Joost Marijke Toyota Hilux (Part 1)

This car can be seen on the road completely randomly. Usually, such instances dwell far beyond the urban jungle.


At a single glance, it becomes clear, what this car is created for: endless travel, off-road adventures, outdoor activities, etc. Built on the basis of Toyota Hilux, this camper is unique in its design and designation. Jost and Marijke (Joost and Marijke), a wonderful couple from the Netherlands, have been using this car in different parts of our planet.


For those interested, there is a special blog where they record their travels and impressions of the places they visit. We had a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted with this couple and their car in Armenia, during another trip called Iran Overland 2016, which started in April 2016. After visiting Iran, Jost and Marike found themselves in Armenia in mid-may. Until then, they had already visited South and North Africa, South America and some European countries by this car. Toyota Hilux is the car, thanks to which they fulfill all their wonderful travels.


The car was produced in 2012 (model KUN26L-PRASYW) for the European market and is equipped with a 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine 1KD-FTV aggregated with a 5-speed automatic transmission. Initially, it was a pickup truck with a cabin in the configuration of double-cab.
