The two new models -- Toyota Hilux New Pickup and Toyota Hiace Microbus -- will be available in the market from the next week, company officials said.

The new vehicles are manufactured by IMV (international / innovative multi-purpose vehicle), a project of Toyota.

The aim of the IMV project was to overcome a range of problems, which Toyota faced during its overseas operation for half a century, and to make the brand of world-known standard for multi-purpose vehicles.

The capacity of Toyota Hilux is 11 to 12 kilometers per litre fuel while of Toyota Hiace is eight km per litre, they added.

Do any of you know anyone that own's pickups in Bangladesh? I just thought it would be fun to own a dual cab pickup with all the 4x4 gear (lights, GPS, winch etc).

You could go down to Cox's Bazaar for the 4x4 fun.

They would be good for Police, RAB, NGO's and large companies. Toyota is superior in Bangladesh.
