Few vehicles worldwide are famous for being physically undefeatable and can take you anywhere. Among these vehicles, Toyota Hilux maintains its unbreakable position. But can this mountain beast maintain its title of the undefeatable against the dunes in Namibia?
The Toyota Hilux is also called the breed king because its rivals have surpassed this beast in all the other physical attributes except toughness. That's why the Toyota Hilux maintains its position as the strongest among these other automobiles. The Hilux was the greatest until 2004, but since many years have passed, the other automakers have developed new features and technologies in their vehicles to stand their ground against Hilux.
However, the new model released in 2016 is claimed to be much more powerful and tougher than the previous models. Toyota claims to have done double the amount of welds that were done initially on the 2004 Hilux. By doing so, the vehicle has greatly improved in the field of steering and control. In addition, the new Hilux chassis is 20 percent stronger and supports a strong heavy body on the top, making body control much easier.
These Toyota manufactured monsters, such as the popular Land cruiser and the Hilux, are the most famous and most purchased in the areas like Namibia, not only because of their physical attributes but also because these vehicles are dependable. Aside from tire punctures, almost nothing can disturb you from your journey.
Being much stronger than before, it was time to take this monster to the test. The Hilux was tested in the dunes of Namibia, and it performed pretty well. The vehicle was sometimes slightly noisy in the middle but offered a great pickup and high power when climbing hills and rocks. The car maintained its balance well, and the luxury it provided along the way was top of the class.
Only a few factors led down this vehicle. During the middle of the drive, one of the wheels got punctured. Good thing that the Hilux comes with an extra wheel. The wheel got replaced very quickly. The Hilux was not much smooth during slow-speed trials and was overheating.
However, in the quick speed stunts, there were no complaints. The Toyota Hilux passed the trials with flying colors, but can this automobile still maintain its position against the other newly released SUVs and pick up the big rivals for the Hilux would be the newly released Land Rover's Defender?
Aside from being physically undefeatable, will the parts of these beastly vehicles be available in the local market? And how much will be the cost of the maintenance? And how much damage will these vehicles take on the trip? Hilux is the best solution to these questions.
Unfortunately, the new Defender will lack the availability of parts, which is expected to be costly.
