When it comes to certain specifications and features; no two Toyota Hilux are built exactly alike (much like the veritable snowflake) which can be proven when you zero in among the smallest of details largely exhibited by a Philippine-spec 2022 Toyota Hilux GR Sport 2.8 DSL 4x4 AT and a 2022 Toyota er, Hilux, one that was largely built to accommodate European specifications.
