Toyota HiLux Rugged X
Toyota HiLux Rugged XWhen it comes to the ultimate mixture of work and play, you can’t go past the Toyota HiLux range. When we here at WTW had the chance to test out the stylish rig that is the New HiLux Rugged X, we jumped at the opportunity! From having a blast on the sand dunes at Stockton Beach, towing* the 45ft, 6man Outrigger Canoe and trailer, to putting in some serious km's on the highway, the performance, handling and stylish, high-quality finish never came into doubt. Unfortunately, we did have to hand the keys back, but only after a few solid adventures that we documented to share with you all.#ToyotaHiLux #HiLuxRuggedX #AwakenYourUnbreakable *Towing capacity is subject to regulatory requirements, towbar and vehicle design and towing equipment limitations
