😅 the people that bought the X-Class for me they should have they're heads examined. Why pay a premium price for the X Class when you could have gotten the cheaper Navara? The X Class wasn't really offering anything special besides the Merc badge. Only explanation brand snobbery 🤔.
Mercedes knew better. The fact that you can doesn't mean you should. They'd run at a huge loss meanwhile pleasing few enthusiasts, the car would cost too much.
There's a lot of crazy conversions this side of the world yeah, and the people here love 2JZs. There are a couple of BMW E30s with it and a few bakkies (pick-up trucks) with it as well
For some reason, this gentleman is absolutely awesome, well spoken, honest , fair for naming all his people. Absolutely love this. Toyota should give this gentleman to build the Toyota Supra🙏. God bless people like this.
Finally, a review I've been waiting for! This is mad genius, I loved his first AMG bakkie and this one is even more sick and I understand if the man wants to limit making these machines for others...making his an exclusive. I'd kinda want that for myself lol but I want such a "sleeper" and I'm no machanic at all. Now I'd like to see his friend's 2jz powered hilux review. Please guys making happen.
It’s actually not that much torque, diesels are brutal on gearboxes. D4D has 370 lb ft very low in the rev range, whilst the 6.3 AMG has about 460 lb ft higher up in the rev range.
@@yjkader ya I suppose, though it's still more torque than its normally supposed to hold up to, albeit it's probably the same gearbox used on the 4 litre v6🤷♂️😂
Its called the Tundra... in the US, TRD generally does a supercharger kit for every truck Toyota sells, for the first couple of years or so. Magnussen (sic?) do a turbo kit for the 5.7L v8 toyota tundra too btw. Brings it up to 600+BHP at the wheels. This is just beautiful craftsmanship tho.
@@iainbagnall4825 It's a fucking Hilux dude Stop lying And the Tundra TRD doesn't sell with the supercharger. It was a one off they did for show. Everything you said is a lie
Stunning bakkie with one of the best sounding performance engins ever made. Love it!! All the work going into this beast must have been frustrating at times, but SO rewarding at the end.
❤ Sending much love from the states. I found you as a positive influence to modify my 2016 Toyota Tacoma DoubleCab using any AMG power plant drivetrain . Do not want LS motor as they are so boring.
@@malibongwehopewell8514 ya I know, but then ya shota, it's just the looks with no true R line power, it's not a vrrrpha, I've never heard it vrrrrphapharazeng, if you know what I mean
This bakkie is sick to the core, the looks!!! Sir, you certainly did what we never thought would happen. That Navara with a 3 pointed star, does not have the proper looks. TOYOTA takes the VICTORY for me!!!
Mercedes should've developed the X class on their own from the outset and they should've also made a 63 version. Would've been epic. I hope they are watching this. I hope Toyota is watching too because then maybe they'll make a high performance Hilux. They probably won't but just maybe.
great work to you and your team sir! that is a beautiful well put together AMG Hilux! really looks like it came out of the factory! This is what Mercedes should have done to the X Class! ... this is worth every penny to whoever this guy will charge to buy this
Lovely... I'm running my legend 45 on an isuzu 2.8 motor... Bought it on auction nd found the engine stripped off a few parts... No starter, broken injector etc... Nd my budget was bad.... Luckily we had an isuzu 2.8 ltr we sort off took the motor nd gear box... And that was a few years ago.... Till this day we still doing this road thing❤️... She's my daily runner
This is really nice. 😅 So say someone buys it from you at the right price, like when it's time to service the bakkie, do you take it to Toyota or Mercedes ?
This looks and sounds spectacular. Glad he didnt add unnecessary things. Looks menacing. Alloys suit the car to a tee too. I would've blacked out the chrome in the grill just to give it a bit more "get the fuck out of my way" attitude. 😅. Impressive stuff 👌🏿
Adding a 6.2L v8 is done quite a bit here in Australia particularly with the hilux, rangers and especially Colorado's. Still would of been cool with an x class
A Toyota Hilux Bakkie with a AMG 63 motor should be quite a vehicle. The Hilux should give some hot hatches a run for their money. I wonder what Toyota South Africa thinks about it. What a brilliant build.
I hope that when the AMG division decides to grab the X-Class, they take inspiration from this dude. This car is awesome, and it's mad crazy, I love it
I did a 1uzfe auto into a 1996 hilux about 20yrs ago & it was fast i cant imagine how fast this thing would be. I did mine in 6weeks & cost about $5k to do my conversion.
When Mercedes announced that they would be launching a pick-up truck this is what we were all hoping to see...
100%
Got you!
So true
But we got a rebadged Navara. Such a shame
A bakkie bro, we don't pick-up truck in South Africa.
I just love how he's giving shoutouts to everyone who was involved on the project 👊
Ja, stand up guy
Love that too

Then why not put a proper motor in the X Class???🤔🤔
@@truth-Hurts375 seems they didn't want to spend much on R&D. So they opted for that Nissan garbage
Imagine the X class was something like this instead of the Navarra with Mascara we got.
Navarra with Mascara.... now thatz a good one 😂😂😂😂😂

