Lindezi leads the way
If you want to hire a vehicle that's tough and pretty unstoppable for work as well as private use, then it's hard to think of a better place to start your search than from Lindezi Travel and Tours. They have a massive fleet. We however went for the hulky Toyota's Hilux 3 litre 4x2 double cab. It is mounted on humongous wheels. So sexy and muscular.
We appreciate the Lindezi team for providing us with a hire that helped us make memories we would always treasure. Agile and focused on the needs of the customer, their team is led by their hands-on General Manager Clement Gwari. They prioritize meeting the demands of today’s fussy clients and most of all they keep their word, which is what the hiring customer needs.
You can make memories while you're traveling, as they say at Lindezi Travel and Tours. When you travel, it doesn't matter whether you're in a car, bus, or airplane; what matters is the memories you create and bring home. LINDEZI likes traveling to new locations, seeing loved ones, making new friends, and reuniting with old acquaintances and family. Self-drive rentals, chauffeured rentals, airport transfers, airline tickets, and shuttle services are just a few of the many services that Lindezi provides to its clients.
We had the choice of the Toyota Hilux GD6 or the Isuzu DMax, but we went with the more seasoned Hilux D4D. After all, DRIVEtorque is not like everyone else. We are unique. Ordinary is boring. We dare to be different and have fun whilst at it.
This is, after all, the vehicle Jeremy Clarkson and Top Gear drowned, threw from the top of a tower block and still drove home. It was the first vehicle to be driven to both North and South Poles. It is, in short, for everyone from suburban builders to Libyan freedom fighters, a pick-up trusted the world over to get the job done. We wanted to experience it. We took if for a spin to Karoi mining areas and rural Nyazura. We invented our own Dakar Rally in the process and it came out tops
It's been hugely successful for Toyota across six generations dating all the way back to 1972, well over 12 million sales worldwide across 164 different countries making it the brand's second most successful model of all time. The Hilux has ruled the Zimbabwean pick-up market. Early versions of this model were handicapped by feebly-powered engines but after the MK6 model's original launch, the Japanese maker upped the ante under the bonnet. And, at the end of 2011, the brand smartened up the packaging a little to help this pick-up compete with a revised version of its closest rival Nissan's Navara, as well as with all-new pick-ups from Ford, Mazda and Volkswagen.
Of course, the changes to this revised model were more than skin-deep. That sleeker front end concealed a far more competitive range of Euro5-compatible diesel engines claiming class-leading CO2 emissions. Add these (and a dash of hi-tech equipment) to the Hilux's established virtues - unsurpassed off-road ability, practical loading capacities and a car-like interior - and the result, it was claimed, would be a package that'd be tough to beat. This model sold until a new seventh generation Hilux design was launched in 2016.
