2024 Toyota Hilux GR Sport first drive: Nothing like the old Hilux GR-S | Top Gear Philippines
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Finally, a true Ford Ranger Raptor contender lands on our shores. The 2024 Toyota Hilux GR Sport has more than just decals and badges giving it street and off-road cred-this is quite a big upgrade over the previous model, which was more GR Sport in name, but not in spirit.
We were able to take it out on a quick drive during the last leg of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Vios Cup 2023, and we guarantee the improvements were apparent over the brief time we had with this Dakar-inspired truck. Click play on the video above for our initial impressions.

I love watching car reviewers who sound humble & who sports a decent haircut like Sir Razon & others
Looks like an Arctic Truck!💪💪💪💪
Please do a Raptor and this Hilux GRS comparison video just like the Ranger Wildtrak vs previous Hilux GRS that you guys did months ago.
before this actual's car arrival there were already these kinds of kits in Evangelista and Banawe. Turning Hilux J and G to almost same, at least aesthetically. in essence, the metal body is same.. just all plastic claddings and mouldings. so it is a no for me. The only thing I crave from the GRS is the rear aircon vents. And i don't understand why on a 1.9m conquest they can't give a vent at the back..

Well to be fair, this GR Sport has a new OE GR high performance suspension. So perhaps that explains the more comfortable ride. They actually did a review of the hilux conquest in their previous videos and I'm pretty sure the boys from Top Gear PH knows what they're talking about.

That 4RAB video is on repeat here, can’t get enough of the vibes, it’s more than just cricket, it’s life 🔄👍
This Hilux GR Sport deserves to have AT LEAST a stock 33" tires (the stock Ranger Raptor had a 32.7")! That would fit perfectly with its oversized fender flares!
Very good video 👌 watching you from Madagascar 🇲🇬 The Hilux GRS just arrived in our market. But because of the Fox Racing shox and the BF Goodrich KO3, the Ranger Raptor is the king of midsize pickups.
Shama saying "don't wait, join now" - felt that, 4RAB’s calling and I’m answering 📞💥
Finch's "abhi" got me fired up, no waiting around, signing up on 4rabat today! 🚀
The interior is just Jurassic tbh. Improved suspension, but with the looks of it, it dips and swings allover the place and whats with that overfender? Was hoping this to be a real contender to the Ford Raptor, atleast they got the engine segment.
it's time for Mitsubishi to have their own to battle out against the GRS and Raptor. too bad.. they thought stickers would cut it

Tapos may mag sasabi pa na all aesthetic lg daw. New GR suspension at may shocks na yung likod, Disk brakes on all fours, 224 Hp at 550 nm torque. Power figures is really close sa lc200 v8 diesel ph spec na 232 hp at 615 nm torque.

This Hilux is a bummer IMO. They facelifted it, they tuned the engine (not a new one btw which was wrongly described here), with a slightly better KYB tuned suspension. Its a Hilux GRS with a better tuning. Period. Let’s be honest Toyota people, while it looks good (aside that it skipped leg day), this is charging too much money for the same thing, almost.

Your review would be more informative if you provided actual details other than using 'new and improved' for the several upgrades. What is the suspension? Ranger uses Fox suspension. It isn't wider because of the tread, it's because of the Axel and chassis, but using spacers. Why is it more powerful? Bigger injectors? Stats you gave all came from a google search.
