VFACTS April: Ranger leads HiLux again, but Toyota still won the April sales race

The Toyota HiLux followed with 4693 sales (4029 4X4, 664 4X2), placing it nearly 1000 units behind Ford’s ute for April.

The gap is much bigger from the year-to-date view: Ford has racked up 21,330 Ranger sales (19,329 going to 4X4), while the HiLux sits on 17,193 (14,949 4X4). The next-gen HiLux can’t come soon enough.
