Excellent work guys. Finally we get to see how the vehicle with the 48v system compares to a vehicle without the 48V system in terms of acceleration and economy.
FYI - GR Sport Hilux is not available with the V-Active 48V. It's optional on SR, standard on SR5 and Rogue and not available on GR Sport, presumably because of the tweaked engine in that model.
Can't wait till they give this thing the tech update it needs, once the time comes it'll probably also come with a full hybrid package (maybe a bit after the new Prado?)
update, yup. Start with getting rid of the outdated leafspring suspension and drum brakes. Hyvrid? Maybe. Options won't hurt, I guess. INLINE-6 3-Liter turbo diesel will spice it up a little bit. Something like B57.
Absolute joke. Mild hybrids are a 30 year old tech, and largely a waste of time. They should have a plug in hybrid that gives you 70 km battery range - and a VTL capability to run tools off. Toyota sucks
@@hi9580 they are actual trucks, not like this which is a ute meant to be competing with the ford ranger. With the trucks, there isnt a single truck with a nice interior, therefore having no benchmark. The Hilux has a benchmark
My Povo Pack Hilux workmate dual cab 2.7 petrol auto was the cheapest one in class I could buy new. Ideal for my acreage property. I would like one of these to be honest.
Halogen light? Still an old tech fashion cluster? And an old looking small infortainment still? 2024......$55K? Am i paying for titanium made? or just normal metal? But yeah the exterior look is decent and i love the color..... but...why bother upgrade then if it not much compared to the previous Hilux spec?
I work with Toyota in sales and I have an order for the Alpha. While its in warranty then why not, but you get 20,000 times more features, comfort, power etc etc etc....... for less money then the SR. No brainer while warranty is there incase something goes wrong.
In Europe Toyota Europe have a big problem with certification of 2.8 engine and we still dont have models Hilux Gr sport 2 and dont have Hilux 48v mild hybrid.Our neighbour Ukrainian have gr sport 2 until september 2023r. This is fault of ***** European Union. Now september 2024 we cant buy any new Hilux😢
I am suspecting that Toyota's dominance here will cutting short in the next few years, unless our masters in the US are forcing us to also putting up tariff. The cars that are coming out of China in the next few years will make any Toyotas look like old tractors.
@@ricardobrown4878 yes but will the Chinese have the reliability and part support that Toyota does? I wish the Chinese exclusively made interiors for the Japanese car makers, they seem to have got that right.
when there’s a will there’s a way. it’s a tricky process to get it into the US because of certain rules, EPA evaluations, and having the gauges read mph but it’s most definitely possible.
why is it that Toyota's great powertrain and reliability isn't paired with the same level of interior look and feel ... they don't care because Toyota already has enough of the market here?
How does Toyota still get away with 2005 interiors? Yes, it's a reliable drivetrain but so is the Triton. I can't see myself in a Hilux unless they lift their game.
Still looks like a Hilux, no changes in dash or interior... all still cheap plastic and no proper sound deadening. No proper underscarpet or sound/ vibration deading, no proper sound dampening in the doors or roof lining. Still has the boring display on the instrumentation panel and radio. Still has the boring plastic center console. The entire vehicle is just a plain Hilux with a few minor cosmetic changes that ain't even worth the words. The only 'extra' is the 48V electric motor. Not worth writing home about or even purchasing it.
you buy a ute knowing the compromise you're making. If you complain about the 'lack' of sound deadening a mum bus would probably be a better option for someone like yourself
Bro , Anmol jaisawal ( indian backpacker ) is in Australia now he will be travelling with scorpion n , you can take a review from him about the car , it will help your channel grow more.
How do they get away with doing the bare necessities for the interior and changing 1° on the face of the vehicle and still charging more than most other utes?
I keep thinking Toyota mustn't be able to sell their oil shares, with how much they're dragging their feet about just making EVs of their models. Which is disappointing. I love my Camry hybrid, but I'd be over the moon to have a Camry-E. As it is, my next car is going to be a Hyundai or BYD EV, which breaks my heart, because I've always bought Camrys before. I do appreciate it having halogen lights. No more being blinded by people's lowbeam LEDs
Thanks for the jolly friar style review - stop start is not for those emergency situations- at last Toyota has been dragged kicky and screaming to add a damped tailgate with gas struts- come on Toyota look after us and not your shareholders.
Other than the US wait for the BYD Shark with its DM 5-0 tech it will run rings around the Toy . Sorry yanks your government kills it for you . Thank you GM & Ford for pulling out of manufacturing here in Australia now we get good Chinese manufactured cars .
Whats with that urgency of modern garbage?? Reliability comes with a cost, in this case the cost is a dated truck, but this truck can last many many years more than a more modern truck!!
'The Duel Cab Ute' .. The greatest Con Job on the motoring public by manufacturers .. 50 , 60 , 70, 80 + K .. for a ute ,, lol .. but hang on , it has buttons and extra cup holders and an air vent with a USB charger next to the map pocket with an auto cooling grab handle .. blah blah ..

