Early this year, Toyota reintroduced its vaunted pick-up model, the Toyota Hilux rebranding it with a second name, Conquest. Agreeably, Conquest is a good name for a vehicle that claims to be able to ride any surface and carry as much load as you can give it.

The Hilux Conquest boasts of best in class features starting with its engine, a 2.4 liter 4-cylinder, 16-Valve DOHC Variable Nozzle Turbo with a front mounted intercooler. This design gives it optimum performance for any form of off-road activity.

The face of the Conquest is easily recognizable with its hexagonal grille mounted between new LED projector headlights accentuated with Daytime Running lights.
