What is the Toyota Hilux Champ?

To better understand the Carryboy camper van, let’s first examine the Toyota Hilux Champ. The Hilux is Toyota’s mid-sized pickup truck, comparable to the Rexton Sports in the Korean market. First launched in 1968, the Hilux has established a reputation for exceptional durability, making it a popular choice in developing countries.

The Hilux Champ is designed as a versatile vehicle optimized for modifications, setting it apart from typical pickup trucks. Released in 2023, its design has distinct differences from the standard Hilux. It offers a range of powertrains, including a 2.0-liter gasoline engine, a 2.7-liter gasoline engine, and a 2.4-liter diesel engine. Buyers can choose between a 5-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission, providing flexibility for various driving preferences.

As noted, the Hilux Champ is tailored for special modifications. Carryboy has capitalized on this by using the vehicle’s long-wheelbase chassis cab model as the foundation for their camper van. 

In Thailand, the pricing for these camper conversions starts at approximately $60,000, while models equipped with additional options can reach around $72,500. The Touring Package begins at about $30,300 for those seeking a more budget-friendly option. This range reflects the various features and customization available to meet different consumer needs.

The interior of the Carryboy camper van is designed for comfort and functionality. It features a versatile living area that can serve as both a sofa and dining space, easily converting into a bed for sleeping. Above the driver’s seat, there’s a separate sleeping area equipped with a window, enhancing the living space. 

Storage is abundant, with long storage boxes mounted on the ceiling for easy access to various items. The camper is also well-appointed with modern amenities, including an 80-liter refrigerator, kitchen appliances, a sink, a 32-inch TV, and air conditioning. It includes electric side steps, sunshades, and slide-out kitchen options for added convenience.

The camper’s rear features a toilet and a 100-liter freshwater tank. The power system has a standard battery capacity of 9,600 Wh, with upgrade options available for 19,200 Wh and 28,800 Wh. A solar generator can also be installed on the roof to enhance energy efficiency further.
