The teaser doesn’t reveal much but looking at it there’s no mistaking that Toyota will introduce the facelifted Hilux and the facelifted Fortuner.
This news may confirm that our wild guess is right in saying that Toyota Motor Philippines will digitally launch the new Hilux on June 15. Only this time, it should be with its SUV twin, the Fortuner.
