Best 4x4 dual cab ute in Australia? 2023 Toyota HiLux Rogue review

  • Sorry to break it to you, but it's not the best 4x4 pick-up. It's not even close.
    While it might be improved over the standard HiLux, a lot of the old niggles and annoyances remain. It rides better, yes, and it looks tougher than ever. But this grade is more expensive, has a lower payload, and doesn't have a power bump over the standard models.
    It also has a slightly more impressive cabin, but it's SO FAR BEHIND THE TIMES in terms of interior design, technology and finishes, that it feels like it is stuck in the late twenty-teens.
    It's also got shorter service intervals than most utes, and still rides horribly, in comparison.
    So why would you choose it over any other ute? You tell me. I'd love to hear anything other than "because it's a Toyota", "great off road", "best resale value", or "unbreakable".

    If I have to go for a trip around Australia would I choose the Hilux or Ranger? personally I would choose the Hilux for peace in mind.
    The comparison is made based on brand new trucks, the fair and accurate comparison should be made between them @ 50,000 and 100,000 Km's then the reliability and practicality will play big factor in deciding which one is better.
    I used to own a wild track ranger @ 100,000 Km's all 4 shocks started leaking, all bushes gone, gearbox playing up, annoying noises in the interior and dashboard, AC fans and vents needed replacement, and much more. thus, I replaced it with Hilux Rogue 23, not because of the riding dynamics is better nor the tech's but because I wanted a reliable truck that can serve me for years to come with no headache.
    Thanks

    Hey Matt, how would you compare this to the Navara Pro 4X Warrior? Both are pretty old platforms but $72k drive away on the Warrior seems like good value for what you get considering for MY23 they added heated electric seats.

    Matt, great honest review… do you feel the Pro 4X warrior is a good Ute? I’m after an outta the box competent 4wd… I have a triton now, but has no diff lock or super select x it’s a GLX-R and I think ive reached the point in 4wd where I’ve reached the limit of the triton in standard form, so I either throw money at the triton or buy something else with better out of the factory performance.

    Thanks Matt - I drive a 2010 diesel auto SR Hilux and quite impressed with its off-road ability and reasonably comfortable on road performance - like the Rogue I enjoy the confidence of analogue dials and knobs on the infotainment system - the Ford Ranger has been highlighted in recent media stories of failing LCD panels, failed electronic parking brake and stopping immediately at 80 km per hour without warning - with the new Hilux also having a conventional handbrake instead of electronic parking break means I’m likely to always have breaking ability when stationary - I’ll always choose a Toyota ute over any other brand for reliability and build quality - not negotiable - the only elephant in the room is the fact the new Landcruiser V6 diesel burns a lot of oil which may be an issue if the next gen Hilux has it - I’d choose a basic SR Hilux and put the A$ savings towards accessories including hydraulic struts on the rear tailgate as I’ve done with my N70 Hilux - the problem with a wider track/body is narrow bush tracks will be a no go unless you’re happy to scratch the duco.

    Straight and to the point Mat. I like that you have not been indoctrinated into the Toyota religion, where if you point out all the wrong doings of Toyota - nerds keep buying them and always throw up the "reliability" point card. (lets not mention the DPF ), to justify their purchase decision. I sometimes wonder if the Toyota buyer, buys on supposed reputation, rather than researching and taking an understanding of the mechanics and engineering? Don't get me wrong, they make a good product - but it is a product that is not streets ahead of anything else, segment to segment. I thought the Rogue was pitched at off-road market, but then rolls on highway treads? Guess it's a price thing.

    Newest spec sheet isn't always best. I've just ordered one of these over the Ranger as I cannot trust a vehicle that has so much tech and a fresh powerplant (too many unknowns). Hilux has a tried and tested platform which has had all of the bugs worked out. Ranger 5 years from now maybe. I've owned 4X4's that I couldn't trust and there is no worse feeling when you are remote.

    Would be interested in a comparison between top spec Triton and the Rouge. As I don't know squat about 4x4 Ute's I just hear about the reliability of the Mitsubishi and there gearbox set up. I'm not a brand fan so any help would be great.

    • @therightcar
      @therightcar  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Brenton. I have driven both and I would much prefer to live with the Triton. If you are aiming for a 4x4 to actually take off-roading then the HiLux would be a better bet. But as far as living with it, Triton is a much more easygoing rig.

    • @351tgv
      @351tgv ปีที่แล้ว

      Some feedback about Triton:
      Engine and transmission are not that good in terms of reliability, that said as far as I know there has been very little or next to nothing said about the DPF/EGR.
      Mitsubishi have set the suspension up to be as soft as possible but that has the unwanted "wallow" effect, steering and brakes are fine for this class, if you like feel through the wheel then the Triton with its hydraulic power steering is for you.
      Interior and exterior are more function than form based but that is fine as everything works the way it should work, not flashy but functional.
      The best feature is Super Select II (which will be in the upcoming Nissan based Triton), this allows drivers to basically be in AWD mode at any given time at any speed any road surface and condition, the torque split is while in 4H (open centre diff) re: AWD is something like 30/70 so understeer (or pulling effect) on steering is pretty manageable via the ESP/TC system, there is a downside though with fuel usage about 5% more than being in standard 2WD mode, you of course have 4x4 High (which locks the cntre diff for full 50/50 torque split on dirt/icy roads) then 4x4 Low and if you need more there is a Rear Diff Locker that said using RDL means you lose traction control for the front wheels, it is and is not a major issue but could be.
      If I were in the market for this type of vehicle (and I will be in around 10 months but putting the order in start of June for the EOFYS) I would put Triton well ahead of the China options like GWM/LDV and the South Korean Musso, to me the Triton is up there with the current gen Navara (the Np300 or D23) has been a surprise since 2015 save for the saggy rear suspension if towing otherwise it is a great vehicle from Nissan and Prodrive makes its better, as for the Hilux Rouge going head to head against it? Nope.

