Then your best choice is HILUX after all. Easily find part, less hassle for you to worry bout servicing thumbsup.gif

For offroad use choose the Hilux. For normal driving choose the navara. I have a contractor driving a ford, he told me regret buying, limited service centre, the car started developing issues after 2 years of normal driving

Pick up, of cos ranger, my family has one

But there are other vehicles that can handle lanjiao malaysia road while being comfortable, cheap one such as subaru forester, expensive one such as land cruiser or lexus lx570

Going for the pick up is an extreme road, you will be slow at highway, you cant speed around corners, you are stuck with uncomfortable suspension, noisy engine etc etc

Doesnt matter how people tell u the navara is comfortable or the ranger handling is good, those are compared among pick ups only, compare to an suv, no chance

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=4101384&hl=

I'm going to get a truck next year for the first time to replace my honda city. My conclusion after some research:

Ranger - best looking truck but also most expensive, some reports of problems and spare parts

Triton - just fugly imo even though cheap

D-Max - cheap and not bad looking but engine sounds like a lorry

Hilux - good looking and ok pricing but too popular, don't want to worry about thieves..

My choice is Navara since I'll be mostly using it for regular road driving and some light off roading on the weekend going to my fruit orchard. Most comfortable ride with multi link suspension especially at rear a plus for my kids comfort. It doesnt handle really heavy weight in the rearbut thats ok since I will only be loading some light equipments and fruits from the orchard.

It all depends and what you're looking for in a truck - looks, power, utility etc..

My navara arriving this week

i drive a Hilux Revo to construction site every day. Parking is also easy, i just leave it in Neutral without engaging my parking brake and leave.

this thing is tough and comfortable at the same time. And they do haul asss.

Hilux Tiger is severely lacking in comfort.

Dmax and Hilux is extremely popular in Thailand. Maybe that say something.

Ranger and the rest is also popular but not as abundance like Hilux and Dmax.

I will get the balance point of all, dmax

Good looking, reliable, not overly expensive, does the job done as a pick up.

I drive a ford, yes they are comfortable but a month after driving in unforgiveable terrains, rivers, muds, fissures, they produce a lot of squeaky noises.

My choice of 4 x 4 for real work after riding most, triton, navara, hilux, dmax etc would still be the hilux, the older model (the ones that ISIS is using), the better.

There are no best in term of pickup truck .....
Just buy the one you like most and bang for money ....
All diesel pickup mostly come with turbocharger already give you wear and tear , depend what diesel you use for the good fc and how clean can be burn , and depend how long straight without jam you travel , since now days diesel engine burn more cleaner than before less black smoke because a DPS filter diesel particulate filter only work effective if you drive smooth without jam , if you always stuck in trafic jam the DPS filter won't rly work in proper conditions end up black smoke come out and to replace the DPS cost around 5k to 10k estimate ...... and this is your 2nd wear and tear so think twice before you choose a diesel vehicle .....

btw now i only notice this post from 2016 duh ....... i guess ts already bought a vehicle for long time ago

Best bang for buck? Navara. But the electronic 4WD is quite sensitive. Mine kaput after a year. Luckily can claim. After 2 years, turbo kaput. Also can claim.

Also had a Triton, for 5 years not much problem except for pesky SCV which failed twice. Claimed once and second time unable to claim because warranty expired. Paid 1K for outside replacement.

I have 4 hilux, 2 double cab and 2 single cab manual. Those are for workers and it’s very strong and reliable. Ford on the other hand slightly manja, Maint slightly higher and better for your own drive. If ure taking normal ranger, just go with hilux.
If the raptor , that’s the best.

I can't disagree with you. Hilux design is ugly compared to other pickup truck brand. Another thing is Hilux easy terbalik but market value and reliable wise, it's still Hilux. Every mechanic I've asked which is the best pickup truck to buy, everyone will say the same thing, Toyota Hilux.

Pick up, of cos ranger, my family has one

But there are other vehicles that can handle lanjiao malaysia road while being comfortable, cheap one such as subaru forester, expensive one such as land cruiser or lexus lx570

Going for the pick up is an extreme road, you will be slow at highway, you cant speed around corners, you are stuck with uncomfortable suspension, noisy engine etc etc

Doesnt matter how people tell u the navara is comfortable or the ranger handling is good, those are compared among pick ups only, compare to an suv, no chance

The DPF filter right, this thing is bull shit expensive, is around RM2000-3000 depend types of vehicle, after 200K km, simply remove whole exhaust system and change to stainless steel 2 and half inch straight pipe, already done to my dmax and hilux vigo, turbocharge diesel more reliable than those modern NA gasoline engine mostly on Malaysian market, just buying good engine oil eg: liqui moly and fill euro 5 diesel, no black smoke issue. Just diesel trucks parts more expensive compare to cars category, but can last until 500K km before next change. No hassle in alignments, frequent bush and joint replacement, like small car those more problematic and high costs, especially best road conditions in Sabah with lots of potholes and gravel! ladder frame with solid axle more reliable than monocoque design. Wear and tear is not an issue, my dmax, hilux and hino 300 already odo meter clock over 500K km without any engine rebuilt, all is same commonrail engine base tech. Mostly reliable brand for pickup is isuzu and toyota, my next purchase is still waiting the new 1.9L isuzu dmax for passengers and family use.

