If you want a vehicle that's tough and pretty unstoppable for work as well as private use, then it's hard to think of a better place to start your search than with Toyota's Hilux pickup. This is, after all, the vehicle Jeremy Clarkson and Top Gear drowned, threw from the top of a tower block and still drove home. It was the first vehicle to be driven to both North and South Poles. It is, in short, for everyone from suburban builders to Libyan freedom fighters, a pick-up trusted the world over to get the job done.
It's been hugely successful for Toyota across six generations dating all the way back to 1972, well over 12 million sales worldwide across 164 different countries making it the brand's second most successful model of all time. But the Hilux has never ruled the UK pick-up market, something the brand aimed to put right when the sixth generation version was launched here back in 2005. Early versions of this model were handicapped by feebly-powered engines but after the MK6 model's original launch, the Japanese maker upped the ante under the bonnet. And, at the end of 2011, the brand smartened up the packaging a little to help this pick-up compete with a revised version of its closest rival Nissan's Navara, as well as with all-new pick-ups from Ford, Mazda and Volkswagen.
Of course, the changes to this revised model were more than skin-deep. That sleeker front end concealed a far more competitive range of Euro5-compatible diesel engines claiming class-leading CO2 emissions. Add these (and a dash of hi-tech equipment) to the Hilux's established virtues - unsurpassed off road ability, practical loading capacities and a car-like interior - and the result, it was claimed, would be a package that'd be tough to beat. This model sold until a new seventh generation Hilux design was launched in 2016.
