Mighty Car Mods turns a Toyota Hilux into a tough‑as‑nails sleeper

The Aussie YouTube duo has added turbo power to a plain‑looking Toyota Hilux, making it a hidden beast that can shred tyres on a Sunday drive.

The Toyota Hilux has long been known in South Africa as a “work bakkie” – a rugged, utilitarian truck that’s built to last. But Mighty Car Mods took the third‑generation model one step further. After picking up a Hilux online, the Australian videosmiths blew up its performance with a turbocharger and other mods, all while keeping the truck’s exterior looking ordinary.

The result is a sleeper: the Hilux looks like any other work van on the road, but under the hood it’s a pedal‑to‑the‑metal monster capable of tearing the tread off a tyre in seconds. Mighty Car Mods’ viewers can see the upgrade in their latest video, complete with a breath‑taking test drive.

The Toyota Hilux may be a workhorse, but with Mighty Car Mods it’s also a true street‑legal rock‑star.
