Behold the New Toyota Hilux
The newest variant, which incorporates several tech-savvy features, further elevates its key and reliable expectations to a higher and brighter level. As such, we’d like to share some of these exciting factors for you and our readers to realize why the Hilux is such a wonderful vehicle!
An Impressive Toyota Pick Up Ride
First and foremost, we’d like to highlight some of the many milestones that this very fine vehicle has achieved. As a constant feature in the famous BBC motoring show, Top Gear, the Hilux has always been acknowledged to provide sturdy and safe motoring advancements.
Even when placed under extreme test (which, in some episodes of the show, resulted to structural damage), this Toyota Pick Up still can be driven around in a comfortable and exciting manner. For even more bizarre and extreme cases, the Hilux has been driven around as an amphibious vehicle and trekked in the harshest conditions such as a trail towards the North Pole – which, of course, with the pick up truck passing in flying colors!

Another important milestone that this truck has achieved is its world record in the 2008 / 2009 Amundsen Omega 3 South Pole race. With a completed trip of over 5,000 km, this is a car that definitely can take the torture of whatever bizarre weather and road condition it has been placed with.
Also, considering its power and sturdiness, the Toyota Hilux has been a mainstay for military forces around the world. As a light cavalry vehicle, this Toyota Pick Up has been a powerhouse ride to get troops in and out of a battlefield in the safest way possible.

Next, we’d like to discuss how the Hilux’s engine and motoring performance is a great deal for motorists, especially those who rely on diesel to get through by in their daily lives. With Toyota’s priority on expanding and improving their range on their diesel vehicles, the Toyota Hilux’s engine performs at a higher and more powerful level. With a choice of either 3.0 liter 2982cc diesel engine or a 2.5 liter 2494cc diesel engine, the power to choose between the both impressive engine variants provides a driver to get the control he or she can manage with.
The 3.0 liter engine comes with a 4-cylinder 16V double overheard camshaft (DOHC) variable nozzle turbo (with intercooler) system, which results to an exciting and powerful ride. With a maximum power output of 163 PS (3400 rpm), with a very high torque of 343 Nm (1400 to 3200 rpm), this choice is definitely one that will deliver the best in motoring performance.
The other engine option comes also with the 16V double overheard camshaft (DOHC) in two power tunes. When it comes to maximum power output, this option does not also disappoint – the first power tune results in 102 PS (3600 rpm) with an impressive peak torque of 200 Nm (1400 to 3400 rpm); the other and more powerful tune at 144 PS (3400 rpm), and also an amazing peak torque record of 343 Nm (1600 to 2800 rpm).

The Toyota Hilux also comes with an even more exciting variant, the SR5 (Sport Rally 5-Speed). This version, popular in North America, proves just how impressive the Hilux is even in the USA.
