About this vehicle
The Hilux is the vehicle you take when the tarmac runs out. Five seats in the cab, a covered load bed behind, and the ground clearance and four-wheel drive to handle estate tracks, project sites and the unsealed approaches to lodges that a saloon simply cannot reach.
It is the natural choice for NGO and survey teams working in the districts, for contractors moving people and equipment together, and for anyone travelling in the rainy season when a graded road can change character overnight.
Manual transmission, so the driver keeps full control on descents and in low-traction conditions — which is exactly what you want on a wet escarpment.
Best for
- Project sites and field work
- Safari and park access roads
- Rainy-season travel in the districts
- Carrying people and equipment together
