ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The Toyota HiLux is Australia's best-selling ute, and any update to this model has significant implications for dealers

Toyota's recent release of the 'new' HiLux has been met with mixed reviews, with some steps forward and some steps back

What it means for the order bank

Dealers who have stockpiled the previous model may find themselves with a surplus of outdated vehicles, potentially impacting their bottom line

The update to the HiLux also raises questions about pricing and margin, as dealers will need to balance the cost of the new model with the potential savings offered to customers

Competitor response

Other ute manufacturers, such as Ford and Holden, will be watching Toyota's moves closely and may respond with their own updates or promotions

Dealers who can offer competitive pricing and incentives on the HiLux will be well-positioned to capture market share

Taking action

This week, dealers can review their current HiLux stock and pricing to ensure they are competitive, and consider offering special promotions to clear out old stock and make room for the new model
