what are d price differencePreludeman1 wrote:hi all,
Thinking of buying a new hilux and was considering the 2.4 turbo diesel option versus the 2.8L turbo diesel counterpart.
I saw on the brochure that the clearance heights are different between the 2.4 and 2.8 models. But on looking at them in the showroom they do not seem to have varying heights.
Anyone familiar with the new 2018 Hilux can give an explanation or add clarity??

Went in today and found that the clearance is the same on all 4x4 Hilux models (both 2.4 and 2.8 ) so it looks like there is an error on the brochure regarding the 2.4 fabric trim.
Throwing it out there for anyone who may be looking in the future.

A few weeks ago, I went to see the Toyota Rush at TTTL's showroom, Barataria. I actually organized a demo of the unit cause I told myself that once it was impressive enough, I'd consider selling one of our rides (a Fortuner) use the cash to buy the Rush and have some cash left over. Man was I disappointed and glad I didn't sell the Fortuner as yet! Can't even imagine why its being called the baby Fortuner.
I must admit that I am really disappointed that Toyota pitches this as a seven seater and I really cannot comprehend why people are purchasing this. The third row is cramped. i'm 5'-10" and can fit pretty acceptably in the third row of the Fortuner. The Rush is cramped, to the point where my body hurt after a few minutes.
The second row is small and three adults cannot comfortable in the second row. Two adults will be comfortable.
Dimension wise: its narrower than the RaV4 and probably just as long. So it looks out of proportion.
The vehicle, while sold by Toyota is made by Daihatsu, which is owned by TMC. So the looks of the Rush are reminiscent of previous models like the Terios which if you know the latter will agree that there is that similar out of proportion resemblance.
I have three kids and all three are in varying degrees of car seats. For some time, we had one car seat in the second row and used the third row for two other car seats. Now for the comfort of all, all three car seats are in the second row and the third row is folded up but available to use should the need arise (which it has). If you are a family which has three small kids who are not in car seats/booster seats, then maybe the Rush vehicle can work. It should be noted that three car seats will never comfortable nor safely fit in this vehicle. The second row can only take two car seats but then a third passenger will have to climb through the trunk to enter the third row, For a family with two kids, maybe this can work with the third row up, but then one can argue that it basically becomes a five seater when there are better and similarly priced 5 seaters on the market. Sure some people would say that "its a Toyota" with the normal resale value blah blahs. But in reality, this is a Toyota badged Daihatsu.
I didn't waste time going for a test drive as the Rush did not appeal to me as maybe other vehicles in Toyota's (and perhaps other dealers') lineup. Even the salesman, a good colleague of mines, told me don't waste time to sell the Fortuner for the Rush as this wold be a dumb mistake. I now see why. Point to note, that its a 1.5L engine and while I was there, someone demo'd it before me and then another person right after me. On both occasions, the respective salesman told the customers that they will take the vehicle up the Lady Young to demo the capabilities of the engine and other features (presumably hill descent or hill start). Personally, I think it's to show that this 1.5L engine can make steep hills but even so, I think it'll struggle making a Maracas or Las Cuevas run with five passengers and beach gear/coolers. Won't even trust this on a Blanchicheusse Road! I cant even imagine why people are running down this vehicle and the shipments are being sold out even before arriving in the country. The few I saw on the road had the third row up, so I'm wondering if this was purchased as a seven seater or as a five seater.
So while I'm an advocate for more new seven seaters on the market, I think that this Rush is not worth it and its back to the drawing board to see who can bring good seven seater alternatives other than the conventional SUVs or minibuses.
That's my 2 cents worth.
Yeah dont see the big deal with the rush..looks unattractive and narrow...toyota could hwve done betterkamakazi wrote:It is a Terios replacement.
