Living in a world where being pressed for time is nothing out of the ordinary, and running errands is something that’s part of everyone’s daily schedule, it’s needless to say we’re all depending on our cars to take us from point A to point B fast.

What’s interesting about us Aussies is we’re all lovers of the outdoors (camping is in our genes), most of us like to take to the road and go on an adventurous trip even off-road, just as much as we like to head out shopping and cruising the city streets, and as such we need the reliable vehicles we can count on no matter the terrain. Rural workers and tradies aren’t the only ones who enjoy a 4×4.

Taking all this into account, it’s not surprising the car of the year last year in our country was a ute, and not just any ute, but Toyota Hilux. The Hilux has already been the favourite for sever years in a row in West Australia, Queensland, and the Northern Territory. This goes to show how much this sort of vehicle is making its way as a family vehicle.

This car brand specifically has been the top-selling when it comes to 4WD utes for more than three decades already, and this was something the Japanese carmakers were well aware of which is why the upgrading of the Hilux was done thanks to the surveying of Australian Hilux owners. Considering how much of a mass-produced car this is, great news is it’s not that difficult to come across parts for Toyota Hilux that are affordable.

Our passion for utes isn’t all that surprising given the fact the first ute idea was given to Ford Australia by a farmer’s wife in Gippsland back in 1932; we’ve loved utes ever since. Since these vehicles are so widespread throughout our country, it’s not difficult for owners to own and maintain them.

If not the brand new OEM parts, then you can count you’d be able to find high quality parts for Toyota Hilux custom-made and inexpensive so that you can afford to replace anything that needs replacing and take back your amazing ute back on the streets.

Every car bought is an investment that requires maintenance and servicing from time to time, but this is something you wouldn’t have to worry about when owning a Toyota Hilux, as they have the Toyota Service Advantage tailored to cover up servicing with low-capped prices on the years of ownership and kilometres spent driving the car – a reason more to become the proud owner of a Toyota car.

With advanced and sophisticated car features, like the seven air bags and chilled glovebox for cool drinks, the Toyota Hilux is becoming the car that would win over more Aussie hearts over the years.
