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

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.
