2016 all new hilux issue

**cadayjerry** · November 9th, 2015 02:59 PM

the 2016 all new hilux revo is really a good damn pick-up. i have no regret in buying this pick-up even there are a lot of choices out there.

the only issue that we encounter with other hilux owners, is the rattling sound underneath which is annoying to a brand new vehicle. the rattle sound is loud coming somewhere from the transmission assembly to the propeller when the vehicle is running in a rough road condition and the gear shift is in neutral position.

we reported the issue to the dealer and they acknowledge the problem. technical reports were made by toyota after road testing and as of now, we are awaiting their technical team to assist the problem. 2 hilux owners already reported the same problem and more of our friends who are also all new hilux owners are waiting for the final findings since they also experience the same problem.

im sharing this issue so prospective buyers may have atleast have an idea of those possible warranty claims with this all new hilux. though it is a simple problem and can be easily fixed by toyota if they can pinpoint the exact cause of the rattle sound. its not something to worry about but as i said, its annoying to hear that loud rattle sound with a brand new vehicle.

and to toyota, i still bought this hilux even if I know beforehand on this possible issue since my friend already filed his complaint to the dealer even before i ordered my unit. i know that this is just a simple issue and we believe that you can fixed this problem. otherwise, i will forget toyota brand for the rest of my life. as you can check in your database, i bought 6 brand new different units from your company for the last 2 years and this is my first time to experience such problem in a brand new vehicle.

to fellow tsikoters, ill keep you posted on the development of this warranty claim.

by the way, units involve in this problem are hilux 4x4 with manual transmission.

Car is running while in neutral? How slow?

Katakot naman. Kaya hindi kami nabili ng all new. Para kang test sample sa CASA. Buti under warranty pa.

Thanks for sharing. I'm seriously considering a Hilux 4x2 m/t E variant and will keep watch on this.

I personally expect issues to come out given it is an all-new model and what will matter more is how Toyota effects warranty works, which in our past experiences was acceptable.

Bakit ka umaandar ng naka neutral? Para makatipid? Hindi totoo yun.

below 5kms per hour. its a speed that a first gear cannot hold otherwise the engine will die. in the mountainous area like the cordillera region, its normal to put the gear in a neutral position while going down at very low speed in a rought roads.

but for the sake of assessing the loudness of the rattle underneath, we increased the speed in a downhill road during the road test of warranty personnel of toyota.

no, hindi para makatipid kasi matipid na ang all new hilux as compared to its predecessor. you need to put it in neutral at a speed lower than 5kms per hour while negotiating a rough road na pababa. otherwise, mamamatay makina or mag vibrate makina.

i dont know if the problem is the same with 4x2. pero as of now, mga 4x4units lang yong may problema na ganito.

anyway, as i have said, the performance is great. in a power mode, its much stronger than the 3.0 1KD engines. it can cruise with ease at 180kms/hour at TPLEX in a power mode at 6th gear. but beware may mga spotter ng speed monitoring team dyan kahit wala pa yata speed camera installed along the expressway. the engine is smooth as compared to D4D and the handling is excellent even at high speed.

True, it may be a case to the 4x4 since this definitely has a different drive train from the 4x2 that i'm eyeing.
