It doesn't get any more extreme than Rainbow Ski Area. Deep in the kiwi backcountry in the harsh alpine environment, this setting is brutal on vehicles. Hot and dusty in the summer with razor sharp rocks everywhere, freezing cold and icy in the winter. They need utes that can live up to the hype and perform consistently. They choose the Toyota Hilux and the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 as their staples of the fleet for very good reason. 

Legendary toughness, enhanced efficiency

With a lineup now featuring a groundbreaking 48-volt hybrid system alongside the powerful 2.8-litre turbo-diesel engine, and sharp exterior detailing, the bond remains unbroken in the lineage of the Mighty Hilux.
Adventure Racing legend and our very own tame Hilux tester, Nathan Fa'avae leads a very adventurous life. He needs gear that can not only keep up, but perform in the toughest of environments and step up when it's really needed. We talked to him about surviving and thriving in the great outdoors, and what the new Toyota Hilux Hybrid offers.
