Our Verdict

The Tembo Tusker 77kWh 4WD extends the Tusker platform with a larger battery and 4WD capability — making it more appropriate for regional fleet applications and off-road use than the 2WD entry variant. Built on the HiLux chassis with Toyota's structural warranty and service network, it is the more capable Tembo for buyers who need the full HiLux capability set alongside electric running costs.

What we like

✓ 77kWh battery for longer range than 2WD variant
✓ 4WD for off-road and regional use
✓ Toyota HiLux chassis with national service support
✓ More suitable for regional fleet applications than 2WD

What could be better

✗ Higher price than 2WD variant
✗ Conversion complexity versus factory EV
✗ Tembo EV drivetrain warranty separate from Toyota vehicle warranty
✗ Charging infrastructure in regional areas limits range flexibility

Overview

The Tusker 77kWh 4WD addresses the limitation of the 2WD variant for buyers who need off-road capability and regional range. The larger battery and 4WD system make the Tusker 4WD suitable for government fleets, mining support, and agricultural applications where sealed road assumptions don’t hold.

The HiLux chassis’s proven capability in demanding Australian environments is the baseline; the Tembo conversion adds EV running costs while preserving the engineering that fleet operators in those environments have relied on.

Key Specification

Base vehicle: Toyota HiLux. Battery: 77kWh. Estimated range: 240-320km per charge. Drive: 4WD. Price: approximately $89,990.

Verdict

The Tusker 4WD is the regional and off-road fleet electrification choice for operators who need the HiLux’s capability alongside EV running costs. The larger battery and 4WD make it the more complete Tembo for diverse Australian operating environments.
