The 2024 Toyota HiLux GR Sport is here and ready to shake up the dual-cab ute segment in Australia, which is currently led by the second-generation Ford Ranger Raptor, with the Nissan Navara Pro-4X Warrior and Mitsubishi Triton Xtreme also in the flagship mix.
Much like its rivals, the new HiLux GR Sport levels the dual-cab ute up with a series of upgrades. For starters, just look at it! If appearance counts for anything, it's the toughest HiLux to date. But there's more to it than just looks, as it also ushers in a more powerful version of the tried-and-true 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine.
In this expert review, CarsGuide Senior Journalist Tom White puts the HiLux GR Sport through its paces to find out just how capable its mechanical changes have made it. After all, it also takes an already successful 4WD formula and adds to it a series of helpful 4x4 features, so it should be good.

raptors are great when theyre running but they are riddled with quality issues and just too risky proposition, this on the other hand whilst not as wild as the raprtor is fine more subdued cheaper and bulletproof like most toyota products

@dagamo55 11 месяцев назад

It's a ute, not a truck

@DW-10 10 месяцев назад

It's a real shame that they didn't take the opportunity to incorporate stuff like wider body panels (not oversized flares), the AWD transfer case from the Prado to give more capability and further differentiate it in the Hilux range. Given they are obviously keeping the 2.8 in the next gen Prado, it is strange they haven't further developed it from a power/litre perspective. If they made as much torque per litre as the biturbo Ranger it would make 700Nm. 550Nm brings it in line with the 2.3 Nav and new 2.4 Triton. Only Mazda/Isuzu have a lower specific output. Not saying it needs 700Nm, but 550 is hardly ground breaking. On the subject of "digital" tech, I'd take analogue gauges over a digital display and actual buttons over a large central screen. It's a vehicle, not an ipad.

@tareskisloki8579 11 месяцев назад

Sportiest yet? Did you forget there was one not long ago with upgraded brakes, Bilstein suspension and a supercharged V6 under the bonnet?

@garageblitztv3215 3 месяца назад

And it had a decent payload too so it could actually be used … plus, its suspension didn’t have dodgy spacer plates.

@TheHayabusa09 11 месяцев назад

Judging by the huge line of Ford Rangers outside of OZ dealerships all with warranty issues, Toyota have nothing to worry about.

Hilux and Fortuner has it share of class actions , burning thru oil brakes malfunctioning and faulty deisel toxic partial filters poisoning the public.

@@rubytuesday1345 Toyota's recalled too. Deisel particle filter faulty actually there's a class action about it. Also alot of oil use and faulty brakes. Except ranger is new model Toyota isn't. U expect recalls in a new model. U don't in an old one.

I would like to see some one make a performance chassis for the Hilux like what factory Five did for the Ford F-150

@tersy9862 11 месяцев назад

Much closer to a Wildtrak then a raptor. Comparing this to a rafter is like comparing a Camry to a Mustang

@garageblitztv3215 3 месяца назад

The GR Hilux with 300kgs less payload than the Wildtrak doesn’t even make it useful as a work Ute or touring vehicle.

@MiggyMndza 10 месяцев назад

Ranger Raptor is praised too much here because of the 3 liter V6 gas engine but Aussies never wondered what it's like if it had the 2 liter biturbo diesel instead which other markets get. Compared to that, this would definitely make more sense.

An extra few grand for interior?

@tonygreen8221 11 месяцев назад

@Isaac-muntz 9 месяцев назад

If Toyota added a 3.0L v6 and an updated interior, bigger tyres with actual wide body instead of the fake wide flares it would be than a ranger raptor honestly

@damianguerra5994 10 месяцев назад

Got the gr sport 2023, its a great car, love it!

@garageblitztv3215 3 месяца назад

300 Kgs less payload, what is the GR supposed to be … it’s not like it’s a more practical or useful Raptor or a direct competitor. You cannot use this vehicle as a base for a touring set up or a tradie as you are already 300 kgs out of pocket. And all the journalists say it needs weight in it to settle the ride, so something is wrong with the setup. Toyota missed a big opportunity to build a Wildtrak X but with the GR engine and slightly more power and torque to smash it out of the park.

@Engr.S-Jay29 11 месяцев назад

@milesdavis8665 6 месяцев назад

I know they made the hilux wider. But does that translate to the inside. The hilux is known to have a cramped back seat.

@carsguide 6 месяцев назад

The width is only do with the track, it has an identical interior to the standard HiLux range. -Tom

@carsguide I figured as much. I love the hilux but I need something a little more roomy. The Triton is looking pretty good

@aiztoh 10 месяцев назад

ehh, I dunno, I'd much prefer the Ford raptor, not only for comfort, but for technological features as well, in the infotainment system. alot of buttons as well that have it's own purpose. Hilux is the best for old peeps who likes more rugged feel and stiff steering.

@rubytuesday1345 10 месяцев назад

As the guy says, if you want to make a lot of noise and have a more refined drive then go for the Ranger. If you want a proper ute that can go off road, tow a boat all day and be reliable, well you’d better get a Hilux. Simple.

@paulmcintosh5589 10 месяцев назад

Mustang got media crucified when tested to 2020 tests and returned a 3 star, it was 5 star in 2019.

The thing that bugs me about all the different youtubers reviewing this car is they dont compare it to the Ranger that is at the same price point. Always comparing it to a Raptor. Raptor is way more expensive..like 25k. That Ford 10 speed auto is junk anyway and its in alot of Rangers. Who wants a huge ipad on the dash...too much distraction.

@alphabravo3304 11 месяцев назад

For a mid size or smaller pick up “truck” that’s right bogans its not a Ute , at best it’s a light commercial vehicle which sits within a range of vehicles based on weight, Toyota hilux sport is essentially a sows ear pretending to be a silk purse. Attempting to sell it as bigger, what by a few centimetres is a con for a start, it’s still the same old SR5 with a few aesthetic changes, being flogged at a higher price. Toyota could at least mirror the Tacoma and sell that as the upgrade. Frankly car reviewers should call it out, not continue to flog what we don’t want. Keep your Thailand Tonkas in Asia thanks.

It's cheaper then a Ford Ranger Raptor because it isn't a Ford Ranger Raptor. There is NO comparison between the two. Its still the boring 2.8L diesel engine with no power and the same boring interior. Comparing the two is stupid because they're not even in the same league.

@philmelb1022 11 месяцев назад

Toyota parts bin expert while charging high prices for nothing really new. Your better off for ranger or rapture. More tech features and better looking. Plus more reliable no Diesel filter gate. Just put some pretend performance racing badging. Look at that info screen 2010 look.

Check the Raptors in for Warranty issues, typical Ford quality 👌
