The Toyota Hilux specifications are simple, since one engine and one gearbox cover the range. The focus is on strength rather than variety. That keeps the spec sheet short and clear.
The 2.8 litre turbo diesel makes 201.15 bhp and a strong 500 Nm of torque. Peak torque arrives low, between 1600 and 2800 rpm, ideal for towing and climbing. A six speed automatic sends that power to the rear or all four wheels. The engine is shared with the Fortuner, so its reliability is well proven.
Fuel economy sits around 10.0 kmpl, typical for a heavy diesel pickup. The 80 litre tank gives a long range between fill-ups. Real numbers drop when you carry a full load or drive off-road. Highway cruising returns the best figures. Diesel torque means it rarely feels short of pulling power. The gearbox holds low gears well for climbs.
The Hilux is a big truck at 5320 mm long with a 3085 mm wheelbase. That long wheelbase steadies the ride and helps load carrying. It seats five in the cab, with an open cargo bed a normal SUV cannot match. The wide track adds stability when the bed is full. Payload and towing ratings are strong for the class.
Safety kit covers airbags, stability control and hill assist across the range. A rear differential lock helps the 4x4 climb slippery ground. Downhill assist control steadies steep descents off-road. Read together, the numbers describe a tough, no-nonsense work and lifestyle truck. To plan your spend, check the Hilux price for your city.
