Toyota Hilux Revo Officially Launched by IMC in Pakistan

[CrashD]

What I'm really interested in to knowing is what are the seats like on a long journey still back breaking or improved?

[ahsontariq]

Well, the longest trip I've driven on the Revo is from Karachi to Kund Malir (250 kms approx) and I found the seats much better than the previous Vigo (indus model). Didn't feel any discomfort or back ache.

Having said that, every one has a different physique while the seat design and structure of Revo is standard, so my experience might differ from other Revo owners' experience.

Mid-April I'll be going on a 4,000+km trip on it and will share my experience once I've completed the KHI-MUL-LHE-ISB-PSH-ISB-Shogran-ISB-LHE-MUL-KHI trip.

Till now I have 4,200 km on the ODO, the fuel average (tank to tank method) is 9.21 km / litre involving over 80% of city driving. Love the features and comfort it offers (considering its a pickup truck with it's inherent limitations).

Although I'm not the racing type, however, HP (power) is one area where Indus can improve it by tuning it appropriately. At it's current stock condition, you sometimes feel wanting more out of it's 3.0 D4D VNTurbo engine.

Good to see this thread come alive again I have booked one and is coming next month INSHA ALLAH
Ur review has risen my enthusiasm even more please share if it's better than vigo in slight cornering and does more than 160 km/ph on stock condition. As I sold a Vigo gx 2016 model to buy a revo cause of the new features and shape
Also in ur pics have u got ur vehicle glass coated or some thing as the shine seems good

[ahsontariq]

Cornering is slightly better than previous Vigo due to better centre of gravity which is attributable to larger rear wheel base as well as uniformity of rear and front wheel base, which was previously larger in front as compared to back. However the tail-spin is an inherent risk in any pickup truck.

Max speed in stock condition with 4 adults and 2 kids that I was able to reach was 158 km/L.

The shine is due to proper DIY cleaning and wax polishing at regular intervals using quality products, inside and outside the vehicle. Invested time in educating the driver on how to use the stuff for cleaning the vehicle.

[salik990]

i booked in late January from Toyota Central, but got the booking date in mid-Feb....delivery will be May or June

[ahsontariq]

Have just added an Aeroklas Gladiator XL size utility box. Will add roof rack, bull bar and deck lid cover soon.

[jaydee]

what would be tyre upgrade recommendations for this car? mostly City/Highway driving, very little offroad, so anything in H/T or A/T would do, and idea is to increase comfort from the stock tires.

[ahsontariq]

Reduce tyre pressure to 27 or 28psi and you'll be good.

which one is better Aeroklass Gladiator XL or Trinity UTE box? I have to add rear roll bar as well

[ahsontariq]

If you're considering adding a rear roll bar then do not go for the box which also opens from the sides ie., Trinity box, like the one I got. Just go for the one which opens from the front-up.

I'd like to make a correction to my post above. The box I got is the Trinity (pic attached) which also opens from the sides. The gladiator just opens from the front. Get the Gladiator one.

[salik990]

I cant find this rear roll bar

[tareen]

If you gentlemen are planning to get body armour from ARB or Ironman at some stage, then do consider comparing it with Open N... Its something of an eye candy as well as bulletproof solid....

are you averaging 9.2 km/L within city by driving alone or with passengers/family? Are u going to get unichip coz i have seen few Revo getting stage 1 unichip wit lil more power but more torque.

[taimurshafai1]

So Toyota finally corrected the rolling issue by reprogramming the VSC and raising the inflation pressure.

[d4diesel]

Guys, any final verdict on getting the Unichip installed or not. I recently got my Revo - crimson red color and have been thinking if I shud chip it or not....
