EXTERIOR
The Toyota Dyna has a conservative and functional exterior design. If you want a car with beauty but with a high payload capacity, we can get you the Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Series. The Dyna is available as a single cab, double cab, flatbed, steel deck, box body, refrigerated body, dump or tipper & route van.
The halogen headlights provide excellent illumination during night driving. It has a high ground clearance, which elevates its angles of approach and departure, allowing it to effortlessly go through inclined and reclined surfaces. The tires provide excellent traction when driving on slippery surfaces.

INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY
The Toyota Dyna is basic and utilitarian. A single cab has a seating arrangement for at least three people, while the double cab can accommodate at least 5 people. Each occupant has generous legroom and headroom.
The driver has an elevated sitting position for excellent visibility and an exceptional turning radius. As simple as it appears to be, at least you have an AM/FM Radio to keep you tuned in to Maina and King’ang’i on Classic 105 as you haul bags or rice in Mwea, Kirinyaga County, and a 12-volt power outlet to keep your phone fully charged as you confirm M-Pesa messages after transporting hardware materials from Nakuru to Eldoret. You have access to multiple storage compartments like a glove box to keep your transport contracts safe, and a cup holder to hold your soft drink as you cruise nicely on the Mau-Rironi Summit Road.
PERFORMANCE: How Does it Handle Kenyan Roads?
The Toyota Dyna is available with multiple engine options. Depending on the type of work or purpose you want it to help you achieve, you can opt for more power at the expense of fuel economy, or less power with stellar fuel economy. Don’t expect a sports car acceleration from the Dyna. It is all about cargo and efficiency. If you want performance, we can get you the latest Lamborghini Urus. Or if you feel that option will make you sell all your inheritance, then you can opt for a Toyota Fortuner.
When empty, the Dyna is surprisingly responsive. The steering is light and precise. Depending on the tonnage and payload capacity, the Dyna is up to the task of hauling freight. Experienced drivers have the option of a manual transmission, not letting down our ancestors who used a steering wheel with no power steering and a clutch that grew the muscles on their left leg, much bigger compared to the right leg, which most of the time is on the accelerator. New drivers have access to an automatic transmission system.
