The Toyota Hilux is a name every ute buyer knows thanks to its name in the industry for being the toughest ute going around. You see them everywhere, from dusty outback tracks to inner-city streets, and they just keep going. Used by weekend warriors, construction companies, farmers and those tradies looking to get things done, it truly is a ute for all that’s “unbreakable”. It's not the fanciest on the market, but it'll get the job done, no matter what.
Under the bonnet, it's equipped with diesel and petrol engines that offer a combination of grunt and fuel economy. On top of the rear-wheel-drive entry variants, the four-wheel-drive versions are ideal for on and off-road jobs. You can take them through some seriously rough terrain, and they just keep on going.
With its simple, rugged design that makes it so capable, there are not many fancy gadgets or complicated electronics to break down, just good, old-fashioned toughness. It continues on the inside, where it's basic yet functional. You do get Android Auto and Apple Carplay on some models but don’t expect it to be a luxury SUV or anything. It's a workhorse, plain and simple. If you need a truck that's tough, reliable, and can handle just about anything you throw at it, the Hilux is your go-to.
