2024<\/strong>\u00a0Toyota Hilux Champ Is An Impressively Cheap Truck<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Tired of reading about luxury trucks that cost nearly six figures? Toyota has a refreshingly cheap pickup now on sale in Thailand. It’s called the Hilux Champ and it’s essentially a production version of the IMV 0 concept we saw at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show. It starts at a gloriously low 459,000 baht, which works out to $13,070 or \u20ac11,930 at current exchange rates. Even the most expensive configuration only costs 577,000 baht ($16,430 or \u20ac15,000).<\/p>\n Paint options are limited to white, silver, or grey, but you can still pick from several body styles. The utilitarian vehicle can be transformed into an RV, a food truck, a medical van (with a refrigerator), or a camper with a roof-mounted tent. Depending on what you want, these conversions cost from 80,000 baht (about $2,300) for the van to as much as 2,000,000 baht ($57,000) for the RV.<\/p>\n Toyota Thailand will sell the Hilux Champ in eight different trim levels including short and long wheelbase lengths, and a spartan variant without a bed. Power comes from 2.0- and 2.7-liter gas engines and a 2.4-liter diesel, with the output routed to the wheels via a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic.<\/p>\n As for weight, the long-wheelbase model with a bed and the diesel tips the scales at 6,150 pounds (2,790 kilograms). And this truck is only 208.6 inches (5300 millimeters) long, 70.2 in (1785 mm) wide, and 68.3 in (1735 mm) tall, with a wheelbase of 121.4 in (3085 mm). With the diesel engine, the two-seat Hilux Champ it has a maximum payload capacity of 2,204 pounds (1,000 kilograms). The truck is made locally at the Samrong Plant, and Toyota says it has over 100 compatible accessories.<\/p>\n 2024 Toyota Hilux Champ <\/h3>\n