Same in Sabah, after install aftermarket shocks like bilstein, old man emu rear suspension, alphatech ecu tuning and remapping, using michellin AT tyres, ride comfort far better than mostly stock vehicles out there. The famous road to kudat is the ulu kukut or kota belud kelawat straight hill climb, easily overtake 10-20 vehicles just below 15 seconds, doing 180km/h on 5th & 6th gear depend various vehicle like revo 2.8L, d-max vross 3.0L, hilux single cab 2.5L vnt or triton 2.4L vgt, because those little pump gas kit NA vehicles struggle to achieve 70 km/h during hill climb due no torque at all, compare mostly modern turbocharged diesel engine under the hood got over 600Nm.

Almost 2020, people shouldn't buy the car without having 6/7 airbags. Need to boycott those car makers that don't offer this. But somehow Malaysian don't think in this way.
Only 3 manufacturers offer pick up (although high end model) 6/7 airbags including Hilux, Ranger and Triton.

bi turbo is the definitely top choice for horsepower conscious buyer, but is the price point align with the value added with those extra horse power, so now instead of the plain jane ranger, we have 3 more choices, FX4, Raptor and Wildtrak.

lets see what ford marketing gonna play around with these 4 models by throwing in engine configuration into the mix. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

bi turbo is the definitely top choice for horsepower conscious buyer, but is the price point align with the value added with those extra horse power, so now instead of the plain jane ranger, we have 3 more choices, FX4, Raptor and Wildtrak.

lets see what ford marketing gonna play around with these 4 models by throwing in engine configuration into the mix. rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif

Guys, i'm thinking of buying pickup truck for daily use. Going back with family of two kids  to kampung almost every weekend. Which one of the pickup truck is the best?

1. Nissan Navara
2. Ford Ranger
3. New toyota hilux
*
If does not involve business, Navara,it's the most comfortable. If you have done business, Hilux, it's the most cost effective. Ranger is in between, comfort is good enough, cost effectiveness is not bad with 10k mileage service, source is personal experience

that's purchase price, if you take into account cost of ownership could be a diff story... pickup have a good 2nd hand mkt being a utility vehicle but prc brand might command a very high discount... its support and reliability is a big question mark... i support other maxus models, just not pickup

maxus pickup only started 2016, so don't know the quality yet. give them couple of years and then we can tell if the quality is there or not. cost of ownership is also related to the quality of the build.

2nd hand market for pickup is only good for hilux, even ranger has no resale value. market perception of one particular model is typecast here. you mean maxis van or mpv? they got a whole range of vehicle from EV to SUV. hmm.gif hmm.gif hmm.gif

The DPF filter right, this thing is bull shit expensive, is around RM2000-3000 depend types of vehicle, after 200K km, simply remove whole exhaust system and change to stainless steel 2 and half inch straight pipe, already done to my dmax and hilux vigo, turbocharge diesel more reliable than those modern NA gasoline engine mostly on Malaysian market, just buying good engine oil eg: liqui moly and fill euro 5 diesel, no black smoke issue. Just diesel trucks parts more expensive compare to cars category, but can last until 500K km before next change. No hassle in alignments, frequent bush and joint replacement, like small car those more problematic and high costs, especially best road conditions in Sabah with lots of potholes and gravel! ladder frame with solid axle more reliable than monocoque design. Wear and tear is not an issue, my dmax, hilux and hino 300 already odo meter clock over 500K km without any engine rebuilt, all is same commonrail engine base tech. Mostly reliable brand for pickup is isuzu and toyota, my next purchase is still waiting the new 1.9L isuzu dmax for passengers and family use.

Insurance premiums is based on market value, and other risk such as car thief as their consideration and hence calculate. For pickup, the higher the market value, the more insurance premiums you have to pay. Good?

Higher risk of being stolen means insurance companies have to pay out for lost more often. Insurance companies either not giving insurance or you pay higher premium for it.

that video is just a clickbait, most probably something done deliberately on the tyres (can see tyre sidewall just failed in that video) and couldn’t be replicated by toyota. I myself already done few times emergency weaves of turning right and left due to sohai drivers and dogs. Not to mention did you saw news report of hilux terbalik?

go drive it to know, almost all new generations of trucks are stable in cornering, be it the ranger or the hilux or the other japanese brands, mostly due to 18 wheels and lower smaller tyre sidewall height.

Still, I would recommend trucks like hilux & dmax first, then ranger and triton, navara not really (my car friends who had workshops hated that as very hard to work on).

It's the best pick up truck you can get in malaysia la. Period.

