Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is 35 years old this August 2023. The country’s top automaker in terms of sales is celebrating this milestone in typically spectacular fashion, ranging from promos on its latest models to its two-day Toyota GAZOO Racing Festival at the Quirino Grandstand. We take a look at five of the Japanese company’s most iconic vehicles since 1988. But why not cars from before this year? The pre-Cory years First, a little history lesson.

Mitsubishi Philippines is now 60 years old in the local automotive market. The Japanese brand is holding a special event at the World Trade Center in Pasay to celebrate the milestone from August 10 to 13.

But there’s a new Ranger Raptor, packing even more goodies than before. Assuming for

If you’re a fan of the Toyota Hilux, then no doubt you’re interested in what the next-generation model will look like. Given that the next Hilux is still around two years away, it’s unlikely that leaks give away any renders or patent images at this time. Chances are, they’re still deciding what design language to go with on such an important project. However, Toyota itself might offer a clue. The Japanese carmaker included a rendering of a pick-up truck in a 2023 patent submission. This could be

Toyota Philippines recently updated the pricing of the Toyota Hilux and the Toyota Corolla Cross. While the Corolla Cross had an overall spec change for the model, the Hilux got a Local Data Communication Module (LDCM) for all of its variants except the J, Cab, and chassis models. The addition of this new feature to the popular Toyota pickup truck got us thinking, what does it do, and how is it beneficial to the vehicle?