@@theeslickcrewsa3470 X-class is really a Navarra

The Germans got Brabus, ABT, Mansory etc and we got this guy
Yeah, you can say that again.
You have a mastermind that creates awesomeness, which no one will do these days.
I validate this comment 🥇
my limited understanding would say 'you got this footsack'
Thank you Oom
I just love how creative South Africans are!
I thought it was south Australia

@@AngryMonkeyza a bakkie with a 2jz, my dream car for Europe, they wouldn't know wat hit them.
@@Jaireet_Panesar Lol, nope. South Africa
@@Jaireet_Panesar Have you heard Australian accents sounding a bit German?
I own a C63 but if Mercedes put the glorious 6.2L in a 4x4 pickup truck. I would 100% buy one. Props for this guy doing it 💪🏼
"Don't catch a fright when I tell ya how much I want for it..."
Spoken like a true legend
Massive respect to this guy for pulling off this build. It’s not easy making things look like they belong there
Yet another example of, if you can imagine it, you can achieve it. This bakkie is a beauty.
This might be the craziest build I've ever seen. SEMA spec build quality. Absolutely beautiful

The ride height looks amazing, overall exterior aesthetics on point man, what a genius build!
Clean.
The exterior clean, not that over the top plastic bits people add to their builds
The Hilux with a 2JZ that's runs in Brakpan , that's madness, this is cool
Absolutely agree 🥳
2JZ is overkill. This AMG variant is unique. Thats the real difference
He also build that one for his friend.
2jz is common though....
Proud to see Malaysia is a part of the build (technically)
Malaysia & Thailand are great with front end conversions.
Great build!
orang malaysia sini bang !
Maju Negaraku Malaysia
Wow! What a car. Big ups to ASG for the amazing interior! Big ups Abdul!
So much passion in building cars, I'd like to see which other cars he has
One of his cars is a drag Civic which is the fastest fwd Civic in SA.
This is a man who takes two pieces of art and make a MASTERPIECE! Toyota and Mercedes needs to pay attention.
I'm impressed that the d4d gearbox is able to withstand the insane torque from the 6.3👀🤣

What a vehicle!!! I love the stance...it commands respect in a subtle manner. It's a beautiful conversion💯👌👏👏👏
Subtle👌💯 I Just wouldn't have customized the number plate.
Very Very cool that you give credit to every member of the success team.
Brilliant looking bakkie.
If only manufacturers did this, even in limited runs, i bet they would have sold out before production
True, so true
The thing is that they don't want to lose money. 💰💰💰💰

Stop lying
And the Tundra TRD doesn't sell with the supercharger. It was a one off they did for show.

No they wouldn't
Most people don't care about limited runs
Obrigado Ciro.This is some crazy and beautiful build.Well done Boylan for letting Ciro do this video and Kudus to you.Niemand kan beter as SA nie.Awe
i love how this guy is in tune with reality so honest with himself
This has just reassured my love for Toyota...
This is such a nicely done conversion. I think this is such an epic build. Respect!
Stunning bakkie with one of the best sounding performance engins ever made. Love it!! All the work going into this beast must have been frustrating at times, but SO rewarding at the end.
Not usually a fan of either AMGs or pick ups but this is so clean looking. Looks and sounds amazing. Great work.
"Hi, my name is Quinton and this is my.... What do you call it?" 💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i've owned three hiluxes so far ... and i love what you've done here. cheers from Bhutan
That is SICK. Imagine these were mass produced they would outsell anything. 🤩
this is absolutely KWAAAI ... you can just hear that roar of the 63 motor :-)
A monster indeed

You sir have just shown Mercedes benz what their bakkie was suppose to be like!
Curious, does bakkie mean Ute/pickup?
@@aidsman2609 yep
Legend 63😍😍😍😍😍😍
He's right. Merc should have developed an X Class AMG, that would have been epic
Can you imagine? Best pick up ever
Just like VW Tiguan, they should've created a GTI and the R also

Awesome looking Hilux. Nice conversion. I love it, congrats. 👍🤘😎🇦🇺
Sick Bakkie 🔥🔥🔥. Definitely the best there is 🤌🏾

Toyota should also put their Lexus engines on the hilux
@@mphanamathangeni4210 Agreed
Toyota is going to bring out a proper GR Hilux soon and there is talk of a big turbo diesel V6, 2023 I think.
Yes 2URGSE motor in a Hilux. Like what the dakar hilux's have :)
@@mphanamathangeni4210 2URGSE :)
Wow I've never seen such a conversation,I seen other conversation but this one is the best👌nice one.
The question of why we dont have our own cars in SA is just concerning with such talent
A Great leader acknowledges and gives credit where is due 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾, beautiful monster you have there, love it❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great bakkie, but just a question... Do I service this at Toyota or Mercedes?
Take it back to him
Both lol, engine AMG , Suspension Toyota
When he said it is for sale. My brain immediately starting counting numbers
Skaks is this u?😂
i feel like this should've been a toyotaxmercedes collab and should've been a bakkie as a whole straight from the factory
The mighty M156 AMG motor one of the greatest engines ever😍
wow this sounds like a very expensive project nice one!
Expensive and time consuming
Worth it👌💯
I would.
Dude, you've just automated a Legend 50 into some beast Mode, AMG HILUX made in S.A. 🔥🔥🔥
great work to you and your team sir! that is a beautiful well put together AMG Hilux! really looks like it came out of the factory! This is what Mercedes should have done to the X Class! ... this is worth every penny to whoever this guy will charge to buy this

