Lasting Legacy

The current Hilux platform has been around since 2005, with more than five million units sold worldwide. Since the series was introduced in 1969, some 860 000 Toyota Hilux bakkies have been retailed in South Africa. What does this all mean? Well, it’s popular! It’s also one of the preferred towcars for caravans and trailers. We put the newest version through its towing paces.

Species in the spotlight

Black Harrier – Circus maurus

The black harrier is a raptor species that’s being threatened by habitat destruction, alien vegetation and man. It’s believed that there are only about 1000 to 1500 adult individuals left in the world, and the largest breeding population is in South Africa’s West Coast National Park, thanks to the coastal vegetation preferred by the black harrier, and the high number of rodents, small birds, amphibians and reptiles that make up the bulk of its diet.
