The Toyota Hilux is a series of compact pickup pickups yielded plus advertised by the Japanese maker Toyota. Many nations chosen the Hilux name for the whole lifetime of the series in North America, the Hilux name was retired inside 1976 inside prefer of Truck, Pickup Truck, or Compact Truck. In North America the favored way package, the SR5, was colloquially utilized because a model name for the truck, despite that the possibility package was moreover selected about different Toyota models like the Corolla. In 1984, the Trekker, the camper variation of the Hilux, was renamed because the 4Runner inside Australia plus North America, plus because the Hilux Surf inside Japan. In 1995, Toyota introduced a hot pickup model, the Tacoma inside North America, discontinuing the Hilux/Pickup there. The 4Runner is today a full SUV, as well as the more latest models never resemble the Tacoma.

As of 2014 the Toyota hilux is accessible internationally, except Japan, United States, Canada, North Korea, plus South Korea
The redesigned Hilux was introduced inside August 1978, with a 4WD variant introduced inside Jan 1979. The 4WD variant – not available with any machines small than the two-litre "18R" – showcased several normal development with all the heavier Toyota Land Cruiser. Production of the four-wheel forces stopped in July 1983, however certain 2WD variations continued in parallel with all the upcoming generation. The L series diesel engine was available found on the 2WD variants from September 1979 as well as the 4WD variants inside March 1983. In Japan, the Hilux was joined with all the all unique Toyota MasterAce, sharing load carrying responsibilities, plus available at Toyota Store places alongside the Hilux.

In North America the Hilux saw the utilization of four-wheel drive. It had a strong front axle plus leaf suspension. The body saw a redesign which included single round headlights along with a less complex body. This brand-new 4WD setup showcased a gear driven RF1A transfer case. This transfer case is specific because its low-range reduction part is replicated, utilizing what certain refer with because a double or triple transfer case. This results inside a much lower total gear ratio. It was the initially Hilux accessible with an automatic transmission.

In 1981 a car development agreement was established between Toyota, Winnebago Industries plus 2 different aftermarket customizers. This was with permit Toyota with enter the SUV marketplace inside North America. The cars that resulted from this collaboration were the Trekker, Wolverine, as well as the Trailblazer. All 3 utilized the Hilux 4×4 RV cab plus chassis, plus an all-fiberglass back section. There were at minimum 1,500 Trekkers, 400 Trailblazers plus an unknown amount of Wolverines available inside North America. Research plus development function found on the Trekker led with the development of the 4Runner/Hilux Surf, that was introduced inside 1984.

Toward the finish of the SR5's manufacturing run, Toyota introduced the deluxe Mojave for the US marketplace because a limited-production model with choices not accessible about any alternative Toyota pickup. List priced at US$8,308, it showcased bucket seats, two-speaker multiplex radio, chrome front plus back bumpers, plus no Toyota logo about either the grille or tailgate. Cruise control, force steering, plus air conditioner were optional. It was driven by the SR5's standard 2.4 L inline 4.

The August 1983 redesign introduced the Xtracab, two-row extended cab way. These "1984" models carried over the carbureted 22R engine when model year 1984 equally saw the introduction of the gas injected 22R-E. Two diesel machines were additionally available, the 2L as well as the turbocharged 2L-T. The diesels were discontinued inside the U.S. following the 1986 model year, this was due with high performance expectations from buyers as well as the broad accessibility of inexpensive gasoline. The upcoming year saw the introduction of the turbocharged choice, the 22R-TE, maybe due with improving competition from Nissan whom absolutely available a V6 truck at this time. The strong front axle was swapped out for an independent front suspension/torsion bar setup inside the 4×4 model inside 1986, plus optional automatic front locking hubs plus an electronic transfer case was added too. A V6 engine was introduced inside 1988. The Hilux-based 4Runner that prepared its entry inside Australia, North America as well as the UK was based about this generation Hilux; inside other markets, including Japan, it was called the Hilux Surf.

