Yes, many Toyota Hilux owners in hot climates like Pakistan, UAE, and Australia face overheating, especially when:

🔸 Driving in High Temperatures – Hot weather increases engine strain.
🔸 Long Drives o r Highway Runs – Constant high speeds can raise engine temperature.
🔸 Heavy Towing o r Off-Roading – Carrying extra weight makes the engine work harder.
🔸 Slow Traffic o r Idling – If the cooling fan isn’t working, overheating can occur in traffic.

📌 Solution:
✔️ Ensure the radiator, coolant, and fans are in perfect condition before long drives.
✔️ Install a larger radiator o r additional cooling fan for extreme climates.
