Detailed review of the Toyota Hilux GR Sport, including power increase, price, specs, ride quality, payload issues and more.

Late in its life, the Toyota Hilux has been supplemented with a 2024 GR Sport variant that bumps the 2.8-litre engine power to 165kW and adds a host of aesthetic and mechanical changes to beef up the off-road capability and cosmetic appeal.

But is it enough? And what is the payload concern you must know about if you tow heavy loads?

Rivals to the Hilux GR Sport include the Ford Ranger Wildtrak and Raptor, Volkswagen Amarok PanAmericana, Nissan Navara Warrior, GWM Cannon XSR and others.
