Tamiya 58372-53957 High-Lift 4x4 overview for modders and collectors
Looking for an RC truck that balances scale realism with usable performance? The Tamiya High-Lift 4x4, released in 2006, remains a favourite thanks to its optional MFC-02 Multi-Function Unit. Whether you are fine-tuning setups or displaying on a shelf, this kit adds sound, light and vibration effects that deepen the driving experience.
Lighting to match full-size rigs
The High-Lift packs up to 33 high-brightness LEDs that you can arrange to reproduce authentic vehicle lighting. A demo mode makes it easy to show off the setup, which is why many collectors choose this truck for display as well as driving.
Engine and cabin sound effects
An onboard speaker delivers 24 distinct sounds sampled from real vehicles. From V8 rumble to turbo whine, the audio layer adds a convincing atmosphere when you run the model.
Controls and tactile feedback
Operate up to 16 separate functions using a 4-channel transmitter to simulate real pickup operations. Steering, throttle and accessory control all feel convincing, and the vibration feature gives extra tactile feedback during use.
How it stacks up against similar kits
Compared with other pickup-style models such as the Ford F-350, the High-Lift stands out for its operational range when paired with the Multi-Function Unit. The F-350 may score on body accuracy, but this Tamiya shines for interactive driving features.
