@@tijamir4998 Agreed. But we have to admit, Clarkson is 64, and James May is 61 years old. While Hammond is younger, he is also at 54 years old. They might be floating the idea of retirement sooner than later, age is catching up to them fast....
Saw this at the Toyota showroom today, it looks fabulous even in white colour, with a little modification this thing will look like a pure beast. ( Blacked out Hilux with red led floor lights )
I do own a Vcross since 6 years and its a beast. I can understand the view points of those who drive SUV s and Premium vehicles. On the highways its a performer. And always a head turner.
As someone who’s habituated to a car from 2013, this feels awesome, particularly the touchscreen. Remember it’s about functionality not bling like Hyundai
To understand what Toyota Hilux is capable of, watch Top Gear "Killing a Toyota" series and WhistlinDiesel Hilux Durability test Though I doubt the same high quality vehicle is launched here
@@kevinfernandez9999 they are. I drove it through my village farmland roads which were as narrow as you can imagine and turns out the Hilux's suspension balanced it so well with a 186kg bike behind on it's back
Unfortunately here in India, the price gap between the two is enough to attract totally different consumers. At the price of a Land Cruiser, one can buy 3 pickups here in India. Anyway, hope you’re enjoying your purchase
It is just a simple truck that can take you from point A to B for many years without giving much problem. That is what Toyota is for. Comparing with Toyota suv- The suv is much more better than pick up. The hilux is a work horse. Because of the leaf spring on the back pick up trucks are not comfortable at all. The Toyota Tacoma and Tundra are really good in terms of pick up. They are really luxury and have sunroofs and so many other features but we dont get those models in asia.
For the money for the top spec hilux in india u can get the top of the range hilux gr sports or the land cruiser 79 series in😅 aussie and new zealand! The money difference is crazy!!
@@aswinr2848 Translation: "Our India is great from all directions". I do not know how that relates to your comment though. Maybe mocking the ridiculously high taxes here compared to others.
In India "Pick up" truck means pic up everything in the open flatbed and GO! If there's one country that can challenge the mighty Hilux's reputation, it will be India.
Came here to comment on top gear reference but a guy already did that it wonderful to see more top gear fans here that show was perfect it was not just about cars
Love this car. The comment section is made up people who cannot even buy cars like this so I won't let the comments discourage to buy this. Super practical. Super Reliable. As a Fortuner user, I can say, Toyota's are amazing.
I have hilus High AT model. As he mentioned the pick up trucks are not meant for comfort but i would like to add one thing here that front seats are good, they are comfortable & well cushioned but rear seat is just like he said 😅
These vehicles are meant to last 25- 30 years. The current traffic rules dont allow to run a vehicle beyond 15 years. Its a shame. We must push for lifetime registration on vehicles.
My house is in Bhutan border,,Assam,,, pickup truck is a lifestyle vehicle in Bhutan,,as an Indian here we see only pick up truck everyday,,,so, i chose to buy Bolero camper gold ZX instead of other cars,,, Bolero camper is under my budget,,, its a very good vehicle
Toyota should really price their vehicles properly... All of them look over-priced, even after factoring in all the reliability Gaga... I really wish, Mahindra relaunched the Getaway... It was a gem for the enthusiasts who were on a budget!!!
all toyota products in India are expensive because of heavy tax by the government, for every forturner toyota sells Indian government make 20 lacks through tax and toyota only makes 45000 as profits.
Famous for many many years in many many countries. I am from Assam near Indo Bhutan border. I saw Hilux trucks in small country Bhutan since my childhood. Huh!!! Launch now in India????😮 when the whole world was already using?
Unfortunately in middle east its a vehicle popularly used by construction sites and by fisherman and army in deserts. It's not a lifestyle vehicle in middle east
Some Say You Copied jeremy's Lines , I Dont Think Its Tuff As Old 90s Hilux , its Serious Truck Offroader , Its Not Fit for Lifestyle , Lot of People dont use Toyotas Land rovers for Offroad adventure they use for City .
What’s the point of buying such a rough and tough vehicle that can last forever but can’t use in certain places like Delhi and NCR region beyond 10 yrs or Kerala where you cannot get a white board registration, unless the loading capacity is reduced. This country is no good for auto enthusiasts
U can do whatever you want it's ur car don't care of RTO regulations use that seat like when off-roading or in village side etc just flip the seats over when driving in city no one would notice
For the most part, they are. The average person isn't hauling cargo on a daily basis, not to mention that pickups aren't that good when it comes to gas mileage
This is for people who sell goods on the move carrying goods in the bed and stopping at good points where there can be good sale and come back home with your shop at evening no shop rent and buy and transport the goods from wholesalers in the same vehicle this is exactly done in middle east, Africa and both Americas.
In India the purpose of Hilux is only to provide an additional enjoyment to the rich people who are bored with their usual premium cars..Otherwise I don't think any common man can afford this and use it to assist in their profession what ever be it unlike abroad..Can anyone think of a plumber or carpenter or a construction guy coming in an Hilux and provide a service like in middle east or other countries😂
The day when plumbers carpenter and farmers will start driving Pickups like Hilux or even D max in India that day we can conclude India became a developed nation lmao
They should have pitched the RAV-4 with Hybrid power-train that could have been a worthy SUV to compete with the new Honda-CRY or the other the Midsize SUV planned for India.
Nice pickup car but not sure how many Indians would be ready to shell out 40 lakhs rupees for a pickup car! It's a very American thing to own a pickup car, The market will develop in India only when more and more people will go off for camping/off roading..
For Indian Prices and Norms Automobile Industries Struggles a lot. Not affordable to buy for almost all people. Indians in this generation are unlucky to enjoy the facilities and good products. Coz facing high living cost. And not affordable vehicles.. Even a Alto costs around 7 lakhs.
I see lots of Isuzu d max (there are no showroom in my city) Toyota hilux ,(isme Tera Ghar chala jaega) price was 🙄44lakh on road price (different state have price ) when compared to Isuzu d Max s offer lots of things even some one buy has secondary vehicle (price was 30 to 35 lakh rupees on road different state matter). . People think that price better to buy Toyota fortuner or Toyota fortuner legend or any other suv. Most of people in India buy a pickup truck as a ( बड़े बड़े शौक की चीज है) someone by Isuzu d Max secondary vehicle that the person who can afford it but Toyota hilux price was.
Please can you guys do a proper comparo between Hilux and Vcross. I think it will be an amazing video to watch. disclaimer, I am a Vcross owner but know what the result will talk about :)
