Things That Make Toyota Hilux Stand Out
The Hilux isn’t your everyday off-road vehicle. It offers a range of features that allow it to stand out as a dependable pickup.
- Off-road Ability: The Hilux is renowned for its robust build and durability. It also features high ground clearance and four-wheel drive capabilities, making it perfect for off-roading.
- Spacious Design: This Hilux provides seats for up to five people. The double-cab truck also has a spacious load bed built to accommodate various kinds of load.
- Comfortable Interior: Despite its rugged design, this truck offers comfortable seating and a range of comfort features, including air conditioning and infotainment options.
- Safety: In addition to having a rugged build, the Hilux boasts many key features to keep a driver and passengers safe. There are airbags that activate upon impact and stability control to limit skidding in slippery conditions.
- Towing: With a robust engine, the Hilux is a great alternative to a recovery truck for towing. It also has a tow bar that makes heavy-load towing seamless.

About The Toyota Hilux
There’s a good reason the Hilux is one of the first names that comes to mind when you think about pickup trucks. This truck, which was introduced in 1968, has established a reputation for its durability and off-road ability. With 632,000 units sold in 2022, it is one of the best-selling vehicles globally.
We also offer crew van hire for customers seeking spacious passenger vehicles. If you need to hire a small van for cargo transportation, VW Caddy is the right pick for you.
Toyota Hilux: History And Evolution
The Hilux has evolved over eight generations since its original launch in 1968.
- First Generation: The first generation of Hilux was launched as a replacement for the smaller Briska.
- Second Generation: The second iteration of the Hilux was released in 1972 with more comfortable interior and exterior updates.
- Third Generation: With the third generation in 1978, Toyota introduced a four-door model of the truck. A year later, the carmaker released a 4WD model for better off-road performance.
- Fourth Generation: The truck went through an interior redesign with full high panels for the doors and faux leather stitching. Toyota also introduced the Xtracab, offering more room behind the front seats.
- Fifth Generation: With the fifth generation, the Hilux provided more ground clearance and anti-lock brakes became an option.
- Sixth Generation: The sixth generation of Hilux 5-seater came with a more rounded and modern appearance. Toyota also introduced the Double Cab model with more seating and an extra row of doors.
- Seventh Generation: Between 2005 and 2015, Toyota added a bunch of safety features to the Hilux, including Stability Control and Traction Control. It also offered a more fuel-efficient engine.
- Eighth Generation: The eighth iteration, which is the current generation of Hilux, features a more aggressive and contemporary SUV design. It also has a better interior with heated door mirrors and modern AC vents.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Is The Toyota Hilux?
The Toyota Hilux is between 5.265 m (17 ft 3 in) and 5.320 m (17 ft 5 in). The exact length of this truck varies, depending on the body type. The single cab truck is the shortest with a length of 5.265 m (17 ft 3 in). The extra cab truck is 5.285 m (17 ft 4 in), while the double cab model is the longest with a length of 5.320 m (17 ft 5 in).
Where Is The Toyota Hilux Made?
The Toyota Hilux is made in Thailand, Argentina, Malaysia, Venezuela, Pakistan and South Africa. The earlier generation Hilux models were made in Hamura, Tokyo. However, in 2004, Toyota relocated production of the vehicle. You should note that the Toyota models used in the UK and most other parts of Europe are usually from Durban in South Africa.
Should I Choose A Version With Or Without A Truckman Top?
You should choose a version with a truckman top if you want added protection for your load. The truckman top is a lockable canopy placed over the load compartment to protect its content from theft and weather elements. On the downside, the truckman cover adds to the vehicle’s weight and it makes the load area unsuitable for tall items.
