🛻 Tradies & tow rigs — this one’s for you.
If your diesel is working hard every day… hauling tools, towing, or loaded up — it shouldn’t feel sluggish or chew through fuel doing it.
This 2010 Toyota Hilux (1KD) came in completely stock, just like most work utes on the road.
The brief was simple:
👉 Better fuel economy
👉 More usable power for daily work
No parts fitted. Just a proper dyno tune.
📊 Results:
• 89kW / 490Nm as received
• 114kW / 565Nm tuned
That extra torque down low makes a real difference where it counts — taking off, hills, towing, and carrying load.
Less strain on the engine, less throttle needed, and a smoother drive day-to-day.
✔️ Better for towing
✔️ Easier under load
✔️ Improved fuel efficiency
✔️ Completely stock setup
If your work ute feels like it’s always working overtime, it probably is.
Let’s fix that.
