75-624: While the smaller Datsun Truck always outsold the Toyota Hilux , the larger Junior was outsold by the Toyota Stout . This may have been due to the decision to market it under the unfamiliar Nissan name, as well as "Junior" not being a very suitable name for a large, heavier payload truck. Since 1970, Zamyad (nowadays a SAIPA subsidiary) assembles it in Iran , where it was released under the name of Nissan Zamyad. In 1986, SAIPA took over its production and it

150-567: A "gentle" 136.1 km/h (84.6 mph) top speed in a period road test conducted in South Africa, in spite of a claimed 89 kW (121 PS; 119 hp). The Hilux was radically redesigned in 1975 to be larger and with increased standard equipment. In North America, the new version also meant the introduction of the larger (2.2 L) 20R engine and the SR5 upscale trim package. A five-speed manual transmission became optional. In North America,

225-466: A 1.6-litre petrol version with 75 PS (55 kW), and a 60 PS (44 kW) diesel ( SD22 ). All are four-cylinders with two valves per cylinder. The smallest 1.6-liter model (chassis code N140 ) was rated for 1.5 t (3,300 lb), while the regular 140-series models could handle 2.0 t (4,400 lb). There was also a 1.75 t (3,850 lb) version of the H20-engined truck, called

300-498: A V6 truck at this time. The solid front axle was replaced with an independent front suspension /torsion bar setup in the 4×4 model in 1986, and optional automatic differential disconnect for the front differential (an alternative to automatic locking hubs). 1985 was the last year of the solid front axle in most markets. The solid front axle would remain in the 5th generation 4×4 LN106 model until 1997. Solid front axles had been present in all 4×4 Toyota models until 1986. In late 1986 for

375-481: A Z24 can reach 160 km/h (100 mph). Toyota Hilux The Toyota Hilux ( Japanese : トヨタ・ハイラックス , Hepburn : Toyota Hairakkusu ) , stylised as HiLux and historically as Hi-Lux , is a series of pickup trucks produced and marketed by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota . The majority of these vehicles are sold as pickup truck or cab chassis variants, although they could be configured in

450-500: A changed grille and a somewhat longer wheelbase of 2,610 mm (103 in), the new B140 series did have the all new G-series engine . The new engine, which it shared with the Cedric , was of nearly exactly the same displacement as the old one, at 1,488 cc, but had 71 PS (52 kW) at 5,000 rpm. Top speed was 95 km/h (59 mph). The B140 was introduced in April 1960, at

525-527: A dual or triple transfer case. This results in a much lower overall gear ratio. It was the first Hilux available with an automatic transmission in that market. In 1981, a vehicle development agreement was established between Toyota, Winnebago Industries and two other aftermarket customisers. This was to allow Toyota to enter the SUV market in North America. The vehicles which resulted from this collaboration were

600-560: A four-door extended cab called "Smart Cab" to replace all Xtra Cab models in E and G grade. The Smart Cab models were developed in Thailand and were only sold in the Thai market. On 13 July 2011, Toyota announced that the Hilux would receive a facelift, including a redesigned front end (front grille similar to IMV-based Innova and Fortuner ) and other external styling changes, changes to the interior and

675-645: A light truck. The OX was only available with a 3.0-litre D-4D diesel engine. A facelifted version of the Hilux was unveiled by Toyota's Malaysian distributors, UMW Toyota Motor, in August 2008. Toyota has introduced a left hand drive Hilux Vigo in August 2008 while a right hand drive facelifted model was introduced in September 2008. These facelifted models were introduced in the Philippines in October 2008. Toyota also introduced

750-496: A live, leaf-sprung design unlike the more car-like type used on rear-wheel drive Hiluxes. Production of the four-wheel drive models stopped in July 1983, but some 2WD variations continued production in parallel with the next generation models. The L series diesel engine was offered on the 2WD variants from September 1979 and also on the 4WD variants beginning in March 1983. In Japan, the Hilux

