The Hilux is massive, to say the least, and is longer than a Mercedes S-Class and taller than a Jeep Grand Cherokee, for reference. It dawns a similar grille design as the Toyota Innova but adds a whole bunch of butch to its silhouette. It looks imposing and means with the potential to look even more menacing if spec’d correctly. There is nothing overly flashy about the design apart from its dimensions, and it’s a pick-up with a relatively minimal approach. The tail has “TOYOTA” written in bold and looks mature overall.
Toyota offers a whole host of accessories for the Hilux, allowing you to customise it uniquely with whatever your aesthetic or utilitarian needs may demand. My favourite was the Hilux, equipped with a canopy and a sleeper tent mounted to the roof. It looked like it was built to go globe-trotting, and I can only hope it encourages more owners to venture into the wild. My only gripe is the lack of colours, with Red being the only actual colour on offer while the rest are the same old dull shades of grey and white. The Hilux is a lifestyle vehicle that has the potential to pull off some genuinely vibrant colours, and I can only hope someone at Toyota India reads this and has one of those light bulb moments.
