Increased Power and More Powertrain Options<\/h2>\n

The latest generation of the Hilux comes with a larger and more powerful 2.8-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel <\/a>producing 201 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque between 1,600 and 2,800 rpm. A manual or an automatic six-speed transmission is available to transfer all that power to the wheels; however, the manual transmission models have a maximum torque limit of 309 lb-ft.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Toyota also offers a 2.4-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel producing 148 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque between 1,600 and 2,000 rpm.<\/p>\n

Both variants come with 4WD as standard and are Euro 6d-compliant.<\/p>\n

Improved Best in Class Drive Comfort<\/h2>\n

Pickup trucks are not typically known to offer the best comfort and ride quality, but Toyota says otherwise. The Japanese manufacturer has gone to extreme lengths to improve on-road comfort, including redesigning the leaf springs and bushings.<\/p>\n

The brand-new Hilux also comes with retuned shock absorbers, an improved suspension system, and a variable-ratio power steering for better response.<\/p>\n

What’s even more impressive is that all Hilux Double-Cab can wade through 700 mm of water, thanks to its ground clearance of 310 mm.<\/p>\n

Advanced Design and Multimedia Features<\/h2>\n

From an aesthetic standpoint, the Hilux gets a more muscular makeover. The exterior looks more off-road-oriented now, with its new front grille and bumper, extra skid plate, and new fenders. Other changes include newly-designed LED headlights and taillights, exclusive fog lamp bezels, and a wide variety of wheel designs.<\/p>\n

And if you are really serious about off-road, you’ll be pleased to know that more than 300 optional accessories are also available, including scuff plates, fender protectors, bed liners, and hardtops, just to name a few.<\/p>\n
