Toyota Hilux or Vigo, which is better?

The Toyota Hilux (previously Stout in 1969) is a series of compact pickup trucks produced and marketed by the Toyota Motor Corporation. Thailand is where Hilux models are built and assembled for markets in European, Australian and Asian. The vehicle is then called 'Hilux Vigo', or simply 'Vigo'. So in other word, Toyota Hilux and Toyota Vigo is actually the same. Many customer mistaken that the two were different but in fact, they are the same. In Africa, it was the best selling vehicle as of december 2009, and are made in Argentina.



Hilux Vigo is the seventh generation of the Hilux series and had been throught some major facelift. In Malaysia, it only offer 2.5L and come in single cab and double cab.
For double cab version, the transmission come in either auto or manual transmission. The Innova MPV and the Fortuner SUV/PPV Hilux Vigo was spawned under Toyota's IMV program which used Hilux Vigo as basis.



As we can see, the Toyota Hilux Vigo is almost like an amphibian vehicle. It can cross streams, climb hills, drive in mud, desert and not to mention urban road.
