Toyota HiLux

With a reputation as the ‘unbreakable’ stalwart on some of the world’s harshest and remotest environments, it is little wonder the Toyota Hilux has become one of Australia’s most popular vehicles.

While it mightn’t have an extensive list of features like its rivals, such as the Ford Ranger or the Mercedes-Benz X-Class, the Hilux focuses on essential workhorse qualities such as off-road capability, excellent load and tow ratings, and top-class remote-area service.

Adding to that, the Hilux has one of the largest model range in the ute segment, starting with the utilitarian petrol-powered $20,990 Hilux Workmate Cab Chassis and topped by the bush-bashing diesel $63,690 Hilux Rugged X, guaranteeing there is always a right Hilux for the job.
