Pros and cons
What’s good
- The king of county exploration: Absolute benchmark for executive prestige, county government transport, and upcountry tours.
- 500 Nm 2.8L GD-6 diesel torque: 201 hp facelift engine delivers effortless high-altitude overtaking up the Rift Valley.
- KDSS Kinetic Dynamic Suspension: Hydraulic sway bar system eliminates body roll on tarmac while maximizing off-road articulation.
- Optional 150 L dual fuel tank capacity: 87L main + 63L sub-tank allows 1,500+ km long-distance cruising without refueling.
- Indestructible ladder-frame chassis: Proven Hilux underpinnings survive heavy off-road abuse and rough murram tracks.
- Sub-2,500 cc duty advantage on 2.4L GD-6: Qualifies for KRA's lower 25% excise tax bracket.
- High 225 mm ground clearance: Easily clears flooded river crossings, deep ruts, and high speed bumps.
- Massive 7-seat versatility: Side-folding 3rd-row seats create a huge 716 L flat cargo floor.
- Sub-2,500 cc import duty tax bracket advantage.
- Super Select II 4WD system allowing full-time 4WD (4H) on dry tarmac.
- 8-speed automatic keeping 430 Nm engine in optimal power band.
What’s not so good
- 2.7L Petrol engine feels sluggish when fully loaded: 163 hp 2TR-FE labors when ascending steep mountain passes with 7 passengers.
- High theft target for exterior side mirrors and spare wheel covers: Requires security etching in urban Nairobi parking lots.
- Firm rear leaf/coil suspension ride when unladen: Stiff ride quality over corrugated gravel when carrying no passengers.
- Side-folding third-row seats: Take up lateral cargo space compared to fold-flat floor designs.
- Firm rear suspension feel when unladen.
- 3rd row legroom best suited for children.
