What our customers are saying about the Toyota Hilux
Bilal - On site, we have many 4x2 and 4x4 Toyota Hilux 2.7 VVTi models that just don’t give up. We’ve had them for over three years, and they just keep running. It doesn't matter if it's manual or automatic, they are built to last. Pros: Reliability and fuel economy. Cons: Comfort options.

Taher - I bought a second hand Toyota Hilux GLX a few years ago and to this day, it’s still going strong. No major problems to report from the 2.4L diesel version I own as well. Excellent cars and good price. Pros: Touch, fuel economy and price. Cons: Features not good.

These cars have a long standing history of being ultra reliable and can pretty much deal with anything and everything thrown at them such as fires, savage beatings and even sitting atop a building about to be demolished.