2nd best is ford ranger wildtrak. Same powerful engine & 10sp gearbox as the raptor but only 140k rm.

Got adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning too. Very good vehicle. Can't go wrong with it.

Those feature not many trucks have it..

Whatever the other trucks have, the ford ranger also have.. that's the difference here.

The ford 2.0L engine but producing more HP than other car brands despite them having much bigger capacity..

You know what that means too? Ford has much cheaper road tax..

no point to buy raptor because it really is not fit for any purpose.

1. suspension not durable for off road or heavy load capacity
2. 2.0 engine is gutless and lacks torque compare to wildtrak 3.2
3. slowpoke at fuck, 0-100 need 10.X seconds lose to myvi.

Used it to carry a crew of 4 (inclusive of driver) and around 500kg of equipment as well as supplies.

All were kept for 3 years or did 100,000km

Most unreliable and difficult to maintain? The Ford. Intercooler hose blew twice on it. Parts are expensive and getting a slot to service is even more difficult than trying to get a meeting with the PM.

Most durable? The D-Max and Hilux. Nothing was replaced on either other than the brakes and tires.

Best performance when empty? The Nissan.

Best performance when loaded? The Triton.

Best handling? Most car like is the Triton.

Cheapest to own? The Triton.... taken into consideration the cost to buy, the discounts, the cost to maintain and finally the resale value.

Most expensive to own? The Ranger followed very closely by the Hilux (doesn't take into account the road tax)

Now the factory only operates the Hilux 2.4G variant because we get a fleet discount.

Hilux coz banned in USA. Must be something bad in it.

The Hilux being banned in America has nothing to do with it being a bad vehicle. It wasn't imported in due to a 25% import duty on light trucks called the Chicken Tax law.

Because the market for pickups in America is HUGE Toyota decided to build a model specifically for it to cater for that market where demands on a truck is different from the rest of the world.

no point to buy raptor because it really is not fit for any purpose.

1. suspension not durable for off road or heavy load capacity
2. 2.0 engine is gutless and lacks torque compare to wildtrak 3.2
3. slowpoke at fuck, 0-100 need 10.X seconds lose to myvi.

Can remap or piggyback give extra juice, the suspension is durable for onroad and offroad but not heavy load. Of shock leak or snap sure gonna spent up to 14k for whole system. But they can rebuild shock now, so might be less. I am waiting for hilux GR with v6 diesel..

You sure toyota got v6 diesel? I only know got 4.0 V6 petrol. Found in FJ cruiser. By the way get remap better la. Piggyback tipu punya. By the way FOX shock its famous doubt it will break so easy. Yeah no heavy load cause no leaf spring. Similar to navara 900kg payload.

Hilux is the best

However this pickup a bit panas orang suka curi

Better invest with katsana.com or cobraconnex gps tracker

Otherwise hilang woo

Get the Hilux, cheaper maintenance, cheap spares, far better tech in the hilux too.

Thanks to Marvinben advises.


I'm lacked knowledge in 4WD tech , may i know what is the main different for below Hilux two models?

Hilux DOUBLE CAB 2.4G (AT) 4X4
Hilux DOUBLE CAB 2.4 L-EDITION (AT) 4X4

What is the main disadvantage compare Hilux (above models) and Isuzu D-MAX 1.9L ?

# Rear passenger seat comfortable wise ?
Some time need take passenger from Johor to KL.


Thanks.

Australia site already told there will be hilux gr sport with v6 diesel engine that adopted from new land cruiser 300 series.. hilux gr at Africa got petrol v6 but demand are high for petrol engine over there. Here due to roadtax ofcoz cannot, ranger raptor if fitted with 2.3 ecoboost from Mustang also will be cool. Current new facelift engine will be tune but not much..

Brother u judge urself.
How much time(in minutes) you going to spend on highways vs road vs offroad?

If u are slighty high more on highways or road, better buy ford ranger. So comfy, handling like a car, suspension not bumpy.

But if u are just gonna trash it in offroad, better is hilux, d-max,triton. Tritom offroad capabilities is good, huge rear differential for hill descent, but the cabin size is smalller than hilux.

Can check at Toyota Malaysia for the difference but mainly it's just accessories. Get the L if your finance allows, it's a little bit nicer looking.

I urge you to test drive both hilux and the dmax back to back, dmax really require a lot of energy to drive, Dmax drives like a lorry. The steering is a lot slower than Hilux, engine response is lethargic (even on the 3.0 model), and interior not as refined. Body roll also really bad. The hilux handling is really sharp compared to other trucks. (come with downside, many overconfident and hilux turn turtle, it's a pickup not sport sedan)

Comfort wise Dmax is a bit better since the spring is softer.

After sales service no need say. Toyota is the best. Proper waiting lounge and got food some more. Service interval is 5,000km but the cost quite cheap.

I drive 2 older hilux, 1 unit is 12 years old first gen Vigo, mileage nearing half million KM. another is 3.0 vnt. Both reliable.
