The front is black, the laminated bumper is chrome, and it also has black plastic side covers, making the current Hilux travel 40 years into the past (yes, more than 40 years have passed since the 80s).
To show the versatility of customization, Axell Auto created options with the suspension lowered and also raised, including also an option with a full chrome front end. that allows to show off the full LED headlights better, adding, various camping accessories.
In the back we have on the cargo box a fiberglass hood with windows, tilting rear windows and the classic Toyota typography in the back. Off-road tires are obviously part of the game, as are a beefed-up suspension and 4×4 drive.
