It's time for another pickup truck! This time, Tiff, Paul and Ben take a look at the legendary Toyota Hilux!

Having sold over 19 million of the Hilux since they starting building it in 1968, and first sold in Britain in 1972, the Hilux is the most popular pickup truck in Europe! We let Ben 'clever cloggs' Collins take the reigns of the 8th generation Hilux, with a 3.5 tonne towing capacity.

The name Hilux is made up of a combination of high and luxury, of which it was in comparison to Toyota's other pickup at the time, the Stout. Powered by a 2.8L engine, the Hilux has a 0-62MPH time of 10.7 seconds, going onto a top speed of 109mph.

Built as a workhorse, the Hilux is just at home off the road as it is on building sites and it's clear that Toyota have built it to work in a rugged environment with an aggressive looking exterior and a hardwearing interior - built not to break! Certainly a thumbs up from the former stig!