825-533: A more comfortable interior along with exterior updates. A 2.25 m (7.4 ft) "long bed" was an option for the first time in North American markets, although such a version had been available worldwide since April 1969. This received the "RN25" chassis code. The 2.0 litre 18R engine was available in Japan as well, with a three-speed automatic transmission available as an option. The 2.0-litre automatic model managed

900-529: A new turbocharged diesel engine rated at 107 kW (144 hp) and 343 N⋅m (253 lb⋅ft) of torque, as well as lower fuel consumption compared to the previous model. This update was initially launched in Thailand and later in Australia called as Toyota IMV Project. Nissan SD engine The SD engine was replaced by the Nissan TD engine . It was manufactured by Minsei Diesel Industries , Ltd., which

975-466: A passenger car with the 330-series Nissan Cedric from June 1977. It was also produced in a marine version MN 22 by Chrysler Marine under license during the 1980s. The SD22 was used in the Datsun 720 pickup trucks from 1980 through 1983, where it produced 61 hp (45 kW) ( SAE ) at 4,000 rpm. Like its lesser SD20 relative (but unlike its SD33 six-cylinder derivative) it has three main bearings and

1050-473: A rebadged 4Runner. The Sport Rider frame and suspension system are derived from the Hilux, including the Hilux's independent front suspension and leaf-sprung rear suspension. The vehicles began as four-door pickup trucks and were then modified into wagons on arrival in Thailand by Thai Auto Works Co (a majority Thai-owned company in which Toyota has a 20 percent stake). Engine options for the Sport Rider included

1125-403: A reduction in the number of welded joints with the use of a unified inner frame, it has a higher torsional stiffness while the vertical rigidity is improved by stronger crossmembers . The model also used a new double wishbone front suspension which was said to improve stability and ride comfort. The model is also considerably larger than the previous generation Hilux. For the double cab variant,

1200-505: A station wagon version, but it is doubtful that these were ever produced. There was also an "A-1 class" fire engine called the FR40 . This interesting hybrid combined the 680-series heavy truck chassis, with its 125 PS (92 kW) 4-litre, six-cylinder P engine , with the Junior's bodywork. This was slightly altered to accommodate the considerably taller engine, with higher fenders and an insert in

1275-552: A strong market presence. The Hilux was offered alongside the Toyota Crown , Toyota Corona , and Toyota Corona Mark II based pickup trucks in Japan until 1972, when the Crown, Corona, and Corona Mark II were repositioned as passenger sedans. In spite of the name "Hilux", it was a luxury vehicle only when compared to the Stout . The Hilux was engineered and assembled by Hino Motors to replace

1350-411: A variety of body styles. The pickup truck was sold with the Hilux name in most markets, but in North America, the Hilux name was retired in 1976 in favor of Truck , Pickup Truck , or Compact Truck . In North America, the popular option package, the SR5 (Sport Runabout 5-Speed), was colloquially used as a model name for the truck, even though the option package was also used on other Toyota models, like

1425-469: A water-cooled exhaust manifold and expansion tank is also still available from other manufacturers. Applications: The SD23 is a 2.3 L (2,289 cc) straight four diesel engine with eight valves (two per cylinder), and a distributor type injection pump .

1500-607: Is a 3.2 L; 198.0 cu in (3,245 cc) straight-six diesel engine , most known for its use in the Nissan Patrol MQ (160 series) from 1980-1983 and the Nissan C80. The SD33 produces 95 PS (70 kW) at 3,800 rpm. In a joint distribution venture with Chrysler started in 1969, this engine was marketed as the Chrysler-Nissan CN6-33 for marine use. Chrysler-Nissan engines were also installed in

1575-626: Is called the Stout II. For sales in Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, it was imported from Japan from 1998 through 2004 (petrol engined 2.7 L, and diesel engined 2.8 L). This model was not sold in Argentina or Brazil because the fifth-generation Hilux had received a redesign and upgrade. Options for South American markets included: Toyota shifted production from the Hilux Mighty-X (fifth generation) to

