Toyota HILUX D/C V6 4-litre Doublecab Manual. is the idea of having four litre V6 power – 175 kW and 343 Nm torque under the hood gives you the heebie geebies when you go to the suction side?

Our test route took us from Cape Town, up Sir Lowry Pass, Caledon and along the roller coaster ride Swellendam, Heidelberg and riversdale. This route is some 300 km one way, or 700 km for a return trip.

Towing without the need for a zillion gearchanges meant there was significantly less stress in relation to a smaller engined car and the most important thing we noticed was that we had any back stress. In fact the country was looking rather to = we trøde that we could do this route again, just for fun of it. We had three adults in the car, and in view of the fact that it is a 4 × 4 vehicle
