This model range, made famous by the BBC's Top Gear. is a definite hit with Buries] team in its latest guise scoring strongly in the fuel economy stakes where it set, and still holds. the efficiency record for our Kent van route in this sector.
Like the test of the Toyota range power comes from the company's 2.5-litre engine offering 102hp and this common-rail machine combines that class leading economywilh excellent performance and response underfoot. Handling, as with all pickups, improves with load in the back, though the HiLux behaves well even when empty, though be careful in the wet.
As with all double-cab pick-ups the load area is compromised, though it was handy enough, but it would benefit from a protective bulkhead between the load area and cab—we managed to scratch the rear window when carrying garden debris.
Class leading economy Good comfort levels Handling in wet a bit tricky VERDICT One of our front runners in the 4x4 pick-up sector
