specialist vehicle hire brand
Toyota
Toyota's UK commercial range pairs the long-running Hilux pickup with the more recent Proace medium van, which is built on a shared platform with Stellantis-group vans. The Hilux is positioned on reliability and off-road/towing capability rather than outright payload, while the Proace competes as a diesel and electric alternative to the Transit Custom class.
