Blisten,
good to see a calm conversation mate dont you agree?

either way you look at it all the jap trucks are equally as good as each other. toyota has promoted theirs a lot better hence why they enjoy the spoils in sales that they do now.

ill repeat again…….
all the jap trucks are as good as each other whether it be a mitsubishi, mazda, ford or toyota they are all equal.

they only real thing that separates them is price. the hilux is probably the worst value for money…why? well because they can charge extra when they become the default choice for a light truck

Tony,
you jumped the gun mate…….
try following the conversation before you comment

Oz, i am sure Tony would agree with yourself on the matter. No the Hilux is not the toughest and Toyota don’t engineer it to be so within it’s own line up aswell. I believe the 70 and 200 series would take that mantle in Australia and probably the Tundra within it’s US range of vehicles.

I believe each paty of made some good points. Lets just try and compare apples to apples without each of us going overboard – myself included.

Regardless, over the years the Hilux has certainly proven to be a hard example to pass for durability. Very little can often seperate competitors when new or near new but the true values of each are all to often surfaced when they begin to age with time, miles and exposure and this is an area were Toyota has well for itself.

The whole Hilux and F truck thing happened when TP implied that the Lux they {Top Gear } took to the North Pole was a Toyota….so then the reply came back that if that was a Toyota then F250 monster Trucks must be Ford!

Did you note the Hilux they used in the early TG was a Japanese made model…….why didn’t they use one thats now made in Thailand I wonder ?

Tony Rodrega, make sure you check what’s going on first. TP thinks the Hilux is the toughest in the world.

And why are we comparing a F truck with a Hilux? Because we showing an example of a vehicle which is tougher than a Hilux.

BTW, we are not disputing any test of time where a Hilux would do well – You CAN’T change that.

Andrew – why are you comparing the Hilux to a F series as they are not competitors. You should be comparing the Ranger to the Lux and the Tundra to the F.

That’s what any resonable person would do.

Let me tell you, a Hilux is very tough unit as demonstrated over many long and often hard years. Nothing comes more truer then the greatest test of all … Test Of Time – and you carn’t change that.

Oz, why are you comparing a truck to a Lux.

Paul: if you want an offical source to show what’s tougher than a Hilux, I’ll take a photo of a semi trailer’s chassies and A Hilux’s chassie beside each other and I’ll post it on the forum if you like….
