RC Trucks Take on a Full-Sized Toyota Hilux in Brand's Latest Web Series
Auto NewsThere are many ways of showcasing a vehicle’s unique features and capabilities.
More often than not, manufacturers just release promo videos with uplifting music and someone with a sexy voice talking about how great the vehicle is.
What Toyota's UK arm did is that they put together a web series called "Hilux Little and Large” which comprises four videos showing a full-size Toyota Hilux pickup doing some truck stuff while a radio-controlled, 1:10-scale Toyota Hilux from Tamiya also does the same things at a smaller scale.
The highlight is probably the final video in the series titled "Tow," in which we can see the Hilux being put against its mini version on a slalom course.
The best part is that each Hilux has a trailer loaded with a Toyota 86. The RC truck gets to tow an RC car too, and the pickups manoeuvring themselves while pulling a trailer through the course is probably the most entertaining thing you’ll see today.
