Today January 4, 2013 Toyota Imperial and Toyota South Africa have released preview videos and images from the Toyota South Africa Team at the Dakar 2013 Rally to the media. Tomorrow on January 5, 2013 the Dakar 2013 is due to start. This year Toyota South Africa have 2 teams in the Dakar, driving the Toyota Hilux which are known to be one of the best pick-up trucks in the world.

In 2012 the Toyota Hilux driven by Giniel de Villiers and Dirk von Zitzewitz came third overall at the Dakar 2012 Rally and we expect that the Toyota South African Team and the Toyota Hilux pick-up are going to win the Dakar 2013 Rally.
