If You Own A New Hilux, Avoid Sudden Changes Of Direction At All Costs

When conducting the 'Moose Test', Swedish publication Teknikens Värld found out the hard way that the new Toyota Hilux fails. And this isn't the first time, either...

The video above is a demonstration of how the new Hilux copes with swift changes of direction at just 37mph. As you can see, the Hilux almost tips over, echoing the result of an older Hilux back in 2007 (you can see this in the video too). What this shows, is that minimal progress has been made in almost a decade, which is obviously cause for concern. To that end, make sure any sudden changes of direction are avoided, even if you are faced with an angry moose…

is it the TOYOTA a clas?

That moment when you realise your mate has a peanut head and you freak the hell out..

if you don’t want this to happen.. don’t get the 18” and 17” wheels.. as you can see the hilux travels much faster around the obstacle and is indeed a pretty stiff car compared to the others.. but as you can see the tyre flex is the root of the problem.. everybody knows that stock hilux tyres are sheet.. they don’t quite work in rain, neither do in normal or offroad conditions TBH,they are noisy A.F and are prone to flexing.. change for tyres with reinforced sidewalls and sidewall tread and you got the perfect car :P medium-quality should be fine, high quality tyres make this car divine!…

I dont care, still the best selling Pick Up on Argentina and still been the most tough pick up in the market.

a ustedes ya les venden las isuzu, pruebala. La generación anterior era más soberbia en la arena y trochas, no por eso se las veía volcadas por todo sitio. Las hilux veo todos los días sobre gruas bien volcadas

Obviously needs more coilovers.

He’s like a strict teacher telling you how bad your paper is

Everyone here talks about the Hilux, but nobody seems to know about this other Toyota workhorse.

Maybe this is a new ploy by Toyota who knows they will just eventually end up in the hands of ISIL and Al Qaeda, and they want to make them unsafe on purpose.
