The numbers from the Hilux secured its leadership in the segment, which has been dominated by three main brands.
The Ford Ranger, in second place, recorded 31,855 units sold, while the Chevrolet S10, which has seen better days in the market, occupied third place with 27,393 units.
On the other hand, the Fiat Titano, although it ended the year in seventh place, showed remarkable growth, with sales representing about half of the S10’s, surpassing traditional competitors like the Mitsubishi Triton.
What Buyers Are Saying
Toyota Hilux
- Strengths: Users value the robustness, reliability, and comfort of the Hilux. Many highlight the engine’s durability and off-road capability as attributes that make it ideal for those seeking adventure.
- Weaknesses: The high price is often cited as a disadvantage, along with some criticism regarding the equipment level in the entry version.
Chevrolet S10
- Strengths: Owners appreciate the interior space and ergonomics, as well as the engine power. The S10 is considered a good choice for both work and leisure.
- Weaknesses: Fuel consumption and the lack of updates compared to competitors in terms of infotainment technology are often mentioned.
Ford Ranger
- Strengths: Ranger buyers highlight the engine performance and load capacity as its main attributes. The Ranger is seen favorably for commercial use.
- Weaknesses: Some users point out that maintenance can be expensive and that fuel consumption could be better.
Fiat Titano
- Strengths: The new Fiat pickup is praised for its cost-effectiveness and fuel efficiency, which is considered efficient. The modern design also receives positive reviews.
- Weaknesses: However, the Titano is still seen as a newcomer and may lack the robustness and reliability history that brands like Toyota and Chevrolet offer.
Comparison: Strengths and Weaknesses Among Pickups
| Model | Strengths | Weaknesses |
| Toyota Hilux | Robustness, reliability, comfort | High price, equipment in the entry version |
| Chevrolet S10 | Interior space, engine power | High fuel consumption, lack of updated technology |
| Ford Ranger | Performance, load capacity | Expensive maintenance, fuel consumption |
| Fiat Titano | Cost-effectiveness, fuel efficiency | Lack of history, comparative robustness |
Expectations for Pickups in 2025
The competitive scenario becomes even more intriguing for market leaders. In 2025, the Fiat Titano will cease production in Uruguay and will be produced in Argentina, increasing its production capacity and creating growth expectations in sales. At the same time, the new generation of the Mitsubishi Triton is also expected to boost its sales.
On the other hand, Toyota is preparing to launch the light hybrid Hilux, while Ford plans new versions of the Ranger, including a single-cab variant focused on work. However, it is still unclear whether these launches will occur within this year.
In summary, the pickup market in Brazil is constantly evolving, and the rivalry among these brands promises a 2025 filled with innovations and challenges for consumers.
