The Toyota Hilux Champ is billed as Thailand’s new ‘national car’ when it made its global debut in the Kingdom in late November. It makes sense since pick-up trucks are traditionally the country’s best-sellers, but the simplicity of the Hilux Champ makes it a plus point for commercial use in the region. The concept that previewed the Hilux Champ, the IMV 0 was shown in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan following its global unveiling by Toyota chairman Akio Toyoda in Thailand last year. Recen

After showcasing its urban style at this year’s Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week, the Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain is ready to get down and dirty in this year’s Borneo Safari International Off Road Challenge. Three units of the award-winning pick-up trucks are set to perform duties as the official media vehicles. Sabah Four Wheel Drive Association (SFWDA) President Hj Faez Nordin who received the trucks from Isuzu Malaysia’s Marketing Manager Alan Lee thanked Isuzu for their continued support of the week-long

Marketers love to promote pick-up trucks as a versatile, go-anywhere, carry-anything vehicle. While that’s true if you want to carry something like a bicycle or furniture, pick-up trucks are quite terrible at carrying smaller items like a tool box.

With its official market debut set for the end of this year, Ford's been busy teasing the all-new 2022 Ford Ranger. Most of them are well-masked photos of the car, but evidently you can't hide it all from the Internet, as these set of spyshots from Thailand affords you the clearest look of its face yet. Spotted by a Facebook user, #TheNewRanger bares a front-end that's not entirely dissimilar to other trucks in Ford's global stable – namely the hulking Ford F-150 and the Ford Maverick. Also read

All-new 2021 Isuzu D-Max, recently-facelifted Toyota Hilux, and new Mitsubishi Triton - it's a good time to be a pick-up truck buyer in Malaysia as the current crop comprises a healthy mix of all-new and refreshed models. Which, however, would be the right choice? As usual, we'll pit the three range-toppers of each model (D-Max X-Terrain, Hilux Rogue, Triton Athlete) to see which comes out on top. Please note that we left out the Ford Ranger and Nissan Navara out of this comparison for two reaso

Toyota has quietly registered the GR Hilux name in Australia, hinting that the company could be injecting its Gazoo Racing goodness into the Hilux. While Australia is no stranger to high-performance pick-up trucks (much of the Ford Ranger Raptor’s development work was done in Australia), could the GR Hilux find its way to Malaysia? After all, Toyota Malaysia is promoting the Gazoo Racing brand aggressively, which started with the Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) Racing Festival back in 2017. Then there
