MODEL TESTED/PUBL1SHED:
The latest generation of Toyota's classic pickup arrived in late 2005, described as "one size up", and improved in every respect bar one.
The conservative power output left it lagging in the power stakes compared with Its contemporary rivals, but new for 2007 are Euro-4 2,5 and 3.0-litre engines, the big unit's 169hp moving the Hilux near to the top of the sector, Also new for 2007 is the extended four-door Extra Cab, which gives an extra 300mrn of load bed length, and
an automatic transmission option Standard kit level is high, even on the lowest specced models. ABS and two airbags will keep you safe, while air-con, electric windows, adjustable steering column, MP3 CD player and remote central looking alarm add some extra convenience, Toyota seems to have taken its eye off the ball in the pickup sector, but the latest revisions should give it an opportunity to regain ground if it wants to.
