‼️THIS IS THE ALL-NEW 2025 TOYOTA HILUX TAMARAW, AN ULTIMATE WORKHORSE THAT COULD BENEFIT YOU FROM ANYWHERE TO EVERYWHERE.‼️
Maayung adlaw mga Ka-Swabe! Last December 7, 2024, Toyota made a debut in the Philippines of the ultimate workhorse, the all-new Tamaraw (known as the Hilux Champ in Thailand). It was debut in different parts of the country, particularly in the Queen City of the South, Cebu City, and since I was there during that time, I was able to get an opportunity to take a first up-close and personal look to the actual vehicle and it was a heck of a sturdy, quirky, and attractive workhorse that everyone is expected for.
During in the late '80s and in the early '90s, the Tamaraw name made its reputation and well-known to every Filipinos to be one of the most trusted vehicles at all time as the Tamaraw FX. Little did you know that the Tamaraw FX is the predecessor of the Toyota Revo, and now the Toyota Innova. Due to popular demand, the Tamaraw nameplate made its remarkable comeback as a single-cab pickup truck with a different types of body configurations. The Tamaraw is focused on a utilitarian purpose, which may fit for mostly in the business industry likely delivery services, food truck services, emergency van, and all other types.
Despite of that, the Tamaraw gets the Hilux name and it receives a robotic exterior design that caught up every people's attention as they see this truck. For instance, the all-new Tamaraw is based in the Toyota IMV 0 Concept seen last 2023 in Thailand, and rides on a ladder on frame chassis configuration as used from the current Hilux from an IMV platform.
The olny powertrain of the Tamaraw is shared from its IMV brothers (likely the Hilux, the Fortuner, and the Innova), and that is a 2GD-FTV 2.4-liter 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine with Variable Nozzle Turbo making 148 HP and 343 - 400 Nm, which could be paired either a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. Additionally, this truck gets only a RWD drivetrain.