Toyota introduced a brand-new generation of the Hilux inside many markets inside late 1988 however the 4th generation stayed inside manufacturing till 1997 inside South Africa. Toyota claims this was due with South African "content laws" that created it cheaper with continue with provide the 4th generation Hilux, instead of with retool the plant for the fifth generation.
Four-by-four pertains with the general class of cars. The initially figure is usually the total wheels, as well as the 2nd, the amount which are driven. Syntactically, 4×2 signifies a four-wheel car which transmits engine force with just 2 axle-ends: the front 2 inside front-wheel drive or the back 2 inside rear-wheel drive.

Whenever powering 2 wheels simultaneously the wheels need to be permitted with turn at different speeds because the car goes about curves. This really is accomplished with a differential. A differential enables 1 input shaft with drive 2 output shafts independently with different speeds. The differential distributes torque evenly, whilst distributing angular velocity these which the average for the 2 output shafts is equal to this of the differential ring gear. Every driven axle needs the differential with distribute force between your left as well as the appropriate sides. When all 4 wheels are driven, a 3rd or 'center' differential is employed with distribute energy amongst the front as well as the back axles.

The described program handles very perfectly, because it happens to be capable to support numerous forces of movement plus distribute force evenly plus smoothly, creating slippage unlikely. Once it does slip, yet, healing is difficult. If the left front wheel of the 4WD car slips about an icy patch of road, by way of example, the slipping wheel may angle quicker than the additional wheels due with the lower traction at which wheel. Since a differential applies equal torque with every half-shaft, energy is reduced at the alternative wheels, whether or not they have advantageous traction. This issue could result inside both 2WD plus 4WD cars, when the driven wheel is located about a surface with small traction or raised off the ground. The simplistic shape functions acceptably effectively for 2WD cars. It is a lot less acceptable for 4WD cars, considering 4WD cars have twice because several wheels with that to get rid of traction, improving the likelihood it could result. 4WD cars could furthermore be more probably with drive about surfaces with reduced traction. But, because torque is split among 4 wheels instead of 2, every wheel receives around half the torque of the 2WD car, reducing the possible for wheelslip.

Even though inside the general context, the expression "four-wheel drive" commonly pertains with an ability a car can have, it is actually moreover chosen with designate the whole car itself. In Australia, cars without substantial off-road abilities are usually called All-Wheel Drives or SUVs, when those with off-road abilities are called "four-wheel drives". This term is often moreover chosen inside North America, somewhat interchangeably for SUVs plus pickup pickups plus is occasionally mistakenly used with two-wheel-drive variants of these cars.

The expression 4×4 was used with describe North American military four-wheel-drive cars because early because the 1940s, with all the initial amount indicating the total amount of wheels about a car as well as the 2nd indicating the amount of driven wheels. Today, the expression 4×4 is usual inside North America, plus is usually chosen whenever advertising a unique or utilized car, plus is occasionally used because badging about a car built with four-wheel drive. Similarly, 4×2 will be appropriate for many two-wheel-drive cars, plus is usually chosen with describe them because a two-wheel drive. In Australia the expression is usually utilized with refer with a ute which sits high about its suspension. This really is with avoid the confusion which the car may be a 4×4 considering it appears otherwise suited with off-road applications.

Large American pickups with double wheels found on the back axles plus 2 driven axles are officially designated because 4×4s, despite having six driven wheels, considering the "dual" wheels behave because a single wheel for traction plus category reasons, plus are not individually driven. True 6x6 cars with 3 driven axles including the well-known M35 2½ lot cargo truck chosen by the U.S. Army has 3 axles, all them driven. This car is a true 6×6, because is the Pinzgauer, that is favored with protection forces about the world.

Another associated expression is 4-wheeler. This usually pertains with all-terrain cars with 4 wheels, plus refuses to indicate the amount of driven wheels; a "four-wheeler" could have two- or four-wheel drive.

