Toyota Hilux Double Cab Turbo Review: Guerilla's choice
You think it's just an ordinary pick-up that should be kept to the left most lane? Unfortunately for most car drivers, the Toyota Hilux is more than that - it's practical, fun to drive and we just love it. Read on to find out why...
What we like:
Utilitarian- guaranteed durable
- surprisingly easy to handle and it comes with (believe it or not) alloy wheels.
What we dislike:
Bouncy ride- missing reverse sensors despite the Hilux's length.
While its ladder chassis and body-on-frame construction may not do much for ride comfort or on-road handling, what it does is impart the Hilux with a tremendous ability to go just about anywhere (4WD equipped models) and serve just about any purpose.
Try to watch some news about a conflict happening in some part of the world, and chances are you'll catch sight of bullet-riddled Hilux still being driven about by irregular forces or militiamen. You could take the average Joe, put him in a Hilux and it'd be possible for him to end up in the Sahara. Or even Antarctica for that matter.
It's a truck engineered to be as tough as a nail, and we like it for the simple reason that it accomplishes that - and the added driving fun it offers...
