[Jonathan Fairfield]

The Mrs' cousin works for Toyota and sent me some pics of the new Hilux Revo after it arrived in the showroom today.

Here are the pics for anyone who is interested:

Just when I thought it couldn't get any fuglier.......

Did an elephant sit on the bonnet?

[Bung]

Somethings not quite right with it. That c pillar area is wrong.

[Bredbury Blue]

Thanks for posting. Is it available for sale now?

[IMHO]

Hehe, I was a bit non-plussed with it too. Other than the new engines, it feels about the same level of update as the Champ series was.

Maybe they should have named it Hilux Evo(lution) instead?

[IMHO]

Thanks for posting. Is it available for sale now?

It can be *booked* now, but it's not ready for immediate delivery.

[IMHO]

Has no-one else noticed the elephant in the room that weird dash screen?

[Bung]

Heres some being tested to Thailands harsh environments. Well done boys!

[Cylon]

Not what I had expected. Thought it was going to look a bit more like the American Toyota Pickups. Bigger body lower roof.

[Bung]

Is that an ipad stuck to the dash?

[IMHO]

Is that an ipad stuck to the dash?

LOL, but no. The actual screen area is nowhere near the size it seems either - it's got a massive bezel around it.

[misterphil]

It looks crap. Its neither here nor there. Toyota please dont try to make a truck look like an American market truck. If we want that, we'll just buy a Tundra. The interior is terrible and whats with that huge stupid screen?

[Bung]

The screen doesnt look like its flush mounted?

[JoePai]

Oh dear, how to make a pick-up more ugly than they already are...

[Pomthai]

Disappointing. I saw the dash picks before and assumed it was a mockup or testing engineers screen Velcro'd in place or something. Never did I think they'd leave what looks like a 5 year old android tablet there like that.

For those of you who are actually interested to see, test drive and get 1st hand info about the Revo, there is grand opening sale taking place @ Central Festival in Chiang Mai from 21.-24., 10am-9pm.

They have a pretty English speaking rep named Napat on site and made an effort to translate the major vehicle specs to English as Toyota doesn't seem to supply this.

Did you really expect to be wowed by Toyota???

[Katipo]

Ford Ranger > Toyota Fugly Truck

As soon as the Ranger face-lift arrives with the new front end and interior, the margin will grow even further.

Honestly, the ugliness of this Hilux is only tempered by it's blandness.

This is a scan of the English translated information handed out @ Central Festival Chiang Mai today:

No doubt it will only come in the same 4 colours available on the present model with no choice of colour for the interior.

I have a 7 year old Hillix 3.0 Diesel and earlier this year was making enquiries about a new one as I have been very happy with mine.

This was in Nangrong, Buriram.

Nobody in there, let alone in sales, could speak to me in English. Had to translate through my wife. No brochures available in English.

When I asked why only 4 colours, White, Black Dark Grey and Silver my wife was told

'Thai people not like other colours!!!'

Toyota need to seriously get their marketing and sales up to scratch and not try to prempt what buyers want.

I fully agree with you!

At least the folks here @ Toyota Chiang Mai are doing what they can with the limited support from Toyota, incl. hiring English speaking staff

Ahhha,,, if I only had the cash to buy... a Range Rover SUV, I wouldn't have to buy this

ugly, generic, wheel barrel for the masses ....

In my opinion, Toyota builds some of the best cars available on the market today.

[thurien]

thx for sharing; looks quite like an Isuzu, a Ford, a Mazda, a Chevy or else pick-up
