The pickup truck market is highly competitive, but one model, the Hilux, has continued to set the standard for over 50 years. The latest makeover introduced a new top-of-the-line model, the GR Sport, which adds premium touches to a vehicle known for its workhorse capabilities.
Toyota emphasizes that the GR Sport is designed for both work and leisure, offering high-quality cabin comfort, safety features, and connectivity options. The range includes the single cab Active, starting at just over £27k plus VAT, and the more upscale Invincible. This model is available with a 2.4-litre petrol engine and features new equipment, improved comfort, and enhanced on and off-road performance.
The new GR Sport model features a sporty and dynamic design, with revised front ends, wheel arch mouldings, fog light surrounds, and specific 18-inch alloy wheel designs. The pickup's flat bed can accommodate various shapes and sizes, with the ability to carry a full-sized pallet and optional hard top available.
On the road, performance is decent for such a heavy vehicle designed to go anywhere vehicle. It can hit 60mph in just over 10 seconds, but economy is surprisingly decent given engine size and overall weight, with the 30mpg WLTP figure easily achieved – and a little more.
