2024 Toyota HiLux GR Sport review

There are big changes for this new range-topping Toyota HiLux GR Sport - but it’s not a Ranger Raptor rival.
Pros :
Seriously capable off-road
Looks tough in person
Retains 3.5t towing
Cons :
Still has an unpleasant ride
Not as special as newer utes inside
No ANCAP rating applicable
Don’t call it a Ranger Raptor rival. That’s not what this is supposed to be.
That’s according to Toyota Australia, which did most of the work on this new top-spec take on the current-gen HiLux theme.
The Toyota HiLux GR Sport is the result of an Australian-led design and development program with the aim of instilling the essence of the Dakar Rally-winning HiLux truck into something a regular customer could buy.
Honestly, that seems a tad far-fetched, but the designers have showcased some cues that help you connect the two in your mind.
