#140 - 2026 Toyota Hilux with Bo Allan
About this episode
A relaxed drive-and-talk session in a 2026 Toyota Hilux (48-volt hybrid) with Bo Allan, hosted by the 4WD Podcast crew. They tour the Hilux’s modern cabin, big infotainment screen, and key changes like electric power steering and smoother stop/start behavior. Tough Dog gets a winter camping tip segment focused on staying warm (exercise, dry socks, and keeping batteries in the sleeping bag). Off to the side, they debate AI-driven 4WD tech via the Geely Galaxy Battleship 700 concept, then wrap with Bo’s chopped 80-series build talk and a quick look at the Hilux’s roller cover and grounded styling.
Different look on the show this week as we take the Grounded Construction 2026 Toyota Hilux for a spin with Bo Allan and chat AI 4WD's, updates on his chopped 80 series and more!
