Even though it might not be as good as the EcoBoost-powered Ford Ranger Raptor, Toyota says the GR Sport II is the "best-driving Hilux yet." Improvements like a wider track, higher ride height, and better handling qualities like less roll angle and more responsive steering lend credence to this assertion.
