2016 all new hilux issue

[cadayjerry]

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?

Car is running while in neutral? How slow?

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.

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.

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.

update as of November 17, 2015.

technical team from japan arrived and have done various testing for a period of two days. sad to say, they have no concrete feedback on the issue. they will bring the test result to japan for further analysis. accordingly, halos lahat ng 4x4 with manual transmission has the same issue. buti na lang hindi yong unit ko ginawang testing unit. unfortunately its my friends unit.

initial diagnoses reveal that the issue or the "takatak" sound is coming from the transmission itself. hoping for the best that toyota can fix this problem the soonest possible time. otherwise, there are a lot of choices out there. i think there is no problem with those with 4x2 and automatic transmission units.

Bagong transmission ata yung sa 4x4 na manual... yung sa 4x2 dati parin, kaya may issue yung 4x4 kasi bago..

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

[cadayjerry]

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

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.

update as of today, re-scheduled ulit yong supposedly assessment by toyota. a technical team from thailand daw will come over to assist the problem.

Pick up trucks have their own pros and cons... Depende nalang sa needs mo... Kung suspension ang habol mo... And you also need cargo space na hindi naman gaano kabigat karga mo.. navarra would be 1st on your list.

Top gear choose the navarra as truck of the year.... May detailed review ba kayo? Parang Wala akong nabasang detailed review nila..

Hp may link ka ba?

[cadayjerry]

Just curious, what made you not pick the 2015 truck of the year, Nissan NP300?

for the last 15 years that i had been using pick-up truck, i find the hilux more reliable in the mountainous area. one more thing, i just dont like the coil spring of the navarra since pick-up truck is used to haul heavy loads. i would rather use an SUV if riding comfort is what i am looking for. besides, navarra maybe the 2015 truck of the year. but we are talking here of 2016 model pick-up.

navarra though is a good looking pick-up.

[glenn manikis]

Get 16" para mabawasan tag tag... I'm on 285 75r16 malaki improvement sa ride comfort.. Compare sa 20" Dati naka 20"s gamit ko.. 275 55

Please post your findings once you have tested the Ford Ranger. I am planning to buy a pickup truck 4 x 2 MT, and I am deciding between the Ford Ranger or the Toyota Hilux. Any advise coming from fellow tsikoteers would be most welcome.

just sharing my experience on the ranger. well the ranger is good looking to me that is why i bought one last year. its a 4x4 XL. sabi nila sa casa malakas daw but i find it mahina. kailangan naka gain ng momentum bago mo maramdaman ang hatak. if you are in an uphill naku makupad mag take off. anyway, 2.2 lang naman kasi makina. another issue is, mahirap mag engage lalo na pag nalubak kana ayaw mag engage 4x4. sabi nila sa casa nong nireport ko yong issue. dapat daw nag engage na ako bago malubak. wow naman ang sagot nila. then sometimes ayaw din mag dis engage. after a few months, nabali yong front drive velocity during a 4x4 trek. yong kasama ko hilux hindi naman nabali. sold the ranger after 4 months of used.

pero kung 4x2 naman hanap mo. then you might as well try the ranger kung yon ang choice mo. but for me, doon ka na sa sigurado. mahirap ang trial and error lalo na at malaki din cost na involve. why try other brand when you know there are other choice na mapapanatag ang loob mo. yong palagi ko nga sinasabi. kanya kanyang choice yan. kahit sabihin ng iba na "ganito kasi yan" kung yon naman ang gusto mo, then ikaw pa rin masusunod.

anyway, maganda naman siguro ang lahat ng pick-up truck na lumalabas ngayon. nasa budget and taste lang ng buyer kung alin pipiliin.

by the way, sabi nila yong hilux lang daw ang 4x4 pick-up na may differential lock ngayon. and yong ECO mode and Power Mode pala. nakakatuwang gamitin. pag nasa downhill ka, you can just press the eco mode and mararamdaman mo hihina ang takbo malakas ang engine break. pag sa akyatan naman, you can just press the power mode at any time when you needed it. so you can use three mode at any given time. pwede normal driving, Eco mode and power mode so have a total control kung ano gusto mo driving mode.
