TOYOTA HILUX GR-SPORT
The Hilux is only South Africa's top selling bakkie. Some would call it the original gangsta (OG), and giving it even more street cred is this GR-Sport (GR-S) derivative. You might already be familiar with Toyota's naming convention, but this model sits just under the Legend RS models, and features some added styling elements, refined handling and a power boost.
Why should you be driving it?
Because as a nation we are image conscious when it comes to what we drive, and the GR-S will help with any insecurities you might have (not that you should have any!). This model makes a statement. The model-specific GR-S grille in high-gloss black, 17-inch alloys, GR logos and decals, as well as the Raider-designed bumpers, black side mirror caps, door handles and side steps, make for a bold and powerful look. The standard 2.8-litre, 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine has had a sneaky upgrade and instead of producing 150kW and 500Nm, the GR-S spits out 165kW and 550 Nm. It is mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission which translates to a smooth drive whether on-or off-road.
Can it go off-road?
Could we call it a Hilux bakkie if it couldn't? I doubt it. But the GR-S does come standard with 4X4 and so can handle just about anything you throw at it. Deflate the perfectly sized 17-inch tyres (for off- and on-road for a bakkie) and you could take on an off-road gymkhana. The extra torque will also go a long way when heading up some rocky inclines... or if you need to get yourself out of a muddy situation.
And what will it cost?
