2025 Toyota HiLux vs other Utes to consider
The Toyota HiLux's most direct rival is the Ford Ranger which most recently was unveiled in new-generation form.
The HiLux also competes against the recently updated the Isuzu D-Max and Mazda BT-50 siblings.

In saying this though, the HiLux still provides that Toyota-tough reliability and reputation, as well as high resale value.
