What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer’s opinion
The updated Hilux with its semi-autonomous technology, a more-potent powerplant and luxurious interior is worthy of wearing SA’s best-selling bakkie crown. With the added convenience of a motorized roller shutter and rubberized drop-in bedliner, there’s no need to splurge on a massive SUV that will end up towing a trailer come the December holidays
