NewHilux.net

im looking into buying my next, and i currently have a 2001 navara. im looking into getting a hilux but i cant find much info comparing workmates to the sr or sr5 unless it relates to the 2019 model but im looking in the range or 2008-2012 ish.

can someone tell the differences.

also any other important things to know when buying a Hilux would be great

Hi. The workmate is very different to the SR and SR5. The SR is basically the same car as the SR5, the only differences are some cosmetic bits and pieces in the cabin, rims (although many SR's are sold with the SR5 rims), push button heating and cooling (as apposed to dials), push button ignition, tub (SR is actually better for tying down) and some exclusive tech options (factory sat nav on the headset and a colour screen instead of blue over the steering wheel). You also can get 'descent assistance' in the SR5 which you don't need if you have any 4x4 experience. Oh and different headlights.
The workmate is a completely different car to the SR's. There's a different motor, transmission, suspension, cabin layout... basically it's built exclusively for work, not play.
All hilux's are a reliable buy. I've had mine for 3 years and love it more than ever.

…..and the Workmate is only 2WD I think
