Rob and Pete take a test drive in the desert sands of Dubai and give their two-cents (plus a bit more!) in this comprehensive review of the 2021 Toyota Hilux Adventure model, badged elsewhere as the Toyota Hilux Revo model.

Joining Sand Sherpa’s fleet of old faithfuls from Land Rover, Ram Trucks, Toyota and others, the Hilux’s were chosen for their versatile pickup design, ease-of-use and suitability for teaching sand driving newbies. Watch to see how they fared in the dunes…
