The Toyota Hilux, particularly in its Revo and GR-S trims, is powered by the legendary 2.8-liter 1GD-FTV turbo-diesel engine. This powerplant is specifically engineered to deliver high torque at low RPMs, making it ideal for heavy-duty towing and technical off-roading across Pakistan’s diverse landscapes. The engine features a Variable Nozzle Turbocharger (VNT) and a Common Rail Fuel Injection system that together maximize combustion efficiency, providing both raw power and surprisingly refined fuel economy for a vehicle of this size.
To complement this power, the Hilux utilizes a part-time 4WD system with an electronic transfer switch, allowing drivers to move between 2WD and 4WD on the fly. The inclusion of a Rear Differential Lock and Active Traction Control (A-TRC) ensures that power is always sent to the wheels with the most grip, whether you are climbing steep mountain passes or navigating muddy rural tracks. The 6-speed automatic transmission offers smooth transitions, while the Sequential Shiftmatic mode gives the driver manual-like control for better engine braking.
