🤔 What are the pros and cons of the Toyota Hilux Champ?

[eileenemmins]

I’m not against evs but l like to make my own mind up not be forced into it

[valf.]

I love my reliable 2005 Camry with 390, 000km. Still looking great with no rust and an engine that just needs oil changes.

“Customers first, regulation second.”
Damn, that goes hard

Just switched to a Toyota hybrid after driving BMWs for 30 years….you know what….Toyota hybrid technology is so good and the drive is so smooth, it’s not a downgrade at all.

[braddouglas]

Forcing a manufacturer to pay fines for not wanting to manufacture something that doesn't sell is just ludicrous.

[Cubby]

Toyota is in the business of making cars people want to buy.

[Shailens]

That's why Toyota is the world leader in their business.

[michaelbailey]

Its more his courage than vision that is most admirable. Taking a stance when all the rest fell into line.

Here in OHIO, we know exactly how many winters a car battery lasts. You got 4-5 years maximum. So your EV is a 4-5 year car. Most conventional cars last about 14 years, and indefinitely if garaged and continuously maintained.

I've driven a Toyota hybrid for 5 years and outside of standard services it has only cost me a new 12 volt battery and one headlamp bulb. 50 + MPG is unbeatable

[petermarsh]

Clever engineering and shrewd management made Toyota the world’s Nº1 car manufacturer. Smart thinking keeps this going whereas their competitors go down the rabbit hole to destruction.

I'm in the UK and have a 4 year old Toyota Camry Hybrid. On long journeys it does nearly 800 miles for one tank of fuel and takes less than 5 mins to refuel. No EV on the planet comes anywhere near matching that! on average I get about 550 mile per tank with my regular journeys. I will have it for a long time as they stopped making it for the UK market and they have nothing in the current model range that meets my needs like this one does. This is my fourth Toyota since 1998 and I won't be switching brands, I will wait and see what their future models bring. My wife and son are each on their 3rd Toyotas and won't change either.

I've been driving a hybrid for 6 years. Best of both worlds, and I was able to drive from NJ to Nashville only stopping to eat and 5 minute fuel-ups.

People don't understand that the Japanese auto industry is very conservative. They figure out what works and tend to stick with it until they find something better and work the kinks out of that and only then replace their old systems.

[xfire]

Toyota you absolute goats , good on you for standing your ground. E.V's are the beta max video cassettes of green cars .

[jepserlange]

my next car will probaly be a Toyota. Good quality, and 110 % reliably..
and no bullshit agenda

[shonvoo]

Toyota works smarter, not harder. Toyota let other manufacturers do the experiment, knowing it can build the best ev anytime. No body beats Toyota in building the most reliable automobiles. Today, My 2006 4runner still run like day one from the dealer.

I’ve been driving an EV with long range batteries (Skoda Enyaq 80) for 13 months now, I did 6’000 kms when I’ve been doing 25k per year every year since 1994. Why? Max 300 kms in a single 3 hours charge (at 22kW), incredible lack of public chargers in Spain, France, Italy where I use to drive, and half of the existing chargers out of order. Plus some are at 0.8€/kW, more expensive than petrol for the same autonomy. I’ve even paid 1500€ to repair my old 2012 Smart Fortwo (111’000 kms) to have a car on the weekends. Really, this is not working, EVs are utterly bad!

Generally speaking any business that depends upon government subsidies is not a good idea.