the fact i open the comments and this is the first thing i find..its so true💀

Excellent work guys. Finally we get to see how the vehicle with the 48v system compares to a vehicle without the 48V system in terms of acceleration and economy.
But the reliability?? And service cost ?? I hope the drive belt service is easy as non 48V SYSTEM
This is better than cybertruck.
🤣
You wish 😂
Of course. Not sure if there is a truck anywhere that is worse than a cybertruck. I think it's known as the wankpanzer .
Cybertrucks are for attention seeking influencers
Cybertruck WHO ??
FYI - GR Sport Hilux is not available with the V-Active 48V. It's optional on SR, standard on SR5 and Rogue and not available on GR Sport, presumably because of the tweaked engine in that model.
Best part about this Hilux is it'll take you back to 2015 when petrol was a $1.20L.
😂 I wish it would take me back to 2015
But it's a diesel lol
Real world economy is actually no better....sadly.

Toyota sucks
I wish it had LED Lights both front and rear.
It doesn't even have rear air vents... good luck!
i think the higher trims have LEDs.
Great work Ute, trouble is users want plush family car
It's not a hybrid mild hybrids are just a gimmick that's why they aren't marketing it as hybrid to not confuse their actual hybrids
Stop start diesels especially with egr and dpf is really bad for the engine and reliability
Wow, that interior looks like its from a 15 year old car...crazy people would pay 55K for this.
My thoughts exactly the interior hasn’t changed in 15 years 😮 it’s just the same car and they change the grill every couple years rip off
More than $55K closer to $60K
wow what a turd…. it really hasn’t aged well.
Hino 300, Isuzu NPS, Fuso Canter interior is worse and those are $100k+

Ill drive my old shitbox until the government kicks me out of it for emission reasons. Because car companies need MORE money
I wish Toyota returns those tie-down hooks for the Philippines version of the Hilux. I find that feature really, really useful.
👍 nice, smart upgrade
It’s a bonus this update is also faster while being more fuel efficient.

Would like to see the gr sport with battery also where is your sidekick😊
Hilux best pickup by far
People who miss daddy Jacob

Is there trouble in paradise?
1.4kwh. thanks for your research
Wonder what your opinion would be like if the Fortuner gets the same 48V treatment as the Hilux (such model exists in South Africa).

Neat approach to use electricity to save fuel with no outlet required. Sure would be nice to be able to buy one in the USA.
In terms of interior, I prefer the vinyl steering wheel and hard plastic centre console lid.
After owning soft, they wear out fast.
Isn’t it bad for a diesel engine to turn on and off?
Give it a test off-road...and please use the same sr model
Toyota urgently needs to refresh this interior because durability must not be used to exempt interior quality and aura
None of the electric power goes to the wheels, it’s all to run engine accessories. Also the SR isn’t the base model.
I loved driving the Hilux while I was overseas. It’s too bad that we do not have it here in the US.
Hardly a hybrid. It’s a bolted in started motor lol
Laying in the tub with face to the floor and arms tucked under may be the most amusing thing I'll see today. Ty
I'm pretty sure my mum's 2014 corolla has the same centre screen on the dashboard.
No it doesn’t. This one is slightly bigger.. ;) haha
Ram has had this technology for 5 years in its v8etorque
And?
I was going to get one of these but I'm seriously thinking about getting the Cannon Alpha now.

