Toyota puts together an epic road trip through three countries so we can evaluate two Hilux special editions: the Legend 50 and GR Sport
Celebrating five decades at the top of the food chain, Toyota is releasing two very special new models to up the game once again.
The Legend 50 replaces all new Raider models at the top end of the Hilux hierarchy, offering improved interior tech, high spec levels and a host of cosmetic changes. The Legend 50 will also be the last in a line of ‘Legend’ models named after their anniversary every five years since the Legend 35.
Even more special, a new, very limited edition GR Sport model improves the breed even further ith upgraded suspension designed for high-speed off-road driving, harking back to Toyota’s recent Dakar win.
GR SPORT
As Toyota smashes more sales records, selling 4 770 bakkies in June, and a similar number most other months, they have released a new model right at the top of the Hilux pyramid. The GR Sport double cab is a limited run of only 600 units built locally in Prospecton for our market.
