The Toyota Hilux is the only pick-up available with a separate ladder chassis on all three body types - Single Cab, Extra Cab and Double Cab..

With a choice of 2.5 litre, 144 hp and 3.0 litre, 171 hp D-4D diesel engines mated to manual or automatic transmissions (only with 3.0l), the Hilux offers customers the widest model line-up in the European pick-up segment.

Toyota is continuously improving the Hilux line-up in response to the requirements of customers in the work, leisure and adventure arenas.

To that end, the towing capacity of the 2010 Hilux 4WD has been increased by 250 kg to 2.5 tons.

Already available on the 3.0 litre D-4D, the high, SR+ grade was made more accessible through its availability with 2.5 litre D-4D models. SR+ incorporates automatic airconditioning, sports seats, side and curtain airbags, 17" alloy wheels and Vehicle Stability Control.
