The body side almost retains the familiar design, but still stands out with the largest ground clearance in the segment, up to 286 mm, helping the car easily overcome difficult terrains. The rims are painted entirely black, creating a 5-double-spoke design with a size of 17 inches, combined with 265/65R17 tires, bringing a robust and powerful appearance. Chrome-plated rearview mirrors integrate turn signals and power adjustment features, door handles are also chrome-plated, adding modernity and sophistication to the car.

This model uses a hydraulic power steering system, so the steering feel in the city may not be as light as when traveling on highways. With a 147-horsepower engine, the Toyota Hilux 2020 offers a just-enough driving experience, not too impressive in terms of acceleration. This is also understandable because this pickup truck from Toyota has an unladen weight of 1,940 kg and a full load capacity of 2,810 kg. However, the Hilux 2020 still well meets the needs of cargo transportation, wading, and off-roading thanks to its high ground clearance.

The biggest plus of the Hilux 2020 is owning many safe driving assistance technologies, bringing peace of mind to users.
