I am 6ft and in the back seat of my 2014 SR5 there is 2 inches of space above my head, in the New Hilux My head is HARD against the hood lining to the point where I can't even sit up straight, is this a step backwards?

The new diesel is very quiet and the throttle response is excellent, coupled to the new 6 speed auto feels more like a petrol engine. The cabin is more quiet on the road while the rear was a little harsh with nothing in it. Some of the things I liked was the padded arm rests on the doors, folding mirrors, auto windows on all doors, guide lines on the rear camera and the info display on the instrument cluster is really nice. I don't mind the plastic side steps as I think they will be easier to keep clean than the old alloy type and about as strong. Mine is coming with the new Toyota/EGR canopy which now has central locking. There is still room under the bonnet for a second battery and they now offer a Toyota/Redarc dual battery kit for it.
