    I have owned three Toyota Hilux's so far. Looking at upgrading again soon.
    All three have never missed a beat.
    Each one served as a purpose that I needed at that time, great vehicle.

      I’ll have to watch again ha ha to much to remember.
      I bought the sr 19 and makes me laugh how many people are amazed at the capability of mine.
      Stock tyres and until sept 21 stock suspension (now ome and bp51 shocks)
      Not bogged yet.
      Sand, mud, gravel hills ruts small creek crossings.
      I’m struggling to even bother spending on tyres when so far not needed.
      Great vid
      My biggest problem was and still is getting in and out of L2 and locking the rear so this weekend going to fine tune that now watching this vid.

      ​@@鍔木紀子 it depends - your 2022 Hilux has been designed and built by engineers that have built your vehicle in a tried-and-tested way to get the best possible results and driving performance for most common uses. If you want to use your Hilux in a way that may differ from the norm or you have other needs, then your first step is to go to your nearest Toyota Store and ask them for recommendations based on your needs and your particular model.

    Very informative, I have a 2016 Hilux 2.8 but wondering why the rear locker keeps dropping out.Have to keep activating every time you stop get going again?
    The rear factory locker can only be used on Low range, no good for sand driving or when momentum is needed.
    I had to get a E locker fitted to the front so I can have a locker using High range especially driving through sandy Exits. Absolute necessity !!
    At times its difficult to change back through from 4 L to 4h or even activating the rear Locker.
    I always have to select Neutral and (rock back and forth) that help some times.
    The Installer did tell me the rear diff lock is just a LSD maybe that's why its not very effective, It would be interesting to see if anyone had the same experience.
    Cheers ,
    Mick S.

      Well spotted, Bam! Pete is an expert but does tend to push his utes to the limit to see how much they'll take. My understanding, though, is that the official word from Toyota is the vehicle should be stationary when making this change. I just had a quick Google and see Toyota UK reference that here: blog.toyota.co.uk/hilux-four-wheel-drive-system#:~:text=To%20shift%20from%20H4%20to,control%20switch%20to%20engage%20L4.

      They all either have 70 series whatever landcruiser N trek warrior, ranger all running better tyres.
      Me just the road all terrains and a 2 inch lift from arb with remote res shocks for corrugations.
      And the whole time they keep asking if or when will I be getting better tyres. But also not working out how I keep getting through without a hitch.
      I only bought replacement upgraded tyres of the same size still once warn out just to keep mates happy. Then they asked did it feel better? To which is said not really.😂
      I love my HiLux.
      I’d say the manual would still be awesome. The auto makes 4wding easier once the correct modes are selected. And to be honest don’t even think you have to get the modes that correct to still look like a pro.

    You clearly love the auto, but is the manual any good?

      A manual can be started with a push down a hill if your battery is flat, an automatic cannot.

      No need to feel bad, Nathan. These vehicles were meant to withstand more than a little red lining, and this Hilux was well warmed up by the time the video came around.

      As the person who filmed this (along with my colleague, Ash), I completley agree Gerard! :D We had the option of employing a professional videographer, but we've actually found better success the less 'polished' videos that are just simply one of our team with a basic camera. The pros also tend to crop a lot of the vocals in favour of fast moving fancy shots, and we didn't want to do that. At the end of the day, we're at the dealership level with a limited budget. The value in this video is Pete's knowledge, and hopefully that comes across ok. My apologies for the shakey-cam either way! ^Mark

    Great pres but it actually confirms automatic are a pain in the arse and they will never be as reliable and durable as a manual. CVT are notoriously rubbish, if they reach 80K lifespan it is a miracle, I am guessing the Hilux is a DCT which is slightly more reliable albeit you won't get 300K out of them and they are super expensive to repair. This is where the manual wins it for me, no point buying a car capable of reaching 400K if you have to have your auto transmission replaced or repaired every 100K. Now I don't know what the new Toyota "assisted" manual is and I don't like the sound of it too much (assisted sounds like automatic to me) I am just missing the 100% manual low gear knob because for me the main interest is that sometime going proper off road you come to a stop in front of a daunting obstacle, you're not going to drive straight into it and shift H2 to H4 to L4. You are going to stop you are going to assess, you are going to engage low gear and then go through the obstacle very slowly. I wish 4WD manufacturer would produce an "old school" series of their off roaders, no electric seats, no air conditioning, no electric windows, no leather, just rugged fabrics and rubber to the interior and everything manual for an affordable price, basically a tractor that is road capable without being a formula 1. Bouncy rides don't bother me so much, it comes with the size of the car because these things are meant to be driven, they are meant to be a bit physical. The whole assisted this and that sometimes is just a name code for over engineered aka will let you down. A great durable 4WD should have very little electronic and be absolutely bulletproof. I am not super convinced that the latex Hilux is as durable as the models from the 90s for this reason. I am a biker and I am the same with my bikes, I hate bikes that you don't feel, they ride soft, there is no character nor physicality to it and it feels unsafe. Whatever the vehicle is you should feel a response to it, clutch are meant to be a bit physical to shift, pedals and steering wheels are meant to be a little physical too. I don't think that clients realize that the less physical a car is, the more parts there are and the more parts there are to assist you, the more likely it is to break down. Less moving parts is always better for durability. Thanks for the presentation though, it is great. I like that it is not a permanent 4WD. For me the match is between the Hilux and the Mercs X350D, granted Toyota is always a better choice in NZ.

    You want the specification range of power using the throttle to progressively increase speed.
