"Toyota Hilux: pros, cons, costs and common fixes"

Toyota Hilux (N80 facelift – MY 2025)

Toyota’s workhorse pick-up keeps its body-on-frame construction, leaf-spring live rear axle and part-time 4×4 with low range, but gains fresh powertrains and a sharper GR Sport II halo model.

A 2.4 D-4D 150 hp remains for single-cab fleets.

Strengths (owners, farmers, overlanders, 4×4 tests)

Weaknesses (recurring owner complaints)

Approximate running costs (independent workshop)

Noted issues & fixes

Indicative Italian pricing (OTR, excl. VAT where noted)

Verdict

The facelifted Hilux keeps its “indestructible” reputation while the 48 V system smooths idle shake and trims city fuel use without denting towing or payload limits. It’s still stiff-riding when empty, expensive to buy and light on modern ADAS, yet for farms, sites and expeditions it remains the benchmark: easy to repair, backed by a global dealer web and supported by a vast aftermarket.

If you want a pick-up to work hard for two decades, the Hilux is still the safest bet. For mostly urban family duties, a coil-sprung rival or diesel SUV will offer better comfort and lower running costs.
