2017 Toyota SR5 HiLux Road Test Review by STEANE KLOSE What you are looking at right here is the bestselling 4X4 in Australia in 2016. Not only did Toyota’s HiLux 4X4 outsell all competitors, the top spec SR5 was the choice of around 60 per-cent of HiLux 4X4 buyers. The growing interest in 4X4 double cab utes has mirrored their evolution from cramped, basic, truck-like work vehicles to spacious, car-like recreational vehicles boasting 5-star safety ratings and the latest infotainment systems.

And while I’m more than happy with a manual crank to wind a window up and down, air-conditioning courtesy of a bulkhead vent that lets in fresh air (along with the occasional insect) and vinyl seats, most of you aren’t. Buying a 4X4 ute no longer involves much in the way of compromise, a fact that goes a long way to explaining the explosion of interest in top-spec 4X4 utes like the SR5 HiLux and the Ford Ranger Wildtrack.

Toyota Hilux 2017 - A New Era for Pick-Up Every Inch a Hilux From AED 77,000. Vat Included. The Toyota Hilux is one of the best LCVs on the market, offering a. PROACE VERSO. HYBRID AVAILABLE. This model exists in. My Cars; Overview My Vehicle Journey Planner e-Store Owner's Manual.

It would seem we’ve all gone a bit soft Jump to Jump to Jump to Jump to Jump to MODEL OVERVIEW THIS IS THE 8th GENERATION HILUX WHICH WAS LAUNCHED IN AUSTRALIA IN SEPTEMBER 2015. The 4X4 SR5 HiLux diesel is a double cab ute and is available with a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission.

If you prefer petrol power, the SR5 is also available with a 4.0-litre petrol V6 and 6-speed auto (no manual). The diesel powered SR5 features Toyota’s latest 1GD-FTV 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine with 130kW and 420Nm (450Nm if you spec the auto). It’s Euro 5 compliant, which means a diesel particulate filter is fitted and Toyota claims a combined cycle fuel consumption of 7.5 L/100 – we averaged 8.3 L/100 on test, which included half a day of low-range off-roading. On-road the HiLux is rear wheel drive only, with traction control and electronic stability control assisting the driver in less than ideal conditions. All variants of the SR5 HiLux use the 4X4 drivetrain seen in the rest of the HiLux 4X4 range, which means electronically selectable high and low range 4WD via a dual range transfer case.

A rear diff lock is standard in the SR5. Wheels are 18 x 7.5 alloys with highway biased 265/60 R18 tyres and the full-sized spare is located under the ute bed behind the rear axle. The SR5 HiLux now comes with a genuine Toyota towbar (Toyota increased the pricing by $400 to allow for this) and is rated to tow 3500kg (braked) and has a payload of 925kg.

It’s safe as well and boasts a 5-star ANCAP rating thanks in part to a slew of safety features that includes; electronic stability control, traction control, trailer sway control, hill descent control, brake assist, electronic brake force distribution and seven airbags, although it misses out on the more expensive Ranger Wildtrack’s lane departure technology. Toyota has crafted a very nice interior. It’s simple, attractive and the quality is a notch above the competition both in the way it’s put together and the materials used. The only noticeably jarring aspect (you get used to it quickly) is the iPad like infotainment screen that is mounted in the centre of the dash. It looks like an afterthought but is okay to use – if a little difficult to adjust by touch on the move.

Thankfully the SR5’s steering wheel controls remove some of that frustration. That iPad like screen controls the 6-speaker stereo, GPS navigation and will even allow you to connect to the internet via a paired device. We didn’t try it though, we were far more interested in the air-conditioned glove-box compartment – a cool refreshing drink will always trump connectivity at Loaded4X4. (A full list of follows below.) 2017 SR-5 HiLux 4X4 recommended retail pricing (price includes GST but excludes on-road and dealer costs): SR-5 HiLux 4X4: (auto): $56,390 SR-5 HiLux 4X4: (man): $54,390; $56,390 with SR5+ premium interior (as tested) COMPETITOR PRICE COMPARISON: Holden Colorado Z71: (auto): $57,190; (man): $54,990: (auto): $61,790; (man): $59,590: (auto): $48,000; (man): N/A: (auto): $51,700; (man): $49,700: (auto): $56,990; (man): N/A. LOADED 4X4 VERDICT: Yes, damn it, we like it It’s difficult not to as there isn’t a whole hell of a lot wrong with it. I’ve got a moderate question mark hanging over the on-road ride, but that’s nothing that some aftermarket suspension gear wouldn’t fix.

The engine is as sweet as a nut, the gearbox is lovely to use, it’s very impressive off-road, well finished, comfortable, safe, big enough for the family, will lug close to a tonne and you can pop a can in the glovebox and keep it nicely chilled – it can even go online for you apparently. Sure, there’s a bit of ‘Toyota tax’ in the pricing but at full retail it’s cheaper than the roughly equivalent Ranger Wildtrack, similar in price to the Z71 Colorado and a Christmas bonus or three more exy than the BT-50 and Triton Exceed. The reality is that the Toyota faithful aren’t for the most part, going to cross-shop their next HiLux purchase, they’ll just buy it, but would we? When I cornered David with this prickly question he admitted that the HiLux had impressed him – considerably – but he couldn’t possibly ever buy one because, well just because.

I knew exactly what he meant. I on the other-hand would have no qualms about parking one in my driveway. I won’t go so far as to label it the best 4X4 ute on the market just yet, we’ve yet to put Ranger, Amarok, Triton and Colorado through the Loaded4X4 test regime, but I’m convinced it’s right up there.
