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. Moreover, when spot-checked from a certain angle, both these two aforementioned Hiluxs rather appear like two peas in a po

When Toyota Motor Philippines unveiled the new Toyota Veloz as a new nameplate, Filipinos were expecting that aside from the aesthetics, the manufacturer would also take a step in upgrading its powertrain system and that it would somehow be more powerful than the Toyota Avanza. Then, Veloz came with almost the same components as the Avanza. What makes up Toyota Veloz’s powertrain system?
