While Toyota has sold more than 16 million Hilux trucks since it was originally introduced in 1968, drivers in the United States haven’t had the opportunity to drive it until now.
Changes to the Exterior
The chassis of the Hilux is similar to that of the current Tacoma. In the front, there’s a sleek grille, and large and elongated LED headlights. The rear of the truck has a sizable tail gate, a strong rear bumper, and new tail lights. The rear window has been redesigned so that drivers have a larger and more unobstructed view. There are also plenty of chrome accents throughout the truck.
Under the Hood
Designers have replaced the usual engine with a more fuel-efficient one. Drivers have a choice between diesel or gasoline engines. Additionally, the Hilux will come standard with four-wheel drive and rear wheel drive as an optional feature. Drivers also have the choice between a six-speed manual and a six-speed automatic transmission.
Redesigned Interior
Thanks to the newly designed interior, the Hilux has a quiet ride and fewer vibrations during high speeds. The seat upholstery is designed to be resistant to dirt. The seats also offer plenty of leg room for the passengers and puts the driver up higher so he or she can see farther ahead. There’s a touchscreen on the dashboard that gives control of the entertainment and climate system.
