AutoExec Summary
The Ford Ranger has surpassed the Toyota HiLux in Australian new-vehicle sales, with a lead of 5016 deliveries at the halfway point of 2024. This is the largest gap between the two top-selling utes over the first half of a calendar year. The Ranger is on track to break its annual deliveries record for the second year in a row, with a year-on-year sales growth of 29.6%. Meanwhile, the Toyota HiLux is nearing retirement, and a new model is expected next year or in 2026. The HiLux has almost been overtaken by the Toyota RAV4 in the year-to-date sales race, prompting Toyota to axe petrol-only, non-hybrid variants.
