If You Own A New Hilux, Avoid Sudden Changes Of Direction At All Costs
When conducting the 'Moose Test', Swedish publication Teknikens Värld found out the hard way that the new Toyota Hilux fails. And this isn't the first time, either...
The video above is a demonstration of how the new Hilux copes with swift changes of direction at just 37mph. As you can see, the Hilux almost tips over, echoing the result of an older Hilux back in 2007 (you can see this in the video too). What this shows, is that minimal progress has been made in almost a decade, which is obviously cause for concern. To that end, make sure any sudden changes of direction are avoided, even if you are faced with an angry moose…

Pretty irrelevant test because your not supposed to swerve to dodge an animal crossing.
that’s also the case here in belgium, but then again we dont have giant 500kg mutant horses crossing the road. its called moose test for a reason.
It’s just a name of the test, but it shows how car behaves in dangerous situations, are you not supposed to swerve when a kid runs in front of your car? or someone pulls out of the sideroad?
Thats not an excuse if the other vehicles in the class can handle the moose test just fine.
I bring you the new TRD Hilux, now with a rear stabiliser bar

Thats why I laugh when they say that a Porsche Cayman or 911 is less safe than a 4x4
At least not in the hands of a good driver
