    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

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.

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 👀

      ​@@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.
