2.8 Hilux reviews
- Thread starter sikasako
- Start date
I'm on the list and hopefully only a few month left to wait, I really hope they sorted the parking sensor issue out as that was the main reason I got rid of my last one 3yr ago, also had an issue with one of the cylinders on the engine, Hopefully all good now
I also had an email of the dealer a month or so ago saying there maybe further delays due to the factory in SA flooding and all production had been stopped for at least 6 weeks

One of the saddest things I saw! All those Hilux wallowing in the drink...

It should have dried out by then !Mine was slated for delivery end October, guess that will be nearer Xmas now then
Our current contract hire (Mitsubishi) ends in September, and a quote for a replacement from Toyota stated 13 months wait.Mine was slated for delivery end October, guess that will be nearer Xmas now then
Have had my Invincible X since Feb. No problems to report so far, love the colour Titan Bronze. I have another on order for next March but the BASC discount had dropped from 19% to 14%. I understand it is now 10% which may disappear altogether as Toyota can sell all they can get their hands on.
I have one due in September under the old basc scheme. Was meant to be in may, and havent heard anything since. With the current economic climate im not even sure i want the thing anymore. Only thing keeping me interest in the 19% discount and the fact list prices have increased.
Had mine since March. Was a 12 month wait. I previously had a 2013 model
Couple of observations
Build quality as good. All shut lines etc aligned. Feels solid
Metal I suspect not as thick. Already have a dent in door from a very minor tap on someone’s mirror
Not sure the brakes are as good as last one. Seems to need a hard stamp to really bite in
Lot of electronic gizmos and computer functionality I frankly don’t use
Ride quality not as agricultural as last one
Front camera instead of parking sensors takes some getting used to
Seems to recharge the dpf a lot and at 4500 the adblue warning light has just come on. Not had one before so don’t know if normal
When reversing off-road I caught the mud flap between tree stump and tyre which pulled it off. I think they are overlong. So taken them off
I prefer the driving position in this on
Overall happy and would get another

I'd keep the old one for a while after the new one arrives!

Take the car and stick on the market immediately to make a small profit

I've seen theirs up close and it really has had 7 shades of sh*t beaten out of it!!!Give them to the old top gear team, they'll have them running again in no time
BASC rules state I need to keep the vehicle for 12 months. Got a feeling they are almost certainly giving me the run around anyways as I don't think they want to honour the order.
