Information on repair and maintenance of Toyota Hilux cars electronically

The Toyota Hilux is a pickup truck produced since March 1968 by the Japanese automaker Toyota. It is one of the most famous and popular pickups in the world, with a reputation for being durable and flawless.

The name “Hilux” comes from the word “High Luxury”, which means “Luxury of a high standard”.

Typical vehicle equipment included a single short cab with a power unit in the forward position and rear-wheel drive. The engines were of different types for different markets, while in the North American engine the volume for both the diesel and gasoline versions was about 2 liters, for other markets it was less. This series was produced until 1972.

The second series, the production period of which lasts from 1972 to 1978, has undergone a global rethinking of the car. For example, a 5-speed gearbox was used instead of a 4-speed one. Larger engines are also being used for all markets.

The third version of the Toyota Hilux (also known as the Toyota 22R) began production in 1978. It was one of the vehicles that gained great popularity due to its strength, reliability and stability, since the structure of the car could withstand heavy loads.

The car featured a 1.6-liter 12R-J engine, double wishbone front suspension and a 90 mm longer cab. Toyota has marked many generations of the Toyota Hilux with this classic and continues to do so with more and more innovations in these models and new versions.

The seventh generation Toyota Hilux is available in three versions depending on the number of cabins and the size of the trunk, namely:

  • single cabin;
  • double cab;
  • additional cabin.

The eighth series Toyota Hilux was launched at the end of 2015 along with the Toyota Fortuner and Toyota Innova. This car was presented at the Geneva Motor Show 2016. The first restyling was carried out in 2018, then for the second time in 2020.

The eighth series offers a new and unique diesel block engine. Toyota Hilux VIII has become available in a versatile or civilian version, with a single or double cab, with a manual or automatic transmission, as well as with 2 or 4 wheel drive. Has 3 levels of decoration.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Toyota Hilux, the Japanese automaker is introducing a special edition called the Special Edition. The model has received a new front end with a hexagonal grille and new fog lamps design, as well as a new Metallic Orange color.

The Toyota Hilux is assembled in several factories around the world, including Thailand for the European and Australian markets, and South Africa for the local market.

The Japanese Toyota Hilux has earned a reputation for exceptional durability and reliability even with prolonged use and / or misuse, and is commonly referred to as the "indestructible pickup". Despite this, operation sooner or later leads to breakdowns and malfunctions in the operation of the car. Timely maintenance of the vehicle will extend its life without repair.
