    Yes!

    I guess they wanted to be on the other side of the fence since abroad, they are really taking the word "utility" seriously.

    Maybe Toyota thought that pickup trucks should be that way. If you want a comfortable ride, they want you to buy a Camry or a RAV4.

    Its NOT a must as ride quality is highly subjective. PU trucks here in the Philippines are delegated “sedan” duties almost 90% of the time by its owners and not what its supposed to do. Utility. Try loading 500-600kg up in the new Navarra and you will understand the suspension setup of the Hilux. If you are in the market for a new family vehicle or personal car (that will not see hauling), the Hilux is not for you. Abroad (Australia, Africa, SA, etc,) pickups are mostly for utility (Farming, mining, hauling, etc). Here in the PI, we dress them up and used as regular car. And then we complain about their suspension...😂

    For someone like me who has no need for the hauling capabilities of a pickup, it is like buying half an SUV with a long, topless trunk attached to the rear. 2018 Toyota Hilux G 4x4 MT vs 2018 Nissan NP300 VL 4x4 MT Some people find pickups attractive, but I personally find them impractical for city driving, and have deterred my father from getting one on several occasions. I honestly find the base model 15 seater FB body variant one of the most practical vehicles ever made. Now if they could do the same with the top variant a la LC70 troop carrier plus the zero tax on pickups, that would be a very different story for me...

    Also averse to purchasing a pickup ... but then the Ford Ranger Raptor came along ... wonder if they would consider making a Ford Everest Raptor ...

    Also because of the new tax scheme ... one might want to start considering a pickup ... it's deisel, high ground clearance and tax free ... hard to beat ...
