Used Toyota Helix

The Toyota Helix is a little-known truck manufactured by the Japanese carmaker in the mid 1990’s. It closely resembles the Toyota Tacoma and the first and second generations of the Toyota Hilux. The Helix is the typical 90’s pickup truck. It has a high elevation for off-road driving using the truck’s four-wheel drive system. The truck was also made available with a two-wheel drive option. This truck is one of Toyota’s basic truck lineups, having no significant marks that would make it stand out in the parking lot. Its body closely resembles that of the used Toyota Hilux in terms of space. Five people can easily fit into the cabin of the Helix, although there might be a problem with head and legroom for larger persons. Bluntly put, the rear seats of the truck provide very little accommodation. It is like being placed into the closet with a backrest. To make up for the cramped accommodation, the Helix has a very wide bed for transport of cargo. The Helix, after all, was made for heavy duty transport of cargo and equipment, not for cross-country family vacationing. It has everything a trucker needs for transport: a responsive four-wheel drive system, five-speed manual transmission, a choice between three engine varieties, namely the 2.4 L four-cylinder engine is capable of producing 142 hp (106 kW) and 160 lb•ft (217 N•m) of torque, the 2.7 L four-cylinder, which was tested to push out around 150 hp (112 kW) and 177 lb•ft (240 N•m) of torque, and the powerful 3.4 L six-cylinder, which could push out 190 hp (142 kW) and 220 lb•ft (298 N•m) of torque. These engines, combined with the lightweight body of the truck, indeed provide significant power on the road and off it. The interior of the Helix provides the most basic comfort available. Fortunately, since it was manufactured by Toyota, passengers can always count on comfort and safety. The front seats are clad in comfortable fabric that does not build up heat during those hot summer days. An air conditioning unit is also installed as a standard, which gives sufficient conditioning for the Helix’s small cabin. The instrument panel has all the basic functions and luxuries of a practical owner: a cigarette lighter, a stereo system, and power controls for the windows. Outside, the Helix was clearly designed to become a rugged traveler. This would be perfect for those who like to rough it up on the dirt, not worrying about dings or scratches that could ruin the paint job. What the Helix gives is pure performance and power ¬– nothing more, nothing less.
