With a starting price of just $73,990 plus on-road costs (around ₱2.7 million), the HiLux GR Sport is not your average pick-up truck or the Hilux GR-S we've come to know, for that matter. Oh no! The Hilux GR Sport is packed with mind-boggling upgrades, including the most powerful diesel engine ever seen in a Hilux, a bee

The Toyota Land Cruiser J70 series has been on the market for 39 years and has steadily received upgrades to keep it up-to-date and modern.

Although most of us won’t take our SUVs and pickups through waist-high floods, it’s always reassuring to know that they can. Ford Philippines is keen to prove this to potential buyers as it heads to SM City Pampanga on Sept. 23-25, 2022, for its third Ford Island Conquest, where it will showcase the 2023 Ford Ranger pick-up and its SUV cousin, the 2023 Ford Everest.
