Toyota Hilux recovery and towing

The Hilux, from older Vigo models to the current Revo, Rocco and GR-S, is Pakistan's best-known pickup, used for business, agriculture, security and adventure. Most current double-cab versions are diesel 4x4s. Hilux 4x4s are recovered on a flatbed to protect the transfer case and drivetrain, as are all automatics. Older manual 4x2 single cabs are rear-wheel drive and can be rear-wheel lifted with the load bed empty.
