TRD 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 speedometer

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 convenience

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 Bluetooth™* Handsfree Capability and stylish Optitron speedometer.

exterior

Uniquely Australian design by TRD

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 exterior styling

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.

Sporty 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 and Handling

TRD Performance 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 all terrain tyre 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).

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.

Towing and load capacity

No matter where the road takes you, the new TRD HiLux can be relied upon to carry heavy loads. Built for strength, the TRD HiLux has a braked towing capacity of 2250kg, and an unbraked capacity of 750kg#. The instant engine response with an impressive low-down torque gives extra strong pull for extra heavy loads, giving you power when you need it most.
