The Toyota Hilux needs no introduction. In fact, the name is synonymous with pick-up trucks, so much so that rival trucks are often branded as ‘Hilux’ by the public, such is its name recognition. A byword for toughness, durability and reliability, one can’t really go wrong with the Hilux.
If you’re set on a Hilux, the question you have to answer is which variant? There’s a single cab 2.4 MT, double cab 2.4E (MT and AT), the double cab 2.4V AT, the 2.8 Rogue AT and the range-topping 2.8 GR Sport AT to choose from, with a price range from RM104,880 to RM173,280.
The Hilux range is powered by 150 PS/400 Nm 2.4 litre 2GD-FTV and 204 PS/500 Nm 1GD-FTV four-cylinder turbodiesels. The GR Sport’s 1GD-FTV got bumped up to 224 PS and 550 Nm last year for extra oomph.