2025

How do we get a left hand drive GR or this model if we live in the US? Where can it be imported from?
when there’s a will there’s a way. it’s a tricky process to get it into the US because of certain rules, EPA evaluations, and having the gauges read mph but it’s most definitely possible.
Would you buy this or wait for the 2025 model ?
Wait till 2025 I think but worried about how much more expensive new model will be?
Id still buy either model ☺️
why is it that Toyota's great powertrain and reliability isn't paired with the same level of interior look and feel ... they don't care because Toyota already has enough of the market here?
Correct. Toyota is milking their bottom line. Gotta get those shareholders paid!!
How’s the vibration in the cab at idle?
It still a good old hilux 👍 build to last long
How does Toyota still get away with 2005 interiors? Yes, it's a reliable drivetrain but so is the Triton. I can't see myself in a Hilux unless they lift their game.
Kinda surprised that ford doesn’t sell the maverick over there
I see Toyota is still using the same cruise control stalk like on my father's 1990 Cressida.
We Americans get screwed by Toyota. 39k for a mild hybrid and diesel. The epa sucks!
Ukraine police and military are using Hilux supplied by the US makes me question why not send their mighty Ford F150 or Ram ey?
Sooo frustrating because we don’t get the HILUX in the US. Only the Tacoma (petrol V6) for about $55k USD.
@@jshaw125 The US just got the Landcruiser Prado for 60k, it ain't a truck but it's a really great SUV
Because the other brands are shit
Looks ten years lazy compared to other brands
does sand mode mean high gear ratios + difflock? i'm guessing not
Why would you buy a base model ute or a sr5 and not get a steel/alloy tray? That's just doing it wrong.

Piss weak hybrid system- Toyota hates electric. They could have easily put in bigger battery and more powerful electric motor but no
Does this come in a manual transmission?
This, or the BYD Shark 🦈?
bot
Shark by a mile. Toyota missed the opportunity to build something useful that could actually be a real hybrid, sadly.
BUT DOES IT HAVE REAR DISCS ?
So what’s going to happen when the Ranger adds a mild hybrid as well
The Ranger will still break down 😅
Yes please for cross country.❤
14:52 "Ya Mumz Ugly" - a wise man in an SR hilux
Gr sport active review why isn't it done yet
No V-Active system available on the GR Sport. SR (opt) SR-5 and Rogue only.
Does the Fortuner get it?
Does it come with eCVT like most Toyota Hybrids?
No
Does South Africa🇿🇦 supply you guys with the Ranger and Hilux?
Pretty sure both the Hilux and Ranger are built in Thailand for our market.
Only the new Amarok comes from South Africa for the Australian market (in terms of Utes)
should have the bugger on back like the 1989 hilux
Why does it look outdated
If it looks like it, it probably is it.
Because like you, most people who get utes are yuppies who want a car but need to compensate with a bigger vehicle
@@Thisguysfromhere And what do people like you do?
@@CarSauce Yeah, it looks looks worse and older than previous models. Interior is pathetic as well

New model based on Tacoma due when?
Making it even more painful to maintain without getting electric shock
Probably the same as maintaining a current ice car, you just disconnect the battery when working on it 🤡🤡
You won’t get an electric shock from 48V unless you stick your tongue across the voltage.

Manuel or no ute
We got hybrid hilux before GTA6
Anything is better than made in China. But this sounds pretty good and I'd have it any day over a Ford.
Take a good look at the BYD Shark. Toyota missed an opportunity to compete.
Why not just make it a true hybrid?
Whats with that urgency of modern garbage?? Reliability comes with a cost, in this case the cost is a dated truck, but this truck can last many many years more than a more modern truck!!
Legit question. Can you jump start it?
It still has a normal 12v battery and a normal starter. So yes
Does the battery drive the car. NO. NOT a Hybrid!
do other hybrid utes please
