The New Hilux is a Cyclist’s Dream Bakkie

When the road to the ride gets rough, the right vehicle matters.

The best rides seldom start and finish at home. They begin with a bike in the load bay, a route that takes you beyond the city, and the possibility that the road to get there won’t always be smooth. That’s where the new Toyota Hilux fits in.

Built to handle any road South Africa can throw at you, the Hilux is suited to cyclists who regularly head far off the beaten track. Getting to a mountain bike trailhead, a far-off gravel race… You’ll love the journey there (and back) in the Hilux.

Ready for the ride

A cycling trip often means carrying more than just a bike, or bikes. There’s everyone’s helmets, shoes, tools, maybe even camping gear. The Hilux gives you the space to take it all with you, and its off-road capability means you can choose that dirt-road detour past all the best farm stalls.

Safety also matters when you’re driving long distances with bikes on board. Toyota Safety Sense 3*, with features like Blind Spot Monitor*, adds another layer of support on the road.

Enjoy the journey

Early mornings, long stints on the highway – it’s all part of the fun. The redesigned interior of the Hilux makes those hours behind the wheel so much more comfortable, with twin displays and a wireless charger* for your phone.

Take that gravel route, find a new trail, or drive a little further to explore somewhere different. The new Hilux is built for adventure. For cyclists, it’s a vehicle that makes sense beyond the daily commute: practical for carrying gear, capable when the road gets rough and comfortable enough for the kilometres in between.