The upcoming redesign, inside 1988, yielded a longer-wheelbase choice, 3,099 mm instead of 2,616 mm for the standard wheelbase. Its one-piece cargo-box walls eliminated the rust-prone seams which were found inside earlier models. The V6 Xtracab SR5 earned Motor Trend magazine's Truck of the Year honor which year. The Xtracabs today showcased more space behind the front seats than the last generation that permitted optional jump-seats for back travelers, a feature more inside line with competitors of the time.

In 1991, American creation started at the NUMMI plant inside Fremont, California, still certain pickups available inside the United States throughout the 91–95 model years were nonetheless produced inside Japan.

The Hilux received a minor facelift inside 1991, that became a minor grill change as well as the unique Toyota emblem which had been lately adopted.

It was throughout this generation which Toyota discontinued the Hilux inside the United States, changing it with all the fresh Tacoma inside 1995.

In Malaysia, the Hilux is just obtainable in 2.5 L with all the choice of single cab or double cab. The double cab model has an automatic transmission variant. It utilizes the same engine because alternative Asian nations, yet motors utilized inside Malaysia vary inside their maximum output of 75 kW at 3600 rpm plus maximum torque of 260 N·m at 1600–2400 rpm.

In Singapore, the Hilux is accessible because a single cab with all the 2.5 L engine or perhaps a double cab with all the 3.0 L engine. But, the motors are integrated Japan rather of Argentina. Notable fleet clients include private taxi providers, for who the double cab model has more weight area versatility, as well as the Singapore Police Force plus Pakistan Police, that uses it because a patrol car.

The Hilux is integrated Guangqi Toyota Automobile inside Guangzhou for the Chinese marketplace. The models for China is four.0 L with all the way of single cab or double cab. It utilizes the same engine because Australia, still machines selected inside China has been tuned as much as the maximum output of 246 kW at 6500 rpm plus maximum torque of 405 N·m at 4000 rpm, plus is mated with a 5-speed automatic transmission. China is truly the only Asian nation with receive the V6 engine.

A Hilux entered inside the 2012 Dakar Rally by the Imperial Toyota team of South Africa managed with capture 3rd area despite having small modifications within the creation model plus being up against factory supported groups.

The team travelled inside especially modified Toyota Hilux's modified by Arctic Trucks, completing a trip of over 5,000 km from Novo, a Russian Scientific Station inside Antarctica with the Geographic South Pole plus back, creating them the initially 4×4s with reach the South Pole. The return journey of 2,500 km within the South Pole with Novo Station was completed inside a record 8 days plus 17 hours.

A team of specialist motorists employ Toyota Hiluxes for a precision driving show throughout Australia. The Toyota Hilux Heroes started inside 2007 plus have been entertaining millions of spectators at different agricultural shows plus engine sport occasions. The Hilux's are 2007 petrol V6, 4×2 models plus have custom shock absorbers, a custom exhaust, sports seat, racing harnesses, a roll cage plus 16 inch alloy wheels fitted. Performance features include significant speed drifting, close formation driving, cross overs, a 12 metre ramp jump plus balancing a Hilux about 2 wheels all choreographed into a 15 minute show.

A 4th generation Hilux is moreover the car mode for the Transformers Autobots Trailbreaker plus Hoist.

The Hilux has gained a standing for exceptional sturdiness plus dependability, even throughout sustained thick employ and/or misuse, plus is frequently called "The Indestructible Truck". This was further reinforced found on the BBC motoring show Top Gear, whenever a 1988 diesel Hilux with 305,775 km found on the odometer was subjected with extraordinary misuse. This consisted of driving it down a flight of procedures, scraping buildings, crashing headlong into a tree, being washed out with sea, plus being submerged inside sea water for 4 hours, driving it by the garden lose, dropping a caravan onto it, hitting it with a wrecking ball, setting its cabin plus bed location about fire, plus, finally, placing it over a 73 m block of apartments which was upcoming ruined with a building implosion. Although it was today experiencing serious structural damage, the truck was nevertheless running following being repaired without spare components, plus with just typical tools which will be found inside a truck's toolbox, like screwdrivers, engine oil, plus an adjustable wrench.
