Since its release in 2015, the 8th generation, AN120 and AN130 HiLux have been Australia’s highest selling new car but, even with a new model charging in from the horizon, used 8th gen HiLux opportunities seem to sell as fast as they are advertised.
These are a highly sought-after vehicle and the fact that they seem almost impervious to depreciation reflects their strong demand in the market.
With its competitors improving with every new release, this 8th generation of HiLux brought with it many improvements but is it staying true to its superb reputation for reliability and with so many variants, which HiLux is the pick of the crop?

Yes, but it depends on if it actually ticks your boxes, or are you buying it because everyone else seems to.
There’s no denying the incredible reputation for reliability the HiLux has built up over the years, and with the above issues resolved and the fitment of an oil catch can to extend the HiLuxs engines life, its relatively safe to assume this generation of HiLux will continue this reputation.
However, with the competition improving with every new generation, we highly recommend test driving at least a Ford Ranger before you purchase a HiLux.
We feel that the Ranger trumps the HiLux especially in terms of day-to-day driving enjoyment, comfort and refinement and while both vehicles are extremely capable off-road, any shortcomings can most likely be resolved with the fitment of intelligent aftermarket accessories.
Then there is the value for money element of your potential purchase. Again, we feel a Ranger just offers better value for money, especially in the used car market.
But yes, if it’s definitely a HiLux you want, it’s a HiLux you should get and we recommend an SR5 but please, make sure you try a Ranger before you hand over your hard earned cash.