      ​@@351tgv hey mate. I am curious, where did you get the info about Triton engine and transmission not being reliable? Hilux, Fortuner , dmax, mux triton all use the same Aisin transmission. They just tune it differently. The only issue with the Triton engine is the size, but it still goes well. I drive a Mr Triton glx plus. I have been in the new Hilux sr and older hiluxes. I have driven hiluxes and prados. And there is a huge difference between them in comfort and everyday drive. Off-road difference between them is definately not something that should really impact your purchasing decision.

    Im abit confused with this review, 4x4 utes are known for there off road abilities, i think alot of people who buy these utes would prioritise off road ability and reliability over how comfortable they are driving to work. I think this should be taken into account when comparing or determining what the "best" ute is. If all you plan to do is drive around your local streets then yes your review meets that buyer but for the most part i think off road ability is important. I also think re sale value should be added to your review, in 5-10yrs time having the ability to claw back some of the 70k will be handy for most people and the hilux holds there value like crazy. Not a toyota owner btw and i liked your review, but i am looking to buy a 4x4 ute and these things are what im looking for in a review cheers!

    Hey Matt nice review I’ve got one of these 23 rogues in Saturn blue (12000 kms in 3 months and it’s a dream. It drives great. The interior is dated I admit but I not one to fuss. My best mate has a 23 raptor and I’ll admit my hilux just doesn’t compete in driving dynamics and features. But throwing on a set of falken wild peaks instead of those horrible grandtrek road tyres it is just the best off-road. I just don’t like how the locking diff is only in 4 low. But to conclude if the raptor didn’t have a 2 year wait list I would have gotten one but having lived with the hilux and never stressing over reliability and haven’t regretted my choice + it’s great to live with ( I am 19 so a ride isn’t that big of an issue). An assisted tailgate would be nice tho as I use I’d a lot for work and opening and closing the tailgate while holding materials is tough.

      Ford have royally screwed up by not offering the 2.3L turbo petrol i4 in Everest and Ranger, it drives so well in the Amarok that should VW decide to offer it in lower spec it will be the best seller, also steering wise VW have a faster ratio and slightly heavier on the assistance levels which makes it feel like an SUV, the rear is at best lumpy but near as good as the previous gen Amarok, the interior? MEH, no hard knobs/buttons for AIR wil hurt but you get used to it, seats are as good as Ranger/Everest, I would rate the Amarok as good as Ranger and with turbo petrol power its got non e of that garbage Euro 6 diesel worries about it, that said it is Euro 6 for petrol so does have a PPF and therefore you need minimum 95 RON.

    Does Toyota think people have forgotten their terrible/ notorious avoidance on warranty issues - too the point ,people were forced too sue ( DPF ) and Toyota was found guilty and now they have serious oil consumption issues with the LC300. I was a die hard Toyota customer but not anymore nor will I touch a Ford they have major transmission overheating issues. When are these companies going to stop using Australians as their own R&D mugs and stop dumping inferior quality vehicles that have huge price tags on the Australian market.For the record I defy anyone too prove what I have stated above too be incorrect.

    the embargo should of lifted as it was set to expire at 5pm Friday 5th May 2023.
    Ford have royally screwed up by not offering the 2.3L turbo petrol i4 in Everest and Ranger, it drives so well in the Amarok that should VW decide to offer it in lower spec it will be the best seller, also steering wise VW have a faster ratio and slightly heavier on the assistance levels which makes it feel like an SUV, the rear is at best lumpy but near as good as the previous gen Amarok, the interior? MEH, no hard knobs/buttons for AIR con will hurt but you get used to it, seats are as good as Ranger/Everest, I would rate the Amarok as good as Ranger and with turbo petrol power its got none of that garbage Euro 6 diesel worries about it, that said it is Euro 6 for petrol so does have a PPF and therefore you need minimum 95 RON, my advice? get used to paying for 98 RON if you by it as that way you get the full potential of the torque cure and peak power upgrade.
    VW have there own specific transmission shift points for the 10-speed torque converter, the engine has more then enough torque where the transmission is not downshifting to keep speed with or with out cargo / towing load, in terms of torque its similar to the sequential turbo diesel but with a wider torque curve so you can push to 4,500rpm and its pulling like a train in lets say 5th/6th gear, the downside? fuel usage, I did around 500km in the test version around Sydney metro and all the way out to Bathurst (granted we went though Bells line and not Great Western Highway (both ways) and anyone who have driven Bells Line knows what I mean by altitude changes up and down), numbers? combined was showing average of 15.7L per 100km, it started to drop down once of the M4 back to Sydney but then we hit traffic at Parramatta and that is where the fuel usage went up again (Sydney traffic is MEH so it is what is), at Bathurst we did 3 laps of Mount Panorama which was great.
