Kratek Test: Toyota Hilux Double Cab 3.0 D-4D 4×4 AT Executive
Our vehicle testing can be roughly divided into three parts: measurements, photography and everyday use. What we do can be thought of by measurements, the results of photography are also visible, and on the road (and in the field, if necessary), the goal of the car is to get to know it in the way any user would. . However, this part of testing can vary very, very much from machine to machine.
Then Hilux. Can I ride a motorcycle with him? Note but note that the doors on the body must remain open due to the length of the motorcycle, and there is room for at least two enduro cars wide. We just missed a few more hooks.
Can five people go on tour in a Toyota whose namesake ancestor was born in 1968? Tick, but again with a note: all cargo, including backpacks, will be subject to weather inconvenience and possible unpreparedness. So, if there is snow or heavy rain on the way back, you will have to put up with backpacks on your lap; it will also be a problem to leave the cargo (skis, sticks, etc.) at the exhibition in front of the hotel when the company wants pizza and cold hops. The solution to both problems is a cargo cover, but then loading the bike will not work. Another word about comfort in the back seat: there is enough knee room, passengers will only complain about the curvaceous (due to smooth skin and zero lateral support) or bad road (due to massive springs). If you don't tell the gentlemen to the police, let me believe that there were six of us that day on the snowy road from Jelendol to Dolgi Njiwe, and we were driving the farthest. No chains. Car!
Could a seventh generation Hilux with two "facelifts" be an everyday car? Check, again, with a comment: depending on the requirements and needs of the user. But the fact is that there is no point in fearing the length of 5,2 meters, thanks to good visibility and a rear-view camera. Inside, they can be bothered by the look of lesser quality (otherwise durable) plastic, slightly unsightly switches (our fan on Facebook commented that they look like washing machines from the 70s), and the lack of useful storage space. Volkswagen's Amarok and Ford's Ranger are a step forward in this area... Well, there are no serious problems with life behind the wheel of a Hilux. On the contrary, as a person inclined towards adventure and / or peasant / forestry / hunting tasks, he feels good in it. Ata Hunter noted that he was even handsome.
Is the car produced in the amount of 12 million units an SUV? Ugh, yes. Seriously good, if not one of the best in its class. On the pitch, it gives you such a sense of solidity that you can go straight to a desert rally. The only thing missing was the coarser tires ... The range of the trip is not at all critical.
Could Hilux be a truck? Let us use a photograph of a large pile of more or less second-hand clothes being transported to an orphanage in Vicé as evidence. Somewhere they cleaned up an old house: “Hey, do you still have Hilux? There would be something to take ... "
