Race! Toyota Hilux GR Sport vs Hilux Legend 50 - Offroad Shootout

Looking for a used Toyota Hilux in South Africa? We have over 2400 to choose from!
www.cars.co.za/usedcars/Toyot...
The latest Toyota Hilux celebrates 50 years of building what is one of the world's best-selling pick-ups, or bakkies as we prefer to call them. The Legend 50 is kind of at the top of the bakkie food chain in SA, at least for Toyota. Except, as of recently, it isn't.
Introducing...the Gazoo Racing Hilux. It costs R50 000 more than the Legend 50 but it has exactly the same engine with the same power. However, because it's an auto, there's a bit more torque - 30Nm more. Oddly though the Hilux GR Sport is only available with an automatic gearbox.
The GR Sport has smaller wheels and rims all round and for improved handling an all-new front suspension setup, developed by Gazoo Racing, has been fitted.
Only 600 of these will be made, and near the gear lever a special numbered plate reminds you which one of this limited edition you own. But most importantly it has lots of racing stripes, which means it must be faster than the standard Hilux, right?
And so the good people at the Tygerberg raceway let us set up our own racetrack on the property. With a mix of gravel and tarmac, and some fast and tight corners, it was time for a hot lap shootout.
Watch a Toyota take on a Toyota in this very special offload track shootout.

This guy never disappoints with his reviews, the fact that he can make bakkies dance just puts him in a league of his own.

[@PerformanceWithPage]

Thanks Mpiti! Appreciate that bro!

[@TopNiceCars]

I would go for the Legend 50 any day. The GR Colours for me are just off point for a buckie. Anyways Team GR you are doing a great job on the SACCS. The past weekend was epic in Lichtenburg alongside Fernando Alonso..

[@JawidSmart]

I don't like the GR version. But I must say your video brings a lot of adrenaline. Especially the scene at 2:25 for example. Good camera work! I subbed!

[@Marechalkev327]

You really have to be a huge Toyota fan to buy into this GR. Imo it's half an effort to expand your premium bakkie range.

Two seconds faster is not worth the price difference between the two cars.

Two seconds could make a difference when you are drag racing that arrogant Golf GTI at the traffic lights.

No you are right that 2 seconds is yust the auto and manual shift time differince not the race

[@Chif_GT]

Wondering how the results would be if the Legend was in auto model.

[@howardkerr8174]

That's what I was wondering. But I imagine the bakkie with smaller wheel has gearing that is different too, so it is not just the automatic transmission that made the difference.

[@salomekahirimana3736]

[@JancoLeRoux]

Also what I was thinking.....Surely if you dont have to focus on the gearing you will be a bit faster.

*rant mode on* Best Hilux ever? I think that crown still belongs to the old base model 2.4 diesel. GR Hilux should have the 3UZ motor in it. Tired of these silly things manufacturers do to their vehicles,AMG package on a C180? Msport on a 320i? Dakar stickers on a standard Hilux. Waiting to see when they put XR6 stickers on a Figo. *rant mode off*

@@YusufGinnah in case you have forgotten the vivo name plate is just a way of prolonging sales of wat is otherwise a long in the tooth stripped out design

[@YusufGinnah]

@@njabulogodfrey2039 Now you've wandered into a whole new discussion. The only reason that VW has the Vivo, Toyota has the Quest, Ford has the Figo and so on and so forth is because of the way the South African vehicle market is designed. If you do the homework, South Africa is one of the the most expensive places in the world to buy a brand new car, due to monopolising of the industry by a single company, but that's a different discussion altogether. Affordability is why these model options exist. Majority of the car buying public would rather buy yesterday's average car as today's entry-level car rather than an actual present-day entry-level car. Example: The current Polo Vivo occupies the price point that belongs to the VW Up! Now your argument is don't give the customer the choice, if he's got Up! money then that's that... Well ask any guy with a family to lug around which car he'd prefer over these and you'd have your answer. Simple economics is why they exist. Supply and Demand still run the world.
