Pickup trucks are highly popular and suitable for off
road driving in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Originally designed as rugged motor vehicles, with an open cargo area in
the rear, pickups have over the years been modified to have an SUV-like stance.
More and more people are buying these vehicles for lifestyle reasons.
Consequently, automobile manufacturers like Toyota have been adding several new
advanced features and technology to their pick up vehicles to
enhance their utility.
Some Toyota Pickups
for Driving in Saudi Arabia
Japanese automaker Toyota offers a
wide range of pickups for the Saudi Arabian market. Here are some of the most
popular models.

Toyota Hilux SC and DC:
Currently in its eighth generation, the Hilux is available in the single cab
and crew cab configurations. Hilux is also available in three variants with
2.0-litre and 2.7-litre petrol engines, and a new more powerful 2.4-litre
diesel engine. While the 2.0-litre is available only in rear-wheel-drive, the
other two engines can be bought in either four-wheel-drive or two-wheel-drive. This
pickup is made of strong tested metal, making it highly safe for driving on all
types of terrain, as well as the KSA roads full of high speed vehicles.
