Toyota Hilux Tougher Than You Can Imagine

Toyota has launched the new Hilux 2012 in New Zealand with “Tougher Than You Can Imagine”, a campaign with a fantastic storyline. The new campaign, rolled out on Facebook and on television during the All Blacks vs France Rugby World Cup match, continues the unbreakable theme. The commercial at the centre features a Hilux driver who drives his ute over a mountain, through a valley, deals with a cyclone, flood, landslide and volcanic eruption before engaging with an armed boar and spray painting chimp. The integrated campaign includes point of sale and digital elements, along with a participation feature that will launch over the summer.
