This Beastly Toyota Hilux GR-S III Will Make Your Mid-Life Crisis Look Epic!

So, Toyota's got a new toy for you wannabe Dakar racers who still need to pick up groceries and haul kids around. Enter the Hilux GR-S III. Yes, it’s a mouthful, but who cares when you’re dominating both the road and your mid-life crisis?

ROARING ONTO THE SCENE: HILUX GR-S III HAS ARRIVED

The Hilux GR-S III rolls in with the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Since 1968, it’s been the unkillable “cockroach” of the automotive world—sturdy, reliable, and now, spiced up with a pinch of Dakar Rally fairy dust.

This bad boy's got it all: enhanced handling, stability, and a design that screams, "Get the hell out of my way!" It’s ready to tackle everything from mud to mall parking lots with an attitude that says, "Yeah, I could climb that mountain, but I’ve got a brunch to get to."

Highlights

• Wider Tread: More confidence on the road, less rolling over like your drunk uncle.

• Enhanced Handling: Because God forbid you spill your coffee.

• 2.8-Liter Turbo Diesel Engine: 165kW and 550Nm of torque—because you clearly need that for the school run.

Exterior Macho-ness

The GR-S III isn't just a pretty face. It's got a stance that could scare off a bear, new 17-inch black alloy wheels, and red brake calipers for that extra "look at me" factor. Plus, a bunch of blacked-out bits and GR logos to remind everyone you’re not driving your average bakkie.

Interior Swagger

Inside, it’s all about that sporty vibe. Black and red everywhere, like you’re driving the lovechild of a race car and a stealth bomber. Paddle controls, a fancy steering wheel, and sport seats that grip you tighter than a toddler in a toy store. Plus, a JBL sound system so you can blast "Eye of the Tiger" while you tackle the school run.

Technical Beef

• Ground Clearance & Approach Angle: So you can take the high road and the low road, simultaneously.

• Better Brakes: Because stopping is kind of important when you’re showing off.

• Suspension Upgrades: Keeps your ride smoother than your pick-up lines.

Price Tag and Perks

All this can be yours for just shy of a million bucks. But hey, it comes with a 9 year/90,000km service plan and a 3-year/100,000km warranty, so that’s pretty sweet.