Awesome
Who is he? I already saw him on his 6.2L powered Exige and he's super cool and so authentic. Awesome car guy! This is true car culture!
This is really nice. 😅 So say someone buys it from you at the right price, like when it's time to service the bakkie, do you take it to Toyota or Mercedes ?
Mercedes I guess 😅😅
Mercedes
you do it yourself. it isnt too hard
Take it to Mercedez... Because the engine is stock
If he could build this conversion he certainly can service it himself.
So where do you take it for service, mercedes or toyota or do you alternate in between... Or at your shop?
Excellent 😍👌
A shout out from a 🇿🇦 living in 🇦🇺
Always in my ❤🇿🇦❤🇿🇦❤🇿🇦❤
The Toyota Hilux is Awesome straight from the factory or your local dealer the twin turbo 🔥😎
That's why I love my country mzanzi, well done👏💯
Creativity at its best 🔥💯👌🏻 Give this man a Bells
This Is Amazing guys am happy this shows that we have people who love cars to this point and great innovation
Heyyy Malaysia 🙋♂️ Didnt he fit an AMG engine in an older model Hilux as well?
imagine rolling up to an X-Class in this. LOL
Awesome and this fully sick mate!. Nicely done
That is one of the fully sick hilux I’ve ever seen !! Can this also be done on the prado150 series?
I've seen this car at some workshop before it even took this shape... I'm also converting my Toyota Yaris, thank the Lord for these shout-outs...
Would love to see the performance specs. Quinton, if you reading this... share please!
Nice and clean Hilux, and the conversion is sick
This looks and sounds spectacular. Glad he didnt add unnecessary things. Looks menacing. Alloys suit the car to a tee too. I would've blacked out the chrome in the grill just to give it a bit more "get the fuck out of my way" attitude. 😅. Impressive stuff 👌🏿
Awesome build, very unique! Any chance you could get Quentin back on the channel to do a 0-100, a few drag races, etc? Thanks gents
This is perfect🔥🔥,Dream car for sure...Hilux all the way 😭
Such a cool dude, this gentleman.
The coolest thing I've ever seen in my life, Mercedes should be taking notes
why would they be taking notes? its their own engine.
Adding a 6.2L v8 is done quite a bit here in Australia particularly with the hilux, rangers and especially Colorado's. Still would of been cool with an x class
I am enjoying this, I am a fanatic of d hilux, I have a 87 4x4, trying to restore it. From Trinidad.
This is the most Brakpan thing ever
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
😅🤣😂🤣😅
Whaaahahaha so TRUE!!!😂😂😂
LMAO 🤣
Very innovative build. Not the same same builds that are over done. This is a special build!
A Toyota Hilux Bakkie with a AMG 63 motor should be quite a vehicle. The Hilux should give some hot hatches a run for their money. I wonder what Toyota South Africa thinks about it. What a brilliant build.
As a mad lover of a pick-up truck and amg c63... I would definitely buy this one 😍
Wish they couldve shown the power of this beautiful project. Atleast a drag race or 0-100 stats.
Absolutely amazing piece of work. Make sure you keep those lifters lubricated well. Stunning workmanship.
"yes,it is for sale...for the right money..." This man is a legend😁 doesn't even bother mentioning the price.

Hats of good sir hats off,I love the Hilux brand drove it for a long time and it is reliable and this ....this...this just makes it amazing beautiful
Vanderbijlpark and Pretoria North approve 😂😂😂
Brakpan as well
I did a 1uzfe auto into a 1996 hilux about 20yrs ago & it was fast i cant imagine how fast this thing would be. I did mine in 6weeks & cost about $5k to do my conversion.
When I grow up I wanna be this guy.
This is very unique, what about the suspension? Because it's too fast, any ideas about the suspension of this toyota?
Good job my G. Sounds like an AMG indeed for real
I need to meet this guy, love his work 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
My brain is tilting. Everything is telling me that bakkie should not sound like that 🤯
I have headphones on and nothing I hear tells me its coming from that bakkie.
Chevy SS sounds better imo
Similar mindfuck I'm going through
Have you seen the Ram TRX?
This car reminds me of my neighbor's Lexus v8 swap e46 bmw but he recently sold it for another stance build Ford focus , he now has three focuses
How much kw is it ??
Hey Quinton 👋 , I love it "lets remain exclusive "
