Finally, a true Ford Ranger Raptor contender lands on our shores. The 2024 Toyota Hilux GR Sport has more than just decals and badges giving it street and off-road cred—this is quite a big upgrade over the previous model, which was more GR Sport in name, but not in spirit.

We were able to take it out on a quick drive during the last leg of the Toyota Gazoo Racing Vios Cup 2023, and we guarantee the improvements were apparent over the brief time we had with this Dakar-inspired truck. Click play on the video above for our initial impressions.
