Hilux gets another special edition
Last year marked the 45th anniversary of South Africa’s most famous bakkie, the Toyota Hilux – the current title-holder of South Africa’s best-selling vehicle. To commemorate this significant milestone, Toyota released the Legend 45, a new and improved version of the iconic Hilux which continues in series production for 2015.
Toyota has now launched a new special edition Hilux in the shape of the Dakar. According to Toyota, it’s a fitting tribute to the rallying prowess of Giniel de Villiers and Dirk von Zitzewitz who pulled off a ‘class win’ and an ‘overall second place’ on the podium at the 2015 Dakar in the Toyota Imperial Hilux.
In keeping with its flagship status, the Hilux Dakar builds on the Legend 45 package, boasting additional aesthetic and cabin enhancements. The Dakar treatment is applied to all Legend 45 models, with 50 percent of Legend production converted to Dakar models to run for a period of three months.
