Can a CHEAP Toyota Pick-Up beat an £80k SUV OFF-ROAD?

Does Toyota create the very best off-roaders?

It's time for a Toyota off-road head-to-head!

We've got our hands on the brand new Toyota Hilux, and it's going up against the Toyota Land Cruiser in a series of off-road challenges!

The question is, which of these off-road legends will perform the very best? Let's take a more detailed take a look at the stats …

Starting with the Toyota Hilux, it's powered by a 2.8-litre 4-cylinder diesel which produces 204hp and 500Nm. It has a locking rear differential, low- and high-range modes, along with multi-terrain driving alternatives. It weighs in at least 2,175 kg.

As for the Land Cruiser, it's likewise powered by a 2.8-litre 4-cylinder, and the power output is (unsurprisingly) similar, can be found in at 204hp and 500Nm. Nevertheless, while it might have off-road tech and features like the Hilux, not only is it heavier (at 2,335 kg), but it's also only on roadway tires!

So, will it be a tidy sweep for the Hilux offered the tyre choice? Let us know which you 'd pick in the remarks!

    They should retitled any video with Sam in it as “formal protest”

    If you don’t make it fair by sticking to the course and/or rules, what’s the point of doing the comparison video in the first place?! Maybe just eliminate the point system and simply show us how they perform off road.

      And people believe everything they see online! The same Toyota starts at US$ 28,000 in the Philippines.
      People are on their devices all day long. Never really research or ask questions. What they see is what’s the truth. LOL. People 🙄

    If they ever produce The Dictator 2, Mat would be a great candidate to replace Cohen

    “We’re gonna go up these rocky steps, turn around and go back down again”. Said by Mat about the challenge he didn’t go down but decided he still won

    4 wheel independent ABS and Hill Descent is far superior to limiting the control to essentially 2 wheels (Front and rear locked) or front independent with rear locked (seen/controlled as a single unit). That Matt doesn’t know this speaks volumes.

    Mat invented the game, Mat is participating in the game, Mat devised the rules, Mat awards the points, AND Mat won (NOT).😂😂😂

    On today’s Carwow; Mat makes up the rules as he goes. And Sam gets disqualified because Mat makes up the rules as he goes. 😂
