Thread: Modern Hilux, what to look for

Looking at low mileage (less than 60K on the clock), SR5 4WD, 2014 would be the oldest we would go although there is a slim chance we may buy brand new however it is very very slim. Will be thru a dealer and Automatic.

If you own one of a similar age what is your opinion and would you buy another. Do they have any known faults I should know about.

Hopefully they will be more reliable than a BT50 as we have had 3 major repairs in 3 years (on a truck that has only done 120k) and if it weren't for the aftermarket warranty we would be stuffed

I've recently bought a 2013 Hilux 3.0 TD 4WD, manual (6months ago), came with tough deck/ high canopy. ODO: 102,000km, it was an ex lease vehicle.

We have four working dogs, bloody great not having to smell wet dog/clean out the back. Great for chucking the dirty/bloody hunting gear in the back too.

Its real comfortable to drive on the road, has the power when you need it. No faults to report.
