Pickup trucks are popular in the Philippines these days. That’s thanks to their more competitive pricing as a result of the TRAIN law’s excise tax exemption for vehicles with a functional cargo bed. It’s the reason you’ve been seeing a lot of marketing promotions and even new variants for these workhorses.
Toyota Motor Philippines, for instance, introduced early this year a refreshed Hilux version called the Conquest. Obviously, that was to brace for the expected onslaught of new pickup models from the competition (like the Ford Ranger Raptor) and make the Hilux a more enticing proposition. Apparently, the Japanese automaker isn’t content to just offer customers a stock Hilux Conquest. At the last 2018 Vios Cup’s final race weekend held at Clark International Speedway back in September, we saw this Hilux Conquest adorned with various accessories, many of them stamped with the TRD logo. It was visually striking.
We asked a TMP marketing representative to give us a list of the accessories and their prices, but no such list was available at the time. It would take TMP a couple of months to get back to us, and we’d like to share the complete catalog of Hilux accessories you can slap on your truck right now. Have fun shopping.
