In comparison, the Hilux is 5 325 mm long, 1 900 mm wide, and 1 815 mm tall.
Although no details have been released about the Stallion's powertrain, speculation suggests that it will be equipped with a 2.0-litre petrol four-cylinder engine. As for the price, industry sources estimate that it will start at R190 000 and position itself as a straightforward work vehicle rather than a lifestyle bakkie.
