Curator’s note
The Hilux GR Sport is a sportier take on Toyota’s long-running pick-up, styled after the Gazoo Racing Hilux that competes in the Dakar Rally. It uses the 204 PS version of the 2.8-litre diesel and keeps full off-road hardware.
The story
Toyota Gazoo Racing has won the Dakar Rally with the Hilux, and the GR Sport brings some of that image to the road car with its own grille, trim and chassis tuning.
Under the styling it remains a Hilux, with a ladder frame, low-range gearbox and a locking rear differential.
