Toyota HiLux 2003 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Toyota HiLux 2003 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

What's the best ute for 4WD and beach driving?
The trade holds the Hilux up as the best of those you've mentioned. The Toyota turbo diesel is easily the best, but the downside is that you'll have to pay up to $3000 more to get behind the wheel of a Hilux. The others are OK, and all rated equally, but there are plenty of reports from the trade about problems with the Nissan turbo diesel so I'd recommend caution. If you were to consider a Navara, make sure it has an extended warranty for peace of mind.