1650-582: Is still in production. Zamyad still using Z24i version of Nissan Z series engine and 2.8 liter Diesel engines. Zamyad also produces a rebodied version of the Z24 called the Shooka. From 2008, Zamyad began using the FAW CA4D28C4-1 diesel engine. This turbocharged 2.8-liter four-cylinder engine is based on Isuzu's 4JB1 engine and produces 93 PS (68 kW) at 3600 rpm and 225 Nm at 2600 rpm. Thus equipped,

1725-468: Is the biggest version of the four-cylinder SD series, with the larger bore and stroke of 89 mm × 100 mm (3.50 in × 3.94 in). It was fitted to Nissan 720 pickup trucks 1983 through 1986 and D21 Nissan pickups (only 1986–1988). In some European markets it was also fitted to the Nissan Urvan and Cabstar. Featured five main bearing crankshaft and redesigned rear main seal. The SD33

1800-604: The B42 -series (the B41 designation was skipped) was introduced, with 57 PS (42 kW) on tap. At the same time, the cabover Junior Caball underwent the same change, becoming the C42 . Various special versions of the first Juniors, such as a panel van , a glazed van (VSB42), a tank truck , and a vacuum car (EGB42) were also offered. While retaining the looks of the B40-series, featuring only

1875-482: The 140(N). Originally, there was also a fire truck version listed, a version with a separate flat bed, and a four-door crew cab ("W-Cab"). For 1979, an improved model, the 141 , conforming to the 1975 exhaust emission regulations, was launched. The H20 engine's output had been down to 92 PS (68 kW) since 1972. This model also has 16 rather than 15-inch wheels, while the wheelbase contracted by 6 cm (2.4 in). Sales in this segment slowed considerably as

1950-562: The 1972 to 1979 Corolla . In 1984, the Trekker , the wagon version of the Hilux, was renamed the 4Runner in Venezuela, Australia and North America, and the Hilux Surf in Japan. In 1992, Toyota introduced a newer pickup model, the mid-size T100 in North America, necessitating distinct names for each vehicle other than Truck and Pickup Truck . Since 1995, the 4Runner is a standalone SUV, while in

2025-473: The 1987 model year, the truck went through a minor interior and exterior redesign, that included a new grille, a new 1 piece front bumper, an updated interior with full high door panels with faux leather stitching on the base and DLX models, the gauge cluster surround was more rounded and featured faux leather stitching on it, the dash pad featured a shorter tray than earlier models, the steering wheels were changed from black to gray, red, brown, or blue depending on

2100-457: The 1991 through 1995 model years were still manufactured in Japan as not all versions were built in California. While the fifth generation Hilux continued to be sold elsewhere in the world until 1997, in North America it was replaced by the new Tacoma after an abbreviated 1995 model year. The Hilux received a minor design update for 1997 and the addition of a few more engine options. The Hilux

2175-421: The 2005 model is 400 mm (15.7 in) longer and 45 mm (1.8 in) wider. The deck is 165 mm (6.5 in) longer and both wider and taller by 50 mm (2.0 in). The increased size was achieved without a significant increase in the kerb weight. Drag coefficient is rated 0.36 (0.39 with over fenders), which was claimed to be "class-leading" during the time of its introduction. In Singapore,

2250-468: The 5L engine for the PreRunner (2WD), the 5L, and the 5L-E engine for 4WD. Toyota introduced the first facelift in 2001 with the 1KZ-TE engine and foglamps integrated with the front bumper, Toyota introduced the second facelift in 2002 with the 1KD-FTV engine for 4WD and the 2KD-FTV engine for the PreRunner (2WD) and 4WD, a new front bumper, new projector-style headlights, and new rear lamps. Toyota discontinued

2325-572: The Australian Hilux 4WD was 130 km/h (81 mph). In North American markets, the Hilux (known as the Pickup) saw the use of four-wheel drive. It had a solid front axle and leaf suspension. The body saw a redesign that included single round headlights and a less complex body. This new 4WD setup featured a gear driven RF1A transfer case. This transfer case is unique in that its low-range reduction portion can be replicated, using what some refer to as

