It has making been making the Hilux since 1968 and that’s long enough, I’d say, to make it a legend. The Alba foray starts with A roads, switches to motorway, then back to A roads and ends with urban. On the motorway, at the legal limit, it’s a smooth operator and 70mph just happens to be the 2.8 litre diesel engine’s sweet spot. New Hilux gets a very well equipped and comfortable interior as well making long journeys a breeze. The following day is an early rise and 200 mile round trip but I’m not bothered in the slightest because the Hilux is that good to drive.
