Aftermarket modifications are becoming increasingly popular among car enthusiasts these days and this modified Hilux pickup truck shows the reasons why.
Modified_in has come up with an insanely attractive modified version of the Toyota Hilux pickup truck. The Hilux is the latest entrant into the niche lifestyle off-roading space in our market. It is based on the mega-popular Fortuner in terms of powertrains and architecture. Hence, one could be guaranteed of its capabilities to challenge the sole direct competitor in this segment, the Isuzu V-Cross. Let us check out the modifications done on this model.

The road presence of this Hilux has been enhanced a ton. This is achieved using the massive bumper protector in front of the regular bumper, auxiliary headlamps on it, red tow hooks to pull other cars in difficult terrains, increased ground clearance, additional lights on the roof, fog lamps on the bumper. On the sides, the limelight is stolen by the massive black-painted alloy wheels with high-profile tyres and off-roading treads, and massive wheel arches. The tyres come way out of the body for enhanced grip and ride comfort even in the most challenging terrains.

We are not able to see any modifications to the tail section but it looks like the cargo compartment has been covered with a black deck to achieve the black and red colour combination which makes the truck look so muscular and attractive. With lifestyle off-roaders, road presence is one of the key aspects that people desire. The capabilities must not be compromised either. With this modification, the approach angle of the pickup truck has been increased due to the cut-out bumpers. This is a key parameter for off-roading scenarios.
