SPECIFICATION SUMMARY
Click here for TRD Hilux Specs and Brochure (PDF)

INTERIOR

Styling


The new TRD HiLux is rugged on the outside, but certainly not 
on the inside – with a range of stylish interior features. Inside 
the TRD HiLux 4000S, you'll find signature grey seats – and 
black leather inside the TRD HiLux 4000SL. You'll also find a
leather sports shifter, a coloured leather steering wheel, silver 
instrument cluster bezel and even TRD floor mats. The TRD 
HiLux 4000SL model also boasts a smooth-sided rear-deck, 
carpeted floor, TRD carpet floor mats and stylish Optitron speedometer.

 
     

Leather Steering Wheel


A sophisticated, duo-toned leather steering wheel provides 
enhanced grip and handling, and lends a luxurious feel to the 
interior. In each model, the grey and red coloured wheel has a 
TRD-embossed logo.

 
     

Optitron Instrument Panel


React to conditions in a split second, with this sporty 
instrument cluster providing enhanced visibility. Also, with the 
multi-information display, you can get all the information you 
need at a glance – including fuel range and consumption, 
driving time and even average speed.

 

 
     

Comfort and Convienence

A range of features make riding inside the TRD HiLux an 
absolute pleasure. You'll enjoy the safety of dual SRS airbags – 
as well as air conditioning, a sports leather shifter, cruise 
control, an MP3-compatible CD player with audio input, 
coloured leather steering wheel, silver instrument cluster bezel 
and TRD floor mats. The TRD HiLux 4000SL model also boasts 
a leather seat trim, carpeted floor covering, TRD carpet floor 
mats, a 6-CD in-dash charger with Bluetoothâ„¢* Handsfree 
Capability and stylish Optitron speedometer.

 

 

 

 

 

EXTERIOR

Uniquely Australian Design


The new TRD HiLux is undeniably good looking, and proudly 
Australian – with a wider, lower stance that makes it ideal for 
the rugged outdoors. Distinctive fog lamps on the 4000SL, 
together with metallic black bumper accents, show off the 
vehicle's strong and sturdy character. The TRD signature black 
mesh radiator grille adds a robust element – and the side steps 
proudly feature the Toyota Racing Development (TRD) logo.

 

 

TRD Bodykit


Whether for hard work or even harder play, the TRD HiLux can 
help you get the job done. Both the 4000S and the 4000SL 
models include a range of sporty features, including 
over-fender flares, a black TRD sports bar, black mesh radiator 
grille, sports front bumper and side steps with the TRD logo. 
You'll also find a unique body-coloured rear bumper, 
blacked-out B-pillar, multi-reflector headlamps and unique 
TRD graphics.

 

 
 

17" Alloy Wheels

You'll turn heads wherever you go – with stylish, 17", 6-spoke 
alloy wheels on both the 4000S and the 4000SL models. These 
newly designed wheels have been designed to enhance both 
the performance and the style of the vehicle.

 

 
 

SAFETY
Unique TRD Sports Suspension

The TRD HiLux isn't just all about power. It has agility too. 
The chassis package was designed to bring together seemingly 
contradictory goals: superior levels of ride, handling and 
braking, 4x4 off road capability, and commercial sports truck 
functionality – with no compromises along the way. The 
springs have been re-tuned, and the reduction in suspension 
height delivers greater overall stability. Specially-developed 
Bilstein monotube dampers have been placed at the front and 
rear, and have been fitted with 17" diameter alloy wheels and 
all terrain tyres. The high-performance Bilstein dampers have 
been tuned for flat roll control, good isolation and maximum 
tyre contact - giving you better grip and control in any 
situation. The increased tyre diameter also ensures off-road 
clearance is maintained.

 

 

 

Intelligent 5-speed gated Automatic Transmission


No matter what conditions you're driving in, the new TRD 
HiLux makes it easy to adjust – with an intelligent, five speed 
automatic transmission, along with gated shift. While you 
drive, the vehicle collects a whole range of data – regarding 
the opening angle of the throttle, vehicle speed, engine speed 
and even from brake signals. This data allows the in-built 
Toyota A750F Super Electronic Control Transmission to "read" 
terrain and road conditions. Then, you have the benefit of 
intelligent shift technology, which works in conjunction with 
your linkless electronic throttle to shift your driving regime 
according to road conditions and individual driver behaviour. 
So it's always a smooth ride.

 

 

TRD Wheel and Brake Package


As well as boasting a new, fitter look, the TRD HiLux's new 
wheel and tyre package makes for a smoother, sturdier ride. 
The unique 17" alloy wheels feature 265/65 R17 all terrain 
Bridgestone tyres.

 

Upgraded Brake Package


The TRD HiLux's brake package has been specially developed 
for maximum performance and confidence – in all conditions 
on-road and off-road.
It includes 338 x 28mm ventilated front brake rotors with 
four-piston callipers - which help maintain the vehicle's 
direction and control in the event of heavy braking. For added 
control and safety, the new TRD HiLux also features an 
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).

 

 
 

MECHANICAL

225kW supercharged 4.0 litre Quad Cam V6 engine


When you hit the accelerator of the new TRD HiLux, you'll be 
in awe of its rapid responsiveness and performance. It is, after 
all, Toyota's first Australian supercharged commercial vehicle 
and it's the most powerful HiLux ever. Under the hood, you'll 
find a 4.0L V6 engine which boasts an impressive 225kW of 
power at 5,400rpm, and 453Nm of torque at 2,800rpm thanks 
to the Eaton® M90 supercharger. In fact - at just 1,200rpm, 
the TRD HiLux engine actually matches the 376Nm peak 
torque of the naturally aspirated HiLux engine. To enable such 
low torque and rapid acceleration, the engine of the new TRD 
HiLux features an Eaton® M90 supercharger with a Magnuson 
housing, regulated by a water-to-air intercooler. When 
compared to the standard HiLux V6, the new TRD HiLux boasts 
around 25% more power, and a more impressive fuel economy 
of 12.9 litres for every 100km*.

*Fuel consumption and emissions tested to ADR81/01 under 
controlled factory conditions. Actual fuel consumption and 
emissions may vary depending on driving style and conditions.

 

 


 
 

Auto Disconnecting Differential (4000SL only)


Now you can drive smoothly and confidently, no matter what 
the conditions are like on the outside. The powerful, new TRD 
HiLux 4000SL model is equipped with Dual-range 4-wheel 
drive, along with Toyota's Automatic Disconnecting Front 
Differential (ADD), which allows for on-the-move shifting 
between 2- and 4-wheel drive modes. This means you can 
rapidly adjust your control and grip on terrain, without 
needing to come to a stop.

 


 
 

Eaton® M90 Supercharger

To minimise lag and maximise acceleration, the grunty engine 
of the new TRD HiLux boasts an Eaton®M90 supercharger. 
Unlike a turbocharger – which is driven by exhaust gases, this 
evolutionary M90 supercharger is connected to the crankshaft 
by a belt. It provides improved horsepower and torque at 
lower engine rpms, by pumping extra air into the engine in 
direct relationship to crankshaft speed – which yields an 
instant response. The Eaton® M90 Supercharger also boasts 
an innovative, self-contained lubrication system – unlike a 
turbocharger, which utilises engine oil.