2400-521: The Hilux Tiger (sixth generation) in the late 1990s and made it the global export hub. The Thailand-made Hilux Tiger went through the following versions: Toyota introduced a mid-size SUV variant of the Hilux in 1998. The variant called the Sport Rider was sold only in Thailand. The Sport Rider is based on the Hilux, both in style and underpinnings it is similar in concept to the Toyota 4Runner —however, it's not

2475-463: The Hilux name was fully phased out in favour of "Truck" by that year, having been dropped from brochures and advertising campaigns, starting in 1973. Some North American motor-coach manufacturers began building Toyota motor-homes from the Hilux. Global markets: North American markets: The redesigned Hilux was introduced in August 1978, with a 4WD variant introduced in January 1979. The newer model

2550-569: The Hilux was available as a single cab with the 2.5 L engine or a double cab with the 3.0 L engine. This generation of the Hilux was introduced for Argentina on 2 March 2005 in Buenos Aires with a market launch in April. This generation of the Hilux was also sold in Finland as the TruckMasters OX by Truck Masters Finland. Because of a modified rear suspension, the truck is registered in Finland as

2625-646: The International Scout, until the collaboration ended in 1978. The CN6-33 engines are painted yellow and have "Chrysler Nissan" on the valve covers. The Engine was also used in the UD 3400 series light truck, large forklifts, Marine applications, in International Scout offerings from 1976 to 1979, as well as the Jeep CJ-10/Cj-10A flightline tow vehicles from 1985 to 1986. The Scout-based Monteverdi Sahara

2700-518: The Junior and Miler lines, was introduced in October 1970. While considerably more modern than the 41-series, sales were unsatisfactory and Nissan soon cancelled exports outside of Asia. For sale in the Prince dealerships , this car was also called Nissan Miler . This generation of the Junior had three motors, of which only the petrol ones were offered in the Japanese domestic market: the familiar two-litre petrol version ( H20 ) with 92 PS (68 kW),

2775-434: The Junior received a makeover. Instead of a pressed metal piece between the headlights it had four thick horizontal bars. The lower piece was replaced by a piece with three openings (rather than four) and swept up ends, creating an oval shaped grille rather than the more rectangular early style. The early cars also had an indentation on the top of the front bumper to accommodate an opening for a mechanical crank, but this opening

2850-531: The RN10 in short-wheelbase form with a 1.5 L inline-four engine , generating a maximum power output of 77 PS (57 kW; 76 hp) in Japanese market specification. The vehicle was conceived by Toyota, and was developed and manufactured by Hino Motors at its Hamura Plant . In Japan, it was available at the Toyota Japan dealership retail chains called Toyota Store and Toyopet Store . The modification to

2925-673: The Smart Cab, a four-door cab with hidden rear clamshell doors . The IMV program also spawned the Toyota Innova (AN40) minivan (IMV4) and Toyota Fortuner (AN50/AN60) SUV (IMV5). Mainly developed in Thailand, this seventh-generation Hilux was the first to not be produced in Japan. Hilux models sold in Asian, European, Middle Eastern and Oceanian markets were initially built and assembled in Thailand with targeted annual production of 280,000 units, with 140,000 allocated for exports. Later, production

3000-627: The Sport Rider in 2004 and replaced it with the Toyota Fortuner in 2005. The seventh-generation Hilux (designated the AN10/AN20/AN30), part of the IMV program led by chief engineer Kaoru Hosokawa, started production in Thailand during August 2004. Three pickup truck body variants were initially produced: a two-door Single Cab (referred to by Toyota as IMV1), a two-door Xtra Cab (IMV2), and four-door Double Cab (IMV3). In September 2008, Toyota introduced

3075-535: The Toyota Hilux Mighty-X. The available options for these markets were: In North America, the Hilux continued to be sold simply as the "Toyota Pickup".

