For the first time in Australian history, Toyota have brought the GR Hilux to our shores. It will be the new flagship Hilux by replacing the outgoing Rugged X and will sit ahead of the Rogue in the lineup. Although the GR sport COSTS MORE than the Rogue, is it actually a better vehicle? In this video, I will be comparing my brand new Hilux Rogue to the new GR Sport based off the specifications released by Toyota.

Ive had 2 Hiluxes, currently own a 2 litre Raptor, going back to a Hilux the GR Looks awesome and with toyota quality win win.

@NorthOz 10 месяцев назад

Can’t blame you, that sounds like a smart move

@rubytuesday1345 3 месяца назад

Totally agree. Bought my GR at the end of last year and love it. More power than anyone needs on a public highway. If you want to go into the desert, take a Ranger. If you want to get out of the desert, take a Toyota.

@BU683AR Месяц назад

Driving a raptor is much more comfortable than in a hilux, Camera quality on hilux came from stone age, its blurry af.

@simranbanga5467 Год назад

How nice is the location where you are mate. Peaceful and quiet 🤐. I am happy with my Wide body 23 Rogue too as no point changing to GR when they bringing all new shape hilux in couple of years. Hopefully in the new shape hilux they make cab and bed bigger and wider so it’s not tight fit for passengers and bed can be useful

@NorthOz Год назад

Thanks mate! I live in cairns, it’s been raining a lot here so it’s beautiful this time of the year. The new hilux will be based on the new global chassis which is shared with the 300 series from my information. That may be worth while upgrading as they will have a lot of new tech (which not everyone will want). It will definitely kick Ford out of the race for the top spot but I think Ford may take the top selling vehicle for a couple of years. This won’t happen until 2025 apparently

@richardwalsh5570 Год назад

GR sport is not worth the $$. You have heaps of power and yours is spot on. You are right about the tune. More reliability with our specs. More power equals heat which equals wear. I reckon the track will end up the same as yours for parts sharing. Your Rogue looks mint.

@NorthOz Год назад

Hi Richard. For sure. I completely agree with everything you said. What do you think of the styling of the GR? To me it looks like a base model hilux with fender flares thrown on it. I thought they could’ve made it a bit nicer with a roll bar and Rogue style tailgate

@Notsure00700 9 месяцев назад

Heaps of power?..????😂😂😂😂😂 what compared to a Prius? 😂😂😂 under powered rubbish! Buy a real Ute from the states!

@peterstankov73 Год назад

Mate be content with your Rogue. It’s a great looking Ute. It’s got what most would want in a new Ute and it’s going to take you most places that you’d want to go. Sure some extra power/torque and a bit more height is always useful but I think the telling factor is going to be how much more will you need to spend to get one.

@NorthOz Год назад

Absolutely. And for an extra $5-10k I don’t think it’s worth it at all. It actually looks like a cheaper model in the lineup from that rear shot I showed. What are your thoughts on the look of it? Maybe it’s just me haha

@stefand1254others Год назад

@@NorthOz yes sir 2023 is looking good for sure with these North Oz uploads, in terms of the new GR I was surprised they didn't put a new more powerful engine in there since the competition is getting ahead, here in SA we already had a GR making the same exact numbers 165kw and 550nm from last year, but I have to say it looks good and aggressive compared to the one we have here, but for you guys in Australia the GR is just a facelifted rogue with a tune so its literally the same car, but me personally I don't care about the power the raptor makes, the hilux can literally handle everything with its current power, bro keep up the cinematic views in the videos it makes the video 10x enjoyable to watch 💪👌

@aucklandtoday9847 Год назад

The wider track of 15mm will come purely from the wheels. Track is measured from centerline of wheels so I'm guessing the center of each wheel sits 7.5mm further out

Spot on. I think you are correct 👍

@ps9652 2 месяца назад

Love this video have you driven the GR Sport yet?

@simmo6035 Год назад

The 2.8 has been putting out 550nm and 165kw in overseas markets for sometime. I wouldn't be worried about longevity in the GR. Toyota specifically designed the grill with a lot more air flow to aid with cooling.

@NorthOz Год назад

That’s good to know about the reputation overseas with the tune. I understand that they designed it that way for more airflow but it looks ugly in my opinion. A hood scoop or cone filter would do the same thing without the ugly front. In my opinion.

Bought the 2022 Rugged X and Im happy with it. I like the way you compare the 2 vehicles. I should have waited for that 2 vehicles but it would probably take me another year to get it. Anyway, Im looking forward for your future videos. Already subscribed to your channel. 😊

Your Rogue looks better, wheels and grill look better and you can get it tuned if needed. Best of all is you have it now.

@NorthOz Год назад

Spot on! I think the rogue is a more luxurious and sensible trim. The gr sport looks a bit childish and like they took the SR and slapped some paint here and there. No hate to the GR but compared to the rogue, the value isn’t there… and like you said, I have it now 👍

@babeyoulove1883 Год назад

In my understanding - Toyota is in the process of developing a new generation of Hilux. When they launch the generation the GR version should get proper stand-alone features ( Such as engine, suspension &, etc). I think Toyota is just testing the waters to see what people think of the path they are in. I think we will see the new-gen in a year or two. I think your purchase is perfect. Love the color. You can always wait for the next new thing - Meaning you could not buy anything in life.

