In the field of hard-core off-road vehicles, pickup products have always occupied a place, because most pickup trucks will adopt non-loaded body structure platform and the whole bridge is a girder structure, so it is very suitable for running bad roads. In the face of long-term bad road conditions, the reliability of pickup trucks will be higher than that of urban SUVs. In fact, there are many classic Japanese pickup trucks with good off-road ability. For example, among many off-road vehicles, Toyota hilux is a common security vehicle. This one is so classic that it looks ugly. In fact, crossing no man's land is very reassuring.
Recently, Toyota Motor released a brand-new special edition of Toyota hilux overseas. This new model is named mako version, and the new car has added a lot of exterior decoration kits, so its off-road ability will be stronger than the original model. First of all, from the aspect of design, the front of the car was replaced by a black large mouth air intake net, and LED light sources were used on both sides. The bumper of this car has been obviously replaced, which can make the approach angle of the whole car bigger, and the red trailer hooks on both sides of the bumper are very conspicuous.
The side of the car body was replaced by a more exaggerated thick black anti-scratch wheel eyebrow, and the rearview mirror shell was also changed to a color matching design. The black high-strength and heavy-duty anti-drop ring wheel hub is quite domineering, with AT off-road tires with larger patterns. The suspension system of the whole vehicle has also been upgraded. It can be clearly seen that the ground clearance of this special edition car is higher. After the suspension stroke is increased, it will be more emboldened in the face of cross-axis road conditions. The original trailer hook is attached to the rear of the car and connected with the whole vehicle girder.
After opening the door, you can see that the interior design has been slightly changed, and the front cockpit space is designed with a right rudder, because the special edition launched this time is limited to 250 units, and it is aimed at the New Zealand market first. There is no full LCD instrument panel in front of the driver, but the key to the center console is that the screen size has increased. The two independent seats in the front row adopt the bucket seat shape of racing car, which makes the sense of movement more obvious. This ultra-thin back-to-back makes the leg space of rear passengers further expand.
The starting price of this model in the New Zealand market reached 79,990 New Zealand dollars, about 360,000 yuan. This price is really high-profile, but this model is equipped with a 2.8t turbocharged engine and a diesel version. This diesel engine has a limit output of 204 HP and a peak torque of 500 Nm, which is especially reassuring at low speed and is very suitable for low-speed off-road. Of course, a diesel engine with a horsepower of more than 200 can also produce good performance at high speed, so this hilux is balanced enough to be very practical as a daily means of transportation and can take you across mountains and rivers as an off-road vehicle.
