What does everyone think?

Overpriced comes to mind

[1rocky]

nice overpriced but is it a real mans hilux

[J e r e M y]

wow..55k n 60k for hilux? i think not :P

but yay to trd

[Simo]

Would of looked so much better if they kept the same front as the other new hiluxes :(

[Dead]

I'll never look at a Hilux the same way ever again. I'll put it that way. I feel nauseas now when I think of one.

[SILVABULLIT]

In the flesh they look too much like every other Hilux on the road. Toyota need to make them more visually different and striking to stand out as a "TRD" model. Interior is same just logo on the seats and different steering wheel. Disappointing to pay that much for a set of rims that look like hub caps, a super charger, a different front bumper and a few stickers and TRD logo's on seats etc.

[T.J]

i think they could have done better with the styling

[wishbone]

older hiluxs i think look better.....not bad i guess

[black turkey]

it isnt too bad, i reckon the older (smaller) hilux's look better and would suit the 225kw better

[qkslvr]

Toyota would have been better off with a TRD Rav4 IMO. It would cater for a bigger market. Imagine a supercharged AWD rav. :D

[icejagans]

nothing special, just for the tradie who has everything...

boy do they make money!!

but i agree in that its too over the top in design and price.

quite ugly in my opnion

AUD60k? i surely wont pay for tat!

I wonder why hilux in malaysia cost sooo much cheaper in malaysia. When compare other cars(camry, landcruiser, bmw, mez..), australia's car always cheaper(due to tax), but just NOT hilux. Anyone here from same country?

One of the guys I know who's driven the TRD Hilux out at Mt Cotton in a test session has described it as "gutless" in comparison to the TRD Aurion.

Spotted the TRD Hilux at the Easter Show and it looked great... but yes, overpriced, but when the SR5 TD is $50K, an extra $5-$10K isnt a huge jump in price for the TRD

They should bring out a TRD Rav4, that would surely sell alot more...

The reason the Hilux is cheaper in Malaysia, is because they are made in Thailand, So alot of Asia would get the Hilux for cheap...

[Leroy]

Purely a marketing gimmick for the uncultured populous that think 'bigger is better'

"Why is it better??"

"Well its the TRD one, mate... it's good for racing"

To me it looks a bit underspecced in the poverty pack 57k and you only get single CD and no fog lights???

The interior in the 4000SL looks like an after thought as from the pictures and the blurb it appears that the door panels are either vinyl or material not leather. Sat Nav is an extra on both one would think it would have been standard on the 4000SL. As for appearance it doesn't exactly set the world on fire.

Overall I think more could have been done for the price :(
