STORY

The Hilux Dakar is the rally-raid racing version of Toyota's pickup, campaigned in the Dakar Rally by Toyota Gazoo Racing and partners such as Hallspeed/Overdrive. Progressively developed from V8-powered two-wheel-drive machines to T1+ four-wheel-drive designs, it delivered Toyota's first outright Dakar victory in 2019 with Nasser Al-Attiyah. It remains a front-running contender in the cross-country world.
