Looking for more punch from your Hilux? Steve’s Auto Clinic is offering  two new performance upgrades for both the 2.4 GD-6 and 2.8 GD-6 Toyota Hilux derivatives.

The Unichip Plug and Play package can be installed to squeeze the performance of the 2.4 GD-6 from 110kW and 400Nm to a  135kW and 480Nm.

If it’s the Hilux 2.8-litre engine that you would like to enhance, this can be done in two stages.  The first stage will take the 2.8 GD-6 model, which delivers 130 kW and 450 Nm standard and push those figures up to 145kW and 505 Nm. With the “Revolution” chip fitted, this can amplified to 170kW and 575Nm.

 

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
