Resale King! Toyota’s Most Popular Hilux Tested (Toyota Hilux SR Cab-Chassis 2026 Review)

We’ve already tested the top-end SR5 that gets all the attention, but for most buyers the cheaper and yet still well-equipped SR grade is the better choice. Accounting for 37 percent of all Hilux sales, the SR grade makes a lot of sense of solo tradies and bigger businesses alike, with a no-nonsense feature set and unrivalled resale value. But with the new-generation Hilux criticised so heavily for failing to innovate, should buyers be concerned or does this tried and tested ute still make too much sense to ignore? In today’s review, editor-at-large Nathan Ponchard takes a look at the Hilux SR in cab-chassis guise to find out if it's worth the hype.