@NorthOz Год назад

100% agree. There is always something new around the corner and I’m stoked with mine. Yes, a few years from now the new hilux will be here so I think Toyota will be quiet for a while until that arrives 👍

@rd6416 Год назад

I agree completely. If you second guess your every purchase you will spend a lifetime with nothing. Enjoy your new awesome ute! I know I will be. 😊

@michaelkiely3632 Год назад

Hey mate. Thanks for your videos. Curious to know if you have looked into aftermarket suspension for the rogue? I have the same car and cannot find anywhere that have released aftermarket suspension for it. ARB told me OME is still in the hands of designers and no word on how long it may be. Would just like to know what you may have heard. Cheers

@NorthOz Год назад

I haven’t heard anything yet. I have spoken to a few owners who are using parts from past hiluxes like springs for lifting the front. I am not sure about official kits just yet but I will be looking into it in the next 3-6 months so I’ll share what I find out 👍

@michaelkiely3632 Год назад

Thank you mate. Yeah definitely keen to find out so a video on that would be great when you eventually find one! In the meantime I’ll keep hunting. Cheers

@alexbarquin9 Год назад

Comfort and ride dynamics compared to the Prado? All people are raving about Prado's comfort level. I personally love a car with stiffer suspension and good cornering dynamics (less body roll). Nice choice on the colour. That's what I would have picked if i were to order one today.

@NorthOz Год назад

Initial thoughts are the Prado is a softer ride but that has pros and cons. The body roll in the Prado was very high even dangerous and this hilux corners on rails. Way better on winding roads but there is more cabin intrusion in the rogue. Road noise is quieter in the rogue

@themotorguy Год назад

Rogue suits me better over the GR. I like the look of the rogue better, plus the tray cover with carpet is nicet

@NorthOz Год назад

I agree. Definitely a nice trim and the Rogue will look nicer on the road in my opinion

@codyshann Год назад

It sucks to know that what you bought which was supposed to be TOTL of Hilux was not anymore the TOTL in 2 weeks. The added HP and Torque were the selling point and the all-new grill and bumper and all-terrain tires were an added bonus that makes Rogue, SR5, and SR ....... OLD! I'm stoke with the Rogue and I'm planning to buy one if it arrives here at our place but after seeing your vid, and knowing there's a GR Sport lurking around the corner, I don't care if it takes months but I'm gonna wait for it. BTW, your Rogue still rocks man. It's way cooler than SR5. Cheers!

@NorthOz Год назад

Thanks man! Luckily I knew what the gr was going to be like and I would still buy the Rogue over the gr given we can get it 6 months sooner than the gr. There’s always going to be something newer and shinier but I’m actually stoked with my truck and I think it’s the trim to buy 👍 Good luck with the purchase and I hope these videos help you make a choice 😊

@@NorthOz 100% agreed. Excited to see what's to come next. But a V6 diesel 3.0L in the next platform would make the crowd go wild. The Hilux deserves more power, at least in the top of the range models. Toyota is known for carry over engines in models. They've also done that in the Lexus vehicles aswell. 🤷

@mwat22 Год назад

There is a bit that goes into it. Bigger diff (I believe), longer control arms, mounting points for rear shocks. This won’t be offered as a kit however, there are some companies that offer a wide body kit and suspension overhaul for the sr5

“Just take it to a shop to get tuned” … could I very humbly suggest that you might also want to mention that you would void tens of thousands of dollars worth of engine, transmission and drivetrain warranty. I suspect that the Toyota engineers should know what they are doing and you are covered, and If you want more power and torque the extra $10k for not just that, would ultimately be worth it … admittedly, the past DPF issues were a major cock-up, possibly at the hands of internal bean counters and not the actual engineers!

@@NorthOz 165kw and 550nw from 1,600 to 2,800 RPM with 90% of total total torque just off idle, should make the GR a very pleasant drive in most situations, with so much useable torque where you need it and I think that’s what they are aiming for … just a little more to hit that sweet spot. On paper at least, the GR looks more usable and less stressed than the diesel ranger V6. The Ranger needs the 10 speed auto because of its “peaky” and fleeting torque just to win bragging rights to highest figures. I totally agree that these are not “race cars” and if that’s what people want, than just buy a Supra and take it to Ray Hall in Cairns 😉 or buy a TRD Hilux or Raptor. Anyway, I certainly don’t think you make a mistake buying the updated Rogue, it looks great and should be a reliable rig for you. Looking forward to more videos - cheers 🍻

Will do! Thanks mate 👍

The rogue looks heaps better. The GR has too much going on. For the money I'd buy the rogue

@NorthOz Год назад

I agree. The gr looks like a stripped down race version which is not what I want in a tourer. Thanks for commenting and subscribing 👍

Can't get 1 b4 2025

Probably. Most waiting times are around 6-12 months depending where you are. I got a pre allocated dealer car so I waited 6 weeks

Toyota is just trying to play catch up with the Ford. They lack anything innovative, Toyota have released 3 different variants in 3 different months and nothing is different or has changed from 2016 till now. Just minor differences here and there. In my opinion it's just the last kicks of a dying horse. I don't think it's worth the money.

Depends if you want to stick with the brand. The new hilux coming out will be competitive once again but until then, Toyota are trying a few things to fill the void
