New hilux-any problems?

[Speedstar]

Had a similar issue with a hilux a few years back.brand new vehicle and used it to tow digger to work.went to start it to come home and battery was flat.rang dealer 6 miles away but they did not want to know and said call AA.got a jump start from work mate and got home and called AA.they came out after couple of hours and said battery was dead which I knew.next morning I was at home and called main dealer again and told em it needed a new battery and AA had confirmed this.they said they would need to check it at their premises and to get AA out again to start it and then drive 6 miles to dealer so they could check it.at this point I was getting well pee'd of with their attitude and told em if no one was out within an hour with a new battery I’d go to Does in wymondham in a tractor and get a battery and bill them for it.15 mins later a young lad appeared with a battery and we got the issue sorted.why the hell main dealers can’t be more helpful I’ll never know.the main dealer was Dingles at the time and service then was shite but it’s got worse now SLM have their name over the door.i love toyotas but the dealers are crap and the importers don’t care less.

Our local dealer one of the best there is border Toyota , nothing is any problem to them at all , we have 3 Toyota's & would not have any thing else , have new one on order at the moment.

I ordered an auto yesterday with towbar and rollcover, was 31k, you will never regret buying a hilux.

They have gone up a bit since our one was ordered then , it was 27K

i had a quote of 23.5k last year, 26-27k for the same now, everything is easy in hindsight

what was the spec on that? im guessing the price increase would have been in april

im trying to buy one with no options but metallic paint (so i can add everything myself after), and tbh nobody seems interested in selling me that

Yours might be more money. These deals are open to price increases I believe.

We have one on order originally due June next year and have been assured that the price we dealt at will be the price we pay.

Price is fixed only way it goes up in price is if the 2022 spec is a little different

Got a 4 year old one, been alright till beginning of summer when it suddenly refused to go into 4wd or low (I miss the good old fashioned lever!!)
Took a lot of time to find and fix the problem and would have cost over £1500 out of warranty!!
Mine averages 23mpg according to the dash, its on aggressive mud tyres and tows a lot.. And likes to regenerate the dpf just as you reach home!!!

Have you got to leave it running to do it`s stuff?

Mine is exactly the same, very seldom does it when convenient
I usually sit and rev it about 2500 revs til it's done then give it a minute or two to cool down before stopping it.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. If I don't, it starts regenerating the next time it reaches temperature

How long does the regen. take??

If only it told you if it was close to needing to regenerate and then you could push a button when it was a good time!

 

[hagar]

Enough time to make and smoke a fag
Depends when it's started, best a couple o minutes. Worst about 4-5 minutes.
Not saying what I do is right, but book says to drive it at 2-3000 revs when its doing it on the road??