3150-540: The Trekker (Winnebago), Wolverine, and the Trailblazer (Griffith). All three used the Hilux 4×4 RV cab and chassis, and an all- fiberglass rear section (the Trailblazer had a steel bed with a fiberglass top). Research and development work on the Trekker led to the development of the 4Runner / Hilux Surf , which was introduced in 1984. Toward the end of the SR5's production run (1983 1 ⁄ 2 model year), Toyota introduced

3225-508: The United Kingdom was based on this generation of the Hilux; in some other markets, such as Japan, it was called the Hilux Surf . In North America, the automatic shifter on 2WD models was relocated to the column. Toyota introduced a new generation of the Hilux in most markets in late 1988 but the fourth generation remained in production until 1997 in South Africa. This was due to South African "content laws" which made it cheaper to continue

3300-563: The Year award that year. The Xtra Cabs now featured more room behind the front seats than the last generation which allowed optional jump-seats for rear passengers, a feature more in line with competitors of the time. In 1991, North American production began at the NUMMI plant in Fremont, California . The Hilux received a minor facelift in 1991 (for the 1992 model year), which was a grille change incorporating

3375-529: The earlier vehicle that the Hilux was derived from, called the Briska in the niche beneath the larger and older Stout – it replaced the Stout fully in some markets. For the North American market, the only body style was a regular cab short bed and all were rear-wheel drive . It used a typical truck setup of A-arms and coil springs in front and a live axle with leaf springs in back. A four-speed manual transmission

3450-545: The eighties approached, as those of cabover trucks increased, and in 1982 the Junior was cancelled without a successor. In 1970 the 140 series Junior was produced under license in Iran by Zamyad Co. in Tehran , Iran . They only produced 2.0 liter models. In 1986 the production line moved to SAIPA Co with using Z24 Nissan engines from Nissan/Datsun 720 Pickups. In 1998 production line moved again to Zamyad Co., where now Nissan Junior

3525-529: The engine was enough for a claimed top speed of 130 km/h (81 mph). The 1.5-litre engine was upgraded to a 1.6 L inline-four in February 1971. In April 1969, a long-wheelbase version was added to the range. The short-wheelbase version also continued in production for many more years. The long-wheelbase version was not sold in the North American market until 1972, allowing the Datsun Truck to maintain

3600-546: The grille underneath the headlamps. The first 40-series cars had a two piece grille painted in white. The top part had seven slim cross bars and three vertical bars, while the wider bottom part had four openings. After 1964, the upper part was chromed and the lower section was painted in body colour. The facelifted cars also had a red "Junior" badge in the grille. Around this time the Q40 , a 70 hp (52 kW) 2.2-litre diesel version ( SD22 ) also appeared. The only external difference

3675-501: The interior colour, the radio bezel was also colour matched to the rest of the interior, the SR-5 tach gauge clusters had the pattern on the face changed from a grid pattern to horizontal lines, the outside door mirrors were also changed to have a more stream lined appearance, the faceplate for the heater controls was also redesigned. A V6 engine was introduced in 1988. The Hilux-based 4Runner which made its entry in Australia, North America and

3750-455: The introduction of the fuel injected 22R-E engine . Two diesel engines were also offered, the 2L and the turbocharged 2L-T. The engines were discontinued in the U.S. after the 1986 model year, this was due to higher performance expectations from customers and the wide availability of inexpensive petrol. The next year saw the introduction of a turbocharged option, the 22R-TE , perhaps due to increasing competition from Nissan who already offered

3825-480: The luxury Mojave trim for the US market as a limited-production (3,500 units) model with options not available on any other Toyota pickup. With a list price of US$ 8,308 (equivalent to $ 25,415 in 2023), it had bucket seats, two-speaker multiplex radio, chrome front and rear bumpers, and deleted Toyota logos on either the grille or the tailgate . Cruise control , power steering, and air conditioning were optional. It

3900-474: The new Toyota emblem that had been recently adopted. It was during this generation that Toyota discontinued the Hilux line in North America (where it was marketed as the "Toyota Pickup"), replacing it with the new Tacoma for the 1995 model year. Volkswagen built and marketed the Hilux under the Volkswagen Taro name from February 1989 to March 1997. This generation of the Hilux was sold in Thailand as

