Known Weaknesses:

Some older models of the Toyota Hilux especially those from the early 2000s have been reported to have issues with radiator durability, particularly around the area where hoses connect, leading to leaks.
Radiator fins may become clogged o r damaged by road debris, reducing the radiator’s efficiency.

Personal Experience:

You might notice recurring overheating issues o r leaks in certain models, which could be linked to factory design flaws o r inadequate coolant maintenance.
