Tuned by DTE is this Toyota Hilux 2,8 GD-6 which features some CPU tuning and a freeflow exhaust. We thought it would be a good idea to pair this custom Hilux up against the current bakkie drag race champion; the Volkswagen Amarok 3,0 V6 TDI.

A stage 3 tuned Amarok will do 0-100km in a little over 5 seconds. Most sports hatches would struggle with that
@guillermofernandez3138 3 years ago

interesting, but they will also have to put the Toyota hilux GR V6 stock to compete with a VW Amarok stock I think this would be a fairer race (both diesel or gasoline).

So funny how you need a stage 6 to overtake a Amarok😂

Tuned vs stock? Plugging DTE mos
@rynhardttruter7938 3 years ago

What was the 1/4 time for the Amarok and Hilux respectively?
@duffydon1741 4 years ago

Well, I understand the stance of this race, look at what that Amarok is still doing, stock😳😳 I would like to get your guidance on where I can get an ACTIC 35 look for my Toyota, I already have the huge 17inch wheels, I need the side panels..

That Hilux was over fueling horribly on take off, dumping clouds of black smoke. In that state of tune, that engine ain’t long for this world.

No meu ver talvez seja um vídeo pra promover a Hilux, pois na realidade não existe picape mais rápida que a Amarok v6.

I dont see the point of using a tuned car against a stock car couldn't you use a v6 version of the hilux

I was expecting a vast comparison given the tuned T- Hilux. + 40kw Just goes to show the Amarok is still the by far best vehicle of the two - Amarok no tune necessary, but imagine Rocky with + 40kw....yaaahaaa👍

Even when it's stock, the Hilux is always better than any pick up

Not exactly up to Car's normal standard when testing vehicles. Rookie drivers, poor launches...A bit of a shame that you guys posted this!

Wouldve been good if you guys did a rolling race
@johnyanderson6604 4 years ago

Hilux don't have a V6 Diesel, so that's why they tuned the 4 cylinder of the Hilux to get plus- minus the same KW and Torque as the VW
@johnyjansenvanvuuren1980 3 years ago

lets see how long that Toyota will be reliable with the tune-up.

If it’s not a fast and furious themed edit it’s a 1940’s soap opera edit. Almost there guys -
