All New Hilux

Beats me why they use low profile tyres with alloy rims on a 4WD they promote as a rugged off roader.
Appearance wise looks like a clone of about a dozen other 4 WD utes on the market at the moment.
But then again I’m an old 70 series fossil.

Interestingly enough was the current Hilux, over 10 years old in design now, topped the sales charts for May 2015. Not bad for an old girl. Reckon the new model will bust the sales charts right open.

Like all the modern SUV,s and many "rugged 4wd"..they are chasing the café-lattee and metrosexual man (man?..I use that term lightly)...It is now a case of the vehicle manufacturer telling us what we will have and need....not the other way around. They all just look so boring and gay....

Hi Alby
Rugged he man, look at old photos of our servicemen of WE2 era they were rugged he men without any doubt.
Look now at Australia we see a push for gay marriage, idiots protesting for the rights of people who want to come here illegally, politicians who who pander to these groups and if someone of the he man generation speaks out about this they are howled down.
So yes manufacturers have to cater for the majority

Toyota lost the plot on the Hilux about 10 years ago when they started pumping them full of steriods. What was a good medium off-road working vehicle became a bloated undersprung clone of a 70 series.....

G'day all, they have all had big changes across most brands... Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi... New top range triton now comes with sun roof, and paddle shift.. The Nissan now has twin turbo... All of them have gone smaller capacity too.. Also Mercedes is bringing out a dual cab as well, based on the Nissan rumour has it... Think we are going to end up going down the disposable vehicle thing, like everything else.. When it breaks, chuck it and go buy a new one... Built to last a certain number of years and that's it!
See how it pans out... Have a safe n happy long weekend... Cheers Odog
