Anything worrying you about your Hilux? How much maintenance is needed? What 'new' stuff in a new ute would serve you better than what you have? Safety/economy/power/features?
I went through this about a year ago. My 2014 Ranger is clocking up the KM but has the mods I need and suits my work/life. At the time it had around 250,000km on the clock. Did some costings and it worked out I would of been out of pocket $40-50k to get a <3yr old ute to where mine is now. But then I would of had a 2020/21 ute that would of had very similar safety/space/features etc but just newer and less km.
I decided to keep my ute, have spent over $5k on preventative maintenance (new injectors/glow plugs, inlet manifold clean, trans flushed, new radiator/fan and a few other bits and pieces. Hopefully get me a few more years until my needs change. Now at 273,000km and happy with my decision.
Just couldn't justify the $$$ and the covid prices.
