The Toyota Hilux Revo Rocco, which is the Hilux
range topper in Thailand, is now also available as a 2.4 litre turbodiesel.
Earlier this year, the Rocco was introduced with the 177 hp/450 Nm 2.8 litre
turbodiesel engine.
The 2.4 litre 2GD-FTV turbodiesel makes 150 hp at
3,400 rpm and 400 Nm of torque from 1,600 and 2,000 rpm. It is paired with a
six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Rocco 2.4L prices start
from 838,000 baht for the Smart Cab, rising to 949,000 for the Double Cab. Add 50,000 baht to those prices for automatic
transmission.
If the Rocco name hints at ruggedness, that’s the
theme Toyota is going for. It sports a grey and gloss black grille, a grey rear
bumper, black wheel arch trims, black 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tyres
with white lettering, a sports bar, bed lining, special Rocco graphics and a
black interior with black metallic trim.
All that is in addition to the recent facelift,
which centres on the a big hexagonal grille inspired by the US-market Toyota
Tacoma truck. The big nose joins a redesigned bumper with an upturned centre
air intake and new fog light surrounds.