3975-585: The production of the fourth generation of the Hilux, rather than to retool the plant for the fifth generation model. In Thailand, this generation was sold as the Toyota Hilux Hercules/Hero. The next redesign, in 1988, introduced a longer-wheelbase option, 3,099 mm (122 in) rather than 2,616 mm (103 in) for the regular wheelbase. Its one-piece cargo-box walls eliminated the rust-prone seams that were found in earlier models. The V6 Xtracab SR5 earned Motor Trend magazine's Truck of

4050-501: The same engine as other Asian countries (in-line, 4-cylinder, 16-valve, DOHC Turbo Diesel with common rail direct injection), however engines used in Malaysia differ in their maximum output of 75 kW (102 PS; 101 hp) at 3,600 rpm and maximum torque of 260 N⋅m (192 lb⋅ft) at 1,600–2,400 rpm. The ladder frame chassis used by the seventh-generation Hilux is 45 percent stiffer compared to its predecessor. Combined with

4125-721: The same time as the cabover version, the Caball , received the new engine. Soon afterwards, the "Junior" part of the Caball's name was dropped entirely. There was also a 1.25 ton version, usually referred to as the B140 (B). The regular 1.75 tonner was called the B140 (A). Also in 1962, the Junior and Caball were also joined with the Datsun Cablight , an integration from former Japanese automobile manufacturer called Tokyu Kogyo Kurogane which Nissan acquired. The all new second generation 40 -series Junior

4200-625: The same year Toyota introduced the Tacoma to replace the Hilux pickup in North America. Since the seventh-generation model released in 2004, the Hilux shares the same ladder frame chassis platform called the IMV with the Fortuner SUV and the Innova minivan. Cumulative global sales in 2017 reached 17.7 million units. In 2019, Toyota revealed plans to introduce an electric-powered Hilux within six years. The Hilux started production in March 1968 as

4275-409: The upright look of the 40-series. Export versions claimed slightly higher power outputs of 77 hp (57 kW) and 92 hp (69 kW) respectively. In July 1962, a fire truck (F40) was added to the lineup. A naked version with just a bonnet and windshield was called the 40E, a cab with chassis was the 40A, and a dropside pickup version was called 40H. Early catalogs also listed a double cab and

4350-403: Was a form of tariff engineering , allowing Toyota to circumvent the chicken tax , a 25 percent tariff on imported light trucks . By only importing a chassis cab, Toyota only had to pay a 4% tariff. Global markets: North American markets: In May 1972, the 1973 model year Hilux was introduced, designated the RN20. Nicknamed the "RokeHi" (ロケハイ), a portmanteau of "Rocket Hilux", it has

4425-532: Was a small "diesel" badge on the fenders, where 2-tonners carried "1900"-badging. In 1966, the second series became the 41 , its engine upgraded from 1.9 to 2.0 litres ( H20 , 1,982 cc). Top speed with the 92 PS (68 kW) 2-litre was up to 120 km/h (75 mph). The lesser 1.5-litre version was discontinued, while the diesel continued on as the Q41 . Export versions claimed 99 hp (74 kW). The 41 looked just like its predecessor, only with "2000" rather than "1900" badging. By 1967, however,

4500-413: Was also a VB40 Van version offered. The B40 used Nissan's 1.5 L (1,489 cc) "1H" four-cylinder engine. In December 1957, a cabover version of the Junior appeared, the Junior Caball , with chassis code C40 . It was available at Nissan Store locations. At first it had 50 PS (37 kW) at 4,400 rpm, which was enough for a 90 km/h (56 mph) top speed, but in August 1958

4575-422: Was also a new 1.9-litre version which could reach 110 km/h (68 mph). This was the first medium-size truck to be able to carry 2 tons, and featured the same 85 PS (63 kW) 1,883 cc four-cylinder H engine as the 31-series Cedric . The Junior also used the Cedrics headlight surrounds, doorhandles, and various other trim details. Large, sixteen inch wheels and large wheel openings contributed to
