cool look!
I have the 2017 model best thing ever I can't wait to upgrade tho
I wish these would come to usa!
My next motor, already have the mk7 !!!
Why doesnt Toyota sell this one in the US compete with the Ford Maverick?
How much would it cost for the lamp cover,for extra cab 4x4 2.8 GD6
Wish I could buy one here in the United States
Hating those plastic wheel arches
How come it is said on video the hilux invincible x is 32k price?
3:40 to see a lovely example of massive understeer 😄
"except in North America".... *face palm* WHY! (as a Canadian...)
Usually if a company won’t bring a product to North America it’s because they are scared.
@ysc I hear you, but the grill of the Tacoma IMO is one of the ugliest on the road.
I like the look of my 1999 Tacoma far better...again IMO.
@ysc good to know! :)

I prefer the Hilux. The ranger always gets fantastic reviews. Guaranteed reliabilty with the Hilux, not sure about Ford
I do my work with hilux since 2012. New hilux 2016-2021 model is a mesh so sensitive for the computer sensor, bla bla bla..
Did you know that 70% of Land rovers are still on the road? The other 30% have got to their destination......
Looks better than the last one would have to test drive one and see just what it will do!!
is it relevant to count in seconds the 0-100 kph? its a pickup its not designed to drive fast right?
I wouldn't really believe its relevant as its built for its off road capability.
Is that a diesel ranger?
It's not 2021 model that's 2020 model?
What do I think, is how the heck can I bring this to texas
very nice i love it
