Common Toyota Hilux Issues
The Toyota Hilux is known for being a robust vehicle but this does not mean that you won’t encounter any problems. Here are a few common issues you may face when buying a second hand Hilux bakkie:
- Suspension issues: South Africa is known for its rough terrain. Suspension and bushings of any vehicle will take strain and the Hilux is no exception. During your test drive, we suggest inspecting the suspension for signs of any wear and tear.
- Minor electrical problems: Issues with dashboard lights, electric windows, or central locking have been reported by some Hilux owners. Again, we suggest you ensure that the electrical components of the Hilux you intend to buy are all functioning properly.
- Clutch and gearbox-related problems: Certain Hilux models, especially those with more kilometres on the clock, have been reported to have clutch and gearbox problems. If you hear any unusual noises or find it difficult to change gears, get the issue sorted before you purchase your vehicle.
