Ek was nogal geskok toe ek die artikel lees, eks glad nie 'n fan van 'n diff-breker Ford. Die eerste keer in 34 jaar! Ek dink dis tyd vir 'n nuwe Hilux!

Ek is bly. Hopelik skrik Toyota nou wakker. Hulle was te gerus daar op hulle troon

Re: Hilux dethroned as top selling bakkie
Toyota is mos aan die slaap, dit gebeur as jy dieselfde bakkie na 9 jaar nogsteeds bemark met nuwe stickers en n hoer prys, ek sal ook nie n nuwe (ou) hilux koop as ek die geld gehad het nie.

Re: Hilux dethroned as top selling bakkie
Probleem is Toyota is "imitators" nie "innovators" nie... Voorheen was dit maklik om 'n nuwe model uit te bring.. hulle kyk wat het Ford/Mazda, Isuzu en Nissan in hulle bakkies ingebou, tweak dit bietjie en sit dit in die nuwe Hilux... en daar is 'n nuwe bakkie... 
Toe kom Amarok by en van die Chinese, en Ford en Mazda split en Mitsubishi kom ook by met meer moderne goed.... Toe is daar ewe skielik so baie goed om te imitate dat hulle confused raak..
Intussen ontwikkel die ander goed dat dit klap, en daar is een van die dae alweer 'n nuwe rondte releases van die kompetisie... terwyl ons weer 9 jaar met die 2016 model sal moet aansukkel, wat eintlik maar net op par gaan wees met die 2014 kompetisie...

Re: Hilux dethroned as top selling bakkie
Daar is 'n ander standpunt ook. Hoe langer hulle 'n vorm hou hoe langer bly hy populêr so dit beteken sy herverkoop bly beter en jou bakkie lyk nie so gou "oud" nie so dit is nie noodwendig 'n slegte ding nie.
Wat wel pla is dat hoe langer hulle 'n platform gebruik hoe goedkoper word die vervaardiging maar daardie voordeel sien die eind-verbruiker nie want die bakkies word net al duurder.

Not surprising, Toyota has lost its identity and looks like a "mengelmoes" of everything else!

Re: Hilux dethroned as top selling bakkie
On paper you can tell me and show me the stats...The ranger has outsold the Hilux. .......but practically. ...and just read all the threads about the Ranger and understand and read the frustration that goes with owning a Ford...then I have to ask...are we missing something...

Even the Novel Ford "Raptor" looks awesome
Showed it to Swambo and she said when she has enough money, she will buy it for herself

Re: Hilux dethroned as top selling bakkie
Julle klomp grootbekke wat so praat van Rangers koop - talk is cheap, Rangers even cheaper now with all the Ford specials. So julle kan maar koop.
Maar julle sal nie. En julle weet hoekom.
Hehehe.

Re: Hilux dethroned as top selling bakkie
Die Ranger is soos die mooiste en maklikste girl op skool, almal wil hulle ry, maar niemand wil hulle huistoe vat nie, want dit gaan jou duur kos om van hulle ontslae te raak.

Alles is waar, As Toyota die shape hou wat hulle het vir die laaste paar jaar al en net die 3.0 d4d tune dat hy 20kw en 50nm meer uitsit dan sien die Ford weer sy gat. Al bly die shape dieselfde.

Re: Hilux dethroned as top selling bakkie
I suppose that what you get for taking your customers for the wee-wee. Not debating on which one will last longer but rather what the market wants and what sales are doing. I know 'ol Klipdrift van der Merwe, from Kliprand, will never drive anything other than a Hilux because nothing else will last 15 years and 500 000km over the harsh Namaqua terrain but truthfully, 'ol Klipdrif's once-in-15-year-purchase is NOT going to keep Toyota afloat and wont keep everything going right.
I saw this coming when we were shopping for a double-cab and the very obviously dated 'Lux just kept getting facelifts with figures representing the number of months it was losing on the competitors: Legend 40-months behind, Legend 45-months behind. I suppose sentiment is not everything anymore......
Sales figures are often a mislead though as a LOT of sales go to rental fleets, mines, institutions like Eskom, Telkom etc. Even so, the wheel has turned. Lets hope Toy bring out a spiffy engine, a proper load capacity, proper towing capacity and un updated cab. Until Toyota come to the party, I will be enjoying my Frot.
On a side note- I joked on the Land Cruiser site about buying a Land Rover because.....and I listed a LOT of issues that we as Toyota supporters tend to either keep hush or ignore. I touched a few nerves but nobody could argue. Its always easier to fault the competitors but you should rather keep an eye on your preferred brands faults so that you can regularly confirm that it is still the best choice for you..... Hou die kop oop. Hierdie kompetisie is n goeie ding. BTW, wifes Frot has not given hassles yet....
