Overview

The 2023 Toyota Hilux GR Sport offers enhanced on-road stability and a more responsive engine, but these improvements are accompanied by a significant price tag, reduced payload, and a firm ride that may not suit everyone. It’s positioned as the best Hilux in the lineup, with better all-around performance thanks to its wider chassis and tweaked suspension, making it capable on dirt roads while still being dynamic on bitumen

Positives

  • Enhanced Handling: The wider chassis and tweaked suspension provide a sure-footed and dynamic feel on road and dirt roads, improving overall stability.
  • Responsive Engine: The GR Sport’s engine feels more responsive, and the gearbox is more proactive in downshifting to assist braking or holding gears during acceleration.
  • Improved Off-Road Capability: The suspension modifications make it better at handling dirt-riddled back roads, contributing to its status as the best Hilux in the lineup.
  • Trusted and Popular: The Hilux remains a trusted fan favorite with a strong customer base.
