Has Anyone Faced Toyota Hilux Rollovers o r Stability Issues?

Being a tall vehicle, the Hilux has a higher center of gravity. Have you ever felt the vehicle is unstable o r at risk of rolling over, especially when turning at high speeds?

The Toyota Hilux, being a tall and rugged vehicle, has a higher center of gravity, which can make it feel less stable during sharp turns o r sudden maneuvers at high speeds. While modern Hilux models come with Vehicle Stability Control VSC and Traction Control, excessive speed, uneven road surfaces, o r carrying a high load can still increase the risk of body roll o r rollover.

To improve stability, I take precautions such as reducing speed before turns, avoiding sudden lane changes, and properly distributing cargo weight. Upgrading to wider all-terrain tyres and stiffer suspension components can also help enhance stability, especially for off-road driving. Defensive driving and understanding the vehicle’s limits are key to preventing rollovers.
