Thread: New truck.

One more question about the Hilux, the battery is frequently getting to a point where it is only just turning over the motor, so far it hasn't left me stranded but it is a sinking feeling every time it happens and I am just waiting for the inevitable. Toyota tested the battery and said it was fine and the issue was that the battery is only being charged to 60% to improve the fuel economy. All very noble until you don't open the door to turn off the auto headlights for a few minutes or leave an interior light on. Apparently Prados have a temp sensor which will increase the charge rate in cold weather but not the hilux's. I have a workmate with a newer Hilux who has had to be jump started several times. Is there a solution to this?
