    Groundbreaking Toyota Hilux Champ Defies Norms with 20% Price Drop Breaking Barriers

    Furthermore, it was inducted into the Hall of Fame on the British public broadcaster BBC’s car show Top Gear, where it was praised for its sturdiness that withstood extreme challenges such as being dropped from the roof of a building. , and in the same program, another Hilux reached the North Pole, Toyota Motor Corporation’s venerable pickup truck that has been active all over the world. The first model debuted in 1968, and has a history of more than 50 years.

    Under 2 million yen! New model “Hilux Champ” with a good sense of discretion

    Toyota, a global automotive giant, has officially introduced its latest model, the “Hilux Champ,” signaling a return to the roots of its renowned pickup truck line. The Hilux, a fixture in the automotive world for over 50 years, has made its mark in pop culture, from its appearance in the 1985 movie “Back to the Future” to enduring extreme challenges on BBC’s Top Gear.

    In recent years, the Hilux has seen a transformation, incorporating more comfort features and higher-quality interiors, leading to a significant increase in price. Toyota’s response to this trend is the Hilux Champ, designed to cater to customers looking for a more basic and affordable option. This new model, unveiled at the “Thailand Motor Expo” in Bangkok, is not a successor to the existing Hilux Revo but will be sold alongside it as a distinct offering.

    One of the key highlights of the Hilux Champ is its pricing strategy. In Thailand, where it is manufactured, the Hilux Revo standard model starts at 564,000 baht (approximately 2.3 million yen), while the Hilux Champ comes in at a more budget-friendly 459,000 baht (approximately 1.88 million yen), a nearly 20% reduction in price. The move aims to make the Hilux accessible to a broader range of consumers.

    During an on-site inspection by automotive journalist Takahiro Kudo, the Hilux Champ’s classic design immediately caught attention. Departing from the modern aesthetics of the Hilux Revo, the Champ exudes a timeless charm with its almost flat windshield and straightforward exterior panels. The grille design, resembling Lego blocks, adds a touch of casual familiarity.

    Inside the Hilux Champ, cost-cutting measures are evident. The door trim, largely crafted from a single piece of resin, and the fixed passenger seat without adjustments reflect the vehicle’s commitment to simplicity. Notably, the air conditioning system, designed for practicality, lacks the option to switch the cold air outlet—a decision made to further streamline costs.

    The Hilux Champ caters to a specific market, acknowledging that some customers prioritize affordability over luxury. The model’s unveiling also showcased a racing version with a full bucket seat, appealing to the popular pickup truck racing scene in Thailand.

    Toyota’s Hilux Champ is not just a new addition to its lineup; it represents a strategic move to address diverse consumer needs by offering a budget-friendly, back-to-basics commercial vehicle option with a touch of classic appeal.

    Suzuki “Jimny” equipped with a rugged ladder is cool! What is the black customization item for the Osha exterior?

    “Suzuki “”Jimny”” with a big ladder is cool! Black Customized Items for Osha Exterior

    A custom “”Jimny”” car that’s a great combination of function and design!
     After undergoing its first full model change in 20 years in 2018, the Suzuki Jimny/Jimny Sierra remains highly popular as of 2022.
     
     While unique Jimny customs from various brands can be seen at custom and outdoor-themed events, there are also items that can be customized to look rugged and wild.

    Just by attaching a black ladder, you can make it “”stylish exterior””! See Jimny Custom in real car!

    Just by adding a steel ladder item, it becomes a stylish exterior! Suzuki’s “”Jimny/Jimny Sierra”” has been customized in an amazing way!

     The Jimny series is a popular vehicle not only in Japan but around the world due to its ladder frame construction and high performance on rough roads.

     On the other hand, campers are mainly based on conventional trucks and, more recently, commercial vans, minivans, and mini high wagons.

     Therefore, when it comes to living space, the Jimny is for solo campers.

     The brand SPIELER of WACHSTUM, which specializes in metalworking, has set up items for the Jimny with an awareness of its ruggedness.

     The SPIELER lineup includes a roof rack, rear ladder, and rear step made of steel and a differential cover made of steel for the Jimny and Jimny Sierra.

     The 1.2mm-thick roof rack is designed to be low, approximately 30cm from the roof, yet strong enough for a person to ride on.

     The lineup also includes a rear ladder as an item that increases the presence of the Jimny/Jimny Sierra seen from the rear.

     The upper two sections are made of round pipe for easy holding, and the lower three sections are made of square pipe for easy hanging of the legs.

     The rear ladder is also equipped with a rear step in consideration of the fact that it is difficult for children and women to get in and out of the ladder.

     The 3.2 mm-thick rear step is installed under the bumper so that it does not get in the way during daily use.

     The front and rear differential covers, made of steel and with a thickness of 4.5 mm, are installed at the lowest point of the body of the Jimny/Jimny Sierra and cover the parts of the vehicle that are prone to bumping into obstacles.

     Mr. Shoaki Tamaoka of WACHSTUM explains about these items as follows: “”The roof rack is a bolt-on item.

    The roof rack can be bolted on and can also be made into a flat type, which is common in other countries.

     The material used for the roof rack is sturdy like that used for guns, so it will not break even if several people are riding on it.

     We chose red for the rear differential cover so that it would be a color complement to the car.

     In the past, we used to offer orange and other colors, but due to the current climate, it has become a little difficult to offer a wide variety of colors.

     In addition to the visual items, steel drink holders are also available to accentuate the interior.

     The drink holder can be bolted on under the air vent and is designed not to interfere with the air vent or window,”” says Mr. Tamaoka.

    * * *

     Mr. Tamaoka commented on the response to these items for Jimny and Jimny Sierra.

    Not only do people enjoy camping, but many people who have purchased a Jimny often purchase our products because they feel that “”this isn’t enough…””.

     We recently started this kind of custom store with our brothers, and we have already received a gratifying response from many people.””
