Bung Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Somethings not quite right with it. That c pillar area is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Thanks for posting. Is it available for sale now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Thanks for posting. Is it available for sale now? It can be *booked* now, but it's not ready for immediate delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Has no-one else noticed the elephant in the room that weird dash screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cylon Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Not what I had expected. Thought it was going to look a bit more like the American Toyota Pickups. Bigger body lower roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bung Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Is that an ipad stuck to the dash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterphil Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bung Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 The screen doesnt look like its flush mounted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoePai Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Oh dear, how to make a pick-up more ugly than they already are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pomthai Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clonetom Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 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.

Katipo Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pormax Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the folks here @ Toyota Chiang Mai are doing what they can with the limited support from Toyota, incl. hiring English speaking staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 (edited) 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 .... Edited May 21, 2015 by ezzra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimf Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 In my opinion, Toyota builds some of the best cars available on the market today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
