With the remaining 30%, do as you wish
Toyota surprised with the price of the Toyota Hilux Champ – pickup truck the cost of the basic version was only 13 thousand dollars, and in the top version for 16.5 thousand dollars – and a powerful engine, and even an automatic transmission. Attraction of unheard of generosity?
Not really. As Jurachart Jongusuk, chief engineer of the Toyota IMV platform, explained to Road & Track, Toyota Hilux Champ is delivered to the customer «70 percent ready». True, we are not talking about self-assembly, screwing on wheels, installing seats, etc. It’s just that in this way, Jurachart Yongusuk wanted to emphasize that the customer receives an exclusively bare chassis with nothing on it. Previously, Toyota demonstrated many different options that can be built on the basis of the Toyota Hilux Champ – ambulance, food truck, camper – but the new owner will have to pay for all this on his own and order from other companies. That is, the final cost of even a basic car will be under 20 thousand dollars, if at least some kind of add-on is needed.
For this reason, the Toyota Hilux Champ cargo bed has special holes for bolts – so that customers can attach whatever they want. And Toyota Motor Thailand itself is ready to provide the owner with the addresses of more than 100 companies that will design, create and install the required add-on.
