Toyota Hilux Champ converted into a motorhome, priced from RM254k in Thailand
In the Thailand market, Carryboy company has begun offering full-spec motorhome packages for owners of the Hilux Champ pickup truck model who prioritize comfort while traveling.
The same module can actually be fitted onto larger pickup trucks like the Toyota Hilux and Mitsubishi Triton.
Depending on the selected specifications, this motorhome is capable of accommodating up to six people at a time.
It provides a living area that can be transformed into a sleeping area, in addition to other amenities such as LED lighting system, storage space, 80-liter refrigerator, cooking area, 32-inch TV, and air conditioning unit.
On the exterior, Carryboy also installs electric-powered side steps, awning roof, and a pull-out cooking option.
There is a 100-liter fresh water tank for the bathroom and toilet use.
The motorhome also comes with a 9,600 Wh capacity battery that can be upgraded to 19,200 Wh or 28,800 Wh for those who wish to remain off-grid for longer periods.
Owners can also take advantage of hot weather by installing solar panels on the roof to extend the battery life.
The engine power remains standard, with the 2.4-liter diesel heart capable of producing up to 148 hp and 343 Nm of torque to drive the rear wheels through the automatic gearbox.
However, Carryboy also offers an upgraded suspension system option with new shock absorbers that can further increase the ground clearance of the Hilux Champ.
For those who prefer a more compact package, Carryboy offers the Touring Package, including a rear module with organized storage space, and a rooftop tent that can accommodate two adults.
The price for the Touring Package starts from THB 450,000 (RM57,298) for the rear module, and THB 32,500 (RM4,138) for the rooftop tent.
Those interested in the comprehensive motorhome package mentioned earlier can budget from THB 1,997,000 to THB 2,389,000 (RM254k-RM304k).
Despite carrying the Hilux name, the Hilux Champ actually has a smaller size and is positioned below the pickup truck model as a more compact and affordable alternative (priced from THB 459,000 or RM58,444).
