Hey mate Only time my rogue leaks water in that exact spot is when i blast the hose in that corner , dealer warned me , too much water to go down the track into the drain at once , so i consiously hose lightly in the corners and no issues :) . Also you have roof rack tracks on your rolller lid rated to 90kg if you dont want to drill, just fitted quick lock removable rhino bars on the weekend , mint for carrying a swag :) . No one at the dealer new about in until i looked into the extra booklet in the owner manual books.

Interesting. Mine leaks with rain but in the tropics, it rains hard. I’ll get Toyota to check it when I do the first service if yours is more water tight. I thought about a tray rack but how easy is it to remove the cross rails? If it takes longer than 5 minutes, I’m not interested haha. I like to keep it simple and save as much time as possible when switching between packing for camping and using the tray for projects

I am aware of the brand and I’m not impressed. In 700kms of ownership, the track has jammed leaving the tub exposed until I fixed it and it leaks like a sieve. I don’t know what their idea of “comprehensively testing” is but it is vastly different to mine

I hope when they upgrade it next year it will grow in size in every dimension. including width and length

@NorthOz indeed. But it's quite fun to drive. The wider track definitely helps in that department. Like you, I sold my 2019 fortuner and just put down a chunk. This will probably be my last truck for a while. Or at least until I see what the 2025 will look like. And iT is massive width wise. Funding the middle of the lane is a bit of a fun task 😆.

@milesdavis8665 5 месяцев назад
@NorthOz I also found that tackling curves is light work for this truck. I can take a curve at a higher speed than with my fortuner. One thing I don't like is the interface with the stereo. I used to be able to plug my ipod in and it would interface very good in the fortuner. Not with this new head unit. I have to use Bluetooth in this vehicle. Which is strange because all of my toyotas had a real simple plug in interface. It's like they took a step back. Or foreword

Hilux comes standard with a 4 tie down points or anchor points. Perhaps your other 2 tie down points are hidden behind the canister for your bed cover. Plus if I am not mistaken, the back bumper lower section, where the number plate is, that is where you foot on to climb into the back of the truck. Not the sides.
@NorthOz

They removed the cab side 2 tie downs for the rogue. Yes, you can step on the rear (it’s not very solid) but you can step where I showed on camera
@jeffreyread2055
@jeffreyread2055 Год назад
@@NorthOz I never knew that Toyota Australia had reduced the tie down points to 2 units only. Anyway regarding the small profile tyres in relation to the larger wheel arch now, perhaps it is a cheaper way of making vehicles this way. I am in the battery business and I noticed that manufacturers are fitting much smaller sized batteries on the production floor into new cars. During battery replacement and for the battery to have a valid warranty, we have to install a larger sized battery compared to what was fitted on the production floor.

@@robward7662 Once the taildoor is door, going up is rather undignified. Back up and lift oneself until seated on the taildoor. Then turn around until both feet on the taildoor and slowly get up. I think the safer way for one to get into the tub, is to climb into the tub first by stepping in the center of the lowered section of the bumper. Once safely inside the tub, then open the taildoor and let it fall. With the hydraulic damper or tailgate assist, the taildoor will slowly come down.

Hi mate, thanks for the comment. Not sure about the plastics but I don’t get the tie downs. Should be at least 2 on the cab side like the sr5. Not a big deal though. It took me 30 minutes to install a cargo tie down system
@rossevans1774
@rossevans1774 Год назад
​@@NorthOz I'll try to clarify. The 'cheap & nasty plastic bulging' I refer to looks like an afterthought, the 'pumped out guards' are a cheap way of modifying the body to suit the new great wider track, sort of like the dodgy fragile plastic rear bumper you mention. The vehicle came with only 2 tiedown points '2 little loops that sit toward the rear of the tray', you installed others to toward the back of the tray 'flush with the floor', nice. There needs to be tiedown points toward the front of the tub on each side of the tray, do you think?

Great vid, I've got my Saturn blue rogue ordered and hopefully arrives soon.

Looked at the fold out step but decided not to go that one.

That’s good to know. What was the cost of the rear bar? Might be worth while upgrading. The front bar would be interesting to see. I haven’t seen one with a bullbar yet. Do you know if they use the same as the sr5? Or does it kick out to match the new over fenders?

For the roof rail problem it just popped in my head that I saw an advert for carrying bikes on the back of trucks or suvs and they used these new suction cups.

The older Hilux's were so much better with their packaging and cargo. I see these new ones in Mexico all the time and aside from the diesel powertrain and manual transmission there's not much else that would make me pick it over a newer Tacoma. I owned a 94' US version of the Hilux, known here in the states as a "Pickup" and it baffles me that these trucks are the successor to those older yet better-engineered utes.

Locking up in low gear going downhill and being stuck there forever. Battle to get low range to engage, constantly beeping for not being able to.

I’ll admit, it isn’t for everyone and if someone is after a hard core off-roader, maybe they should look into a 70 series. Overall, I’m happy with my purchase. Yes there are issues with build quality of the dash but ultimately it is a modified sr5 on the same chassis that has been used for a very long time. I bought mine because it just works. No bells and whistles and for me that was a big motivator. If people were after a luxury 4x4, then they should look elsewhere. I’m sorry you don’t like your truck.

I admire your honesty and am disappointed for you! I don't understand the Rogue with it's higher lift and wider track with those wheels? It's like Toyota had bigger plans but at the last minute though nah just put 18s on it! I just don't see the extra 10k compared to the SR5, you dropped a lot off the Subie as well 😬 shame your so far away who ever bought that got a bargain!!

The wrx was a bargain but I’m happy what I got for it and it was time to move it on. I still love the truck but a few little things would’ve made it even better. Even the 18’s are fine but with a bigger tire would’ve been fine. By the time you get the sr5, it was only about $5k from my calculations. I think it’s worth it but each to their own 👍

@North Oz agreed. SR5's a year ago we're $65K for an Auto but they are over $70K now.

I have one here in NZ Definitely a much better vehicle than the sr5 especially if you are towing, not as floppy in the rear , the extra width and roll bar seems to make it much more planted on the road.

XL or Xls trim on a ranger is better spec. If you are a Toyota fan boy it's a given you will buy a Toyota. No need to justify your purchase

What a disappointment for the money. To think that designers and engineers are getting paid to oversee and refine these projects. What a joke.

A lot of oversights here and no one thinking about the customers and innovating. Small things like steps in the rear bar would go a long way for this vehicle

Brought the GR Sports and I hate the fact the Cruise is to week on down hill, the digital speedo cant be viewed with the distance left on fuel, the duel heater work back the front, So Not a big fan of the Toyota
