Toyota Hilux

Sixth-generation Hilux aims to double sales in the UK and take advantage of the growing number of customers who use double-cab pick-up trucks as their only vehicle. The new model offers standard air conditioning, alarm and remote central locking, while the top grade double cabs have rear privacy glass, an in-dash six-CD autochanger and 16-inch alloy wheels. Toyota promises lower running costs than its main rivals, while the only disappointment for now is engine availability - a 101bhp 2.5 turbodiesel. Toyota says it won't be offering more powerful units in the UK at least until the end of 2006.
