If they don't agree with the new price buyers are eligible for a refund at any time in the process, before the vehicle is officially registered in their name. The latest price hike will affect thousands of Toyota customers who have been patiently waiting for vehicles for several months. The increase won't affect Toyota Kruger SUV's manufactured before September 2022 or other models assembled before November, 2022. Customers expecting their vehicles after July 1, will be hit with the latest price hike. Toyota said while the increase 'may be unwelcome... please understand we have carefully considered all factors before making such a decision'. It comes after the Japanese car giant announced an official partnership with Walkinshaw Automotive Group to convert the Tundra ute for local conditions. The move comes as Australia's car industry adapts to a growing appetite for the larger pick-up truck style so popular in the United States. A fleet of 300 Tundras is due to be deployed around Australia in the fourth quarter of 2023, before the model officially hits the market, possibly next year. 'Demand for full-size pick-ups in Australia continues to grow, and we believe we are entering the market at just the right time,' Toyota told Daily Mail Australia. Toyota is in an official partnership with Walkinshaw Automotive Group to convert the American-style Tundra pick-ups to a right-hand drive configuration for Australian roads Toyota Tundras are much larger, more powerful and far more expensive than Australia's most popular ute, the Hilux. Tundras are up to 6.2m in length, up to 80cm longer than a Hilux and at 2m in height, up to 30cm taller. While Toyota previously announced that the re-engineered Tundras would be hybrids, the prototypes spotted around Australia have so far been petrol only. In 2022 Toyota sold 64,391 Hiluxes, Ford's Ranger was the second most popular model, with 17,000 fewer cars sold. But monthly car sales data shows that in 2023 the Ranger is outselling Hilux. Two-thirds of new car sales in Australia in 2022 were SUVs, 4WDs or light commercial vehicles, including utes.
