The Tamiya Hilux 58397 brings the Toyota Hilux into a 1/10 scale kit that combines a ladder-frame chassis with a realistic shaft-driven 4WD. The model is targeted at builders who value scale accuracy and mechanical function.
The 3-speed transmission offers distinct low, mid and top gear ratios for crawling, trail pacing and quicker driving, while metal components like the front guard and aluminium friction dampers add realism and strength.
Oversized tyres increase ground clearance and help the model tackle uneven ground, while the resin body and metal-plated roll bar and bumpers create a convincing scale silhouette.
Small touches, such as the included surfboard accessory, give scope for personalising the truck to match display or trail scenes and reflect the Hilux lifestyle.
The Tamiya Hilux 58397 suits scale hobbyists who want a realistic, buildable truck with genuine off-road capability. It is well suited to display or active trail use after fitting electronics.
