A fantastic choice for work and play, the Toyota Hilux has quite the reputation within the 4WD market. It’s a vehicle make and model that certainly impresses, with its ability to negotiate the toughest terrains often applauded. This isn’t the only reason why the Hilux stands out either as JohnOnWheels explains:
“The Hilux is built like a tank, with a robust ladder frame construction and heavy-duty suspension. It can handle extreme off-road conditions and withstand the wear and tear of demanding work environments… The Hilux offers a range of powerful engine options, from fuel-efficient diesels to more potent petrol units. This ensures you have the right power for your needs, whether you’re towing a trailer or navigating challenging trails.”
With all these plus-points, it should come as no surprise that the Hilux regularly tops the chart as the best Toyota for off-roading. The Series 8 2015-on model scores particularly high when it comes to off-road performance. Boost the GUN125’s natural off-road abilities further by adding the following upgrades to your setup…
