Like the Top Gear reference at the beginning

The Hilux was the one that went to North Pole and back. Would love to see a comparison between this and the Isuzu.

I'm just under six feet tall....that signature dialogue though 🤣

Nikhil is one of the finest auto journalist and his reviews are simple and enjoyable to watch.

Saw this at the Toyota showroom today, it looks fabulous even in white colour, with a little modification this thing will look like a pure beast. ( Blacked out Hilux with red led floor lights )

0:06 Nice Jeremy Clarkson style with the "some say" introduction. God, I miss the Top Gear show with the legendary trio.

[nsubramanya]

I do own a Vcross since 6 years and its a beast. I can understand the view points of those who drive SUV s and Premium vehicles. On the highways its a performer. And always a head turner.

As someone who’s habituated to a car from 2013, this feels awesome, particularly the touchscreen. Remember it’s about functionality not bling like Hyundai

As a pickup truck it's seriously not bad but just as said, it's a commitment!

[sensingpsychic]

To understand what Toyota Hilux is capable of, watch Top Gear "Killing a Toyota" series and WhistlinDiesel Hilux Durability test
Though I doubt the same high quality vehicle is launched here

[cuckoonut]

In India "Pick up" truck means pic up everything in the open flatbed and GO! If there's one country that can challenge the mighty Hilux's reputation, it will be India.

[FatterHomer]

So happy to see manufacturers offering puckups in India. Finally ! I just hope people consider these vehicles as their everyday drives !

[Allanfrancisxavier]

That intro was straight out of top gear.

[FORTUNE.TELLER]

Bhutan has this in each corner. It's good but parts, milage and comfort is not appreciated

[masumchoudhury]

Came here to comment on top gear reference but a guy already did that it wonderful to see more top gear fans here that show was perfect it was not just about cars

[aswinr]

For the money for the top spec hilux in india u can get the top of the range hilux gr sports or the land cruiser 79 series in😅 aussie and new zealand! The money difference is crazy!!

[soumy]

The OG Top Gear couldn't destroy it...
It went to the North Pole and back...
It's the Batman of cars...

[neerajgaur]

These vehicles are meant to last 25- 30 years. The current traffic rules dont allow to run a vehicle beyond 15 years. Its a shame. We must push for lifetime registration on vehicles.

[shizenjapan]

I was going to buy one of these last year, but then decided on the Land Cruiser instead. The Hilux is a very good truck though.

[himalayanknight]

It is just a simple truck that can take you from point A to B for many years without giving much problem. That is what Toyota is for. Comparing with Toyota suv- The suv is much more better than pick up. The hilux is a work horse. Because of the leaf spring on the back pick up trucks are not comfortable at all. The Toyota Tacoma and Tundra are really good in terms of pick up. They are really luxury and have sunroofs and so many other features but we dont get those models in asia.
