The Toyota Hilux is a no-nonsense pick-up that blends worksite toughness with proper off-road ability, built to shrug off punishment and keep going long after fancier rivals give up. It won’t win any beauty contests, but buyers who want a practical, rugged truck that simply gets the job done will appreciate its honest, hard-working character.
