A Dakar-inspired look, suspension upgrades and more for Toyota's new pick up 💪
Do your activities and lifestyle"go well beyond the everyday"? Do you need the"ideal vehicle for adventurous journeys and sporting pursuits"? Ah, well then, you need the Toyota Hilux GR Sport, according to the blurb announcing this new pinnacle of the Hilux range. It's been created to mark the success of Gazoo Racing in the Dakar Rally, which is currently underway in Saudi Arabia, an event that the Hilux Dakar won in 2019.
The AN120/130 series Hilux already sports several suspension upgrades from its 2020 facelift, including retuned rear leaf springs and revised suspension bushes. On top of that foundation, the GR Sport adds beefier front coil springs and new monotube damper. These feature larger pistons that are better able to deal with high-frequency undulations as well as reduce larger shocks and body movements; they also boast better heat management and damper-oil longevity.
The GR Sport is double-cab only. It's distinguished outside by a black mesh grille with classic 'TOYOTA' lettering emblazoned across it, instead of the regular car's badge - a retro touch that harks back to the fourth-gen Hilux of the early 80s. There are also larger front fog light surrounds, contrasting black and diamond-turned 17-inch alloy wheels along with more black detailing to the door mirror casings, side steps, wheel-arch surrounds and tailgate handle.
Naturally, there are differentiating elements on the inside as well. These include new sports front seats trimmed in black leather and faux suede, with red perforations, contrasting stitching and 'GR SPORT' branding. That branding is also echoed on the carpet mats, starter button and the driver display.
The 2.8-litre engine remains the same at 204hp and 369 lb ft of torque. It drives through a six-speed automatic transmission and electronic limited-slip diff, and the GR Sport maintains the Hilux's one-tonne payload and ability to tow up to 3.5 tonnes . The new GR Sport trim is scheduled to arrive at dealers by summer 2022.
