This is what Graham Smith liked most about this particular version of the Toyota HiLux: Durable, Reliable, Versatile
The 2005 Toyota HiLux carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1800 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The Toyota HiLux is also known as Toyota Pickup (US) in markets outside Australia.
The Toyota HiLux 2005 prices range from $2,860 for the basic trim level Dual Cab SR5 to $20,020 for the top of the range Extra Cab SR5 (4X4).
A number of vehicles of your vintage using that engine suffered from a lack of oil pressure due to accumulated contamination on the oil pickup. Remove the oil drain plug and inspect the oil pickup and make sure it isn’t clogged up with accumulated crud that could affect the oil pressure.

With your budget you’re looking at quite an old model, particularly if you want a 4WD dual-cab ute. You’d be looking at something around 2007-2008, but my concern with vehicles that old is that they will have done quite a lot of kilometres. If you want a dual-cab ute, and it sounds like the best option given your needs, go for a Toyota Hilux diesel. The alternative is an SUV, such as a Nissan Pathfinder, Toyota Prado, but again you’ll be looking at older models.
