Toyota HiLux 2004 Q&As
Check out real-world situations relating to the Toyota HiLux 2004 here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.
-
What's the best ute for $10,000?
The Hilux is tempting because of its reputation for toughness and reliability; there are no particular years to avoid. The most important thing is to buy on condition, look for one that hasn’t been beaten up. Do that and you should be ok. You could also consider a Mazda BT-50 or a Mitsubishi Triton.

Comfortable dual-cab ute?
The Holden is cheaper because more people are choosing the Ford. If it's close enough on features, and ahead on value, then park the dream for some reality. But perhaps also cross-shop the Mazda BT-50, which is a clone of the Ranger.

Toyota HiLux 2004: Should the gearbox need replacing after only 40,000km?
WITHOUT knowing what you do with your cars and how you drive them, it's hard to comment. But if you drive them normally, I would think you do have a claim against Toyota. Having to replace a gearbox at 40,000km, and even at 80,000km, is unacceptable under normal use.
