Picked mine up in March, I got it on the 0% PCP with a 15% discount from the dealer. 

It drives and pulls really nice, and it's a very comfy truck. The auto is really nice, if a bit revvy sometimes.

I really like it, however it does feel a little half finished sometimes...There's a two pin socket in the arm rest which is a bit odd, the load bed on mine is squint and the gaps around the tailgate are so big that getting anything like a seal with a canopy is proving very challenging. 

Being my first pickup I think it's crazy thirsty too. I used to average about 37mpg in my transit custom, closer to 50 on long burns down the motorway. currently getting 27-28mpg in the hilux 😬

Mine was ordered before all of that - still December delivery! 
Yet I still get Hilux adverts all over my internet browsing....

The delivery times are mental. I ordered in January, deposit paid and all that, and was told June. Checked a few weeks later and was told October. In January.

I politely told them they could find one sooner or I'd go elsewhere and surprisingly it actually worked.
