Flexible engine with plenty of torque and high efficiency; Roomy inside with stacks of storage; New suspension revisions improve ride
Missing some basic comfort features; Expensive recommended retail price; Not as good as we expected off-road
Improved refinement; Decent (but not earth-shattering) acceleration; Class-leading available tech; Impressive ride and handling for a leaf-sprung ute
Standard safety not good enough at $60K; Rear seat passengers still left to wilt; A few minor pauses from the 10-speed auto; Big and beastly in urban spaces
Interior like an SUV; Still feels car-like to drive; Slightly improved as a load hauler
Squeezy interior space; Unladen ride not the benchmark it once was; Refinement needs work
Plenty of easy-access torque; Basic but not bare; Longer-distance service intervals; Not afraid to get down and dirty
Still misses out on tough truck looks; Fiddly infotainment; Falling behind on safety tech
Consummate load-carrier; No-nonsense, ergonomic cabin; Excellent off the beaten path; Improved warranty offer; Toyota's vast dealer network
Middling engine performance; Short servicing intervals; Lacking active safety tech; Dangerous rear overhead grab handles
