More comfortable rear suspension; Now has trailer-sway control ESC; Improved service intervals; Still a ‘proper’ tough ute with truck heritage
Space cab doesn’t get revised leaf set-up; Still no Apple CarPlay/Android Auto; No locking rear diff or telescopic steering column; Lacks modern active safety tech
Work tough and family friendly; Big truck presence; Plenty of tech for a ute; SUV-like ride comfort
Big money for a family ute; Still falls short of passenger car equipment; Won’t be Ford’s flagship for much longer (if that matters to you)
Much improved, quicker steering; A little more confident in laden and unladen on-road abilities; One of the best riding 4x4 ute packages for family comfort
Still not terribly settled with decent payload in the tub; Hard yakka capabilities still questionable when compared with key rivals; Slim pickings in terms of specification updates
Cabin is comfortable and well executed; Once rolling, the engine has plenty of punch; Feels insulated, solid and well put together
Misses out on Mazda's excellent MZD infotainment; Fuel usage a little higher than the segment leaders; Turbo lag at city speeds can get annoying
Ready to go with full factory-approved equipment; Feels as unbreakable as ever; Tough facade with a soft centre; Looks great with new off-road equipment
Not an ideal on-road ute; Big bucks for a humble HiLux; Short service intervals
