The double cab design offers spacious seating for five, while a comfortable and well-appointed cabin provides ample legroom and headroom for long journeys. Safety is at the core of its design, with driver and passenger airbags (including driver knee airbags), anti-lock braking system (ABS) for better control in all conditions, and easy-to-engage off-road features like differential lock and 4LO mode. These attributes make the Hilux a dependable partner, whether you are navigating city roads or venturing off the beaten path.

This handover also aligns with the spirit of resilience among Kenyan that is both embodied by the Hilux and exemplified in Ferdinand Omanyala. Whether it is a small-scale entrepreneur transporting goods or an athlete chasing glory on the world stage, the Hilux remains a trusted companion for those who dare to dream big.

“Driving the Hilux has been a game-changer for me. It’s more than just a vehicle it gives me the freedom to move, to perform, and to represent Kenya with confidence,” Omanyala shared during the ceremony. “I’m excited to continue this journey with Toyota by CFAO, and I look forward to unleashing even more milestones together.”
