Toyota Hilux (RN20)
The second-generation Hilux established the model's global reputation for toughness. Sold as the Datsun competitor in export markets, its simple leaf-spring suspension, available 1.6-litre SOHC engine, and basic but robust construction gave it an exceptional reputation for rural and commercial use across developing nations.
