Bought a Hilux Vigo 3.0 smart cab in 2014.... 4x4 manual still running beautifully, Not planning to sell it . Mine was made in Thailand but for domestic market,
Toyota pickup trucks, particularly the Toyota Hilux and Land Cruiser models, have become notable for their use by freedom fighter organizations and insurgent groups as "technicals." These vehicles are prized for their rugged durability, reliability, and off-road capabilities, making them ideal for the harsh terrains often encountered in conflict zones. Freedom fighter groups frequently modify these trucks by mounting heavy weaponry, such as machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, and rocket launchers, turning them into highly mobile and effective combat platforms. The ease of maintenance and availability of spare parts for Toyota pickups further contribute to their popularity among such groups. This widespread use has been observed in various conflicts across the Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia, highlighting the unintended role of these commercial vehicles in modern asymmetric warfare.
Great truck but.......... ONE MAJOR PROBLEM...... the chassis crossmember which holde in the fuel tank is made of cheese. That crossmember will rust out by the time it's 11 years old sometimes sooner. Mine had hardly been used off-road, seen very little winter salt on roads, i live in Sussex. At 10 years old i had to replace the fuel tank crossmember, it's so common , it's hard to locate a replacement crossmember, Toyota and Rough trax are constantly sold out, with them constantly on order. Yet Toyota deny it's a problem . It's a recall in the USA. I've owned Hilux's for 45 years, never again cause even the latest model is rusting out on the same crossmember. ps. the rest of the chassis is perfect on mine. However Scottish trucks are rusting on every crossmembe and that front bash plate on Scottish trucks is just dissolving. ISUZU is the way forward now.
Toyota car driving experience performance comparison test is not good on highway only good at harsh task off-road, Mitsubishi is the best number One champion in highway terrain cross country rally speeding very good stability manuvering cornering handling
@@Guerra1301 Toyota Hilux is the trash car use only 30 years old become scraps metal not good compared to Mitsubishi car better handling heavy duty Long lasting 50 years old still good running on the road
@@Guerra1301 if Toyota Hilux is good why it cannot defeated Mitsubishi Triton in rally off-road competition championship cross country Thailand Laos to Cambodia?
I have a pre-facelift version of this, but with the 4.0L 6cyl petrol, with 300,000km on it, still a fantastic vehicle.
I don’t think we got that engine here. Very jealous!
I have that same engine the 1GR Fe 4.0 but in a 2014 Tacoma here in 🇺🇸
@@tareskisloki8579 i hv a 3.0 d4d
Also have one with that engine. Only at 270000km though. Love my bakkie

Invincible!!!

I don't think there are any "freedom fighter" groups in the Derbyshire dales
Baught a 2013 model Hilux 2024 now and hasn't missed a beat
That sounds like a Hilux!
One of the best hilux ever built hoping to pick up one myself soon
It’s certainly very popular

Should have bought a Land Rover
@@buckleup_Mk2 Thats a good laugh. What a piece of rubbish that is.
D4D BEST ENGINE EVER
It's definitely a great choice!

Interesting take
What you talk about don"t compare trash car with hilux.

Those shoes are even more rediculous than your red ones
Correct
They are wellington boots, and incredibly comfortable. Wearing them whilst driving the Hilux just felt right 😅😅
