HiLux was one of the best pickup-truck in the world.
It made its name based on reliability and endurance. It was, virtually, impossible to destroy a HiLux under normal operating conditions.

The 2015 model had to come on the market with new engines and new technologies. Despite its abilities to climb and haul and tow, it had a big downside: the slow engine mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission whereas other manufacturers offered up to 8-speed automatic transmission.

On the outside, the HiLux adopted a new front fascia, to make it more fashionable. But the single cab version was not about fashion. It was more about robustness and it was supposed to be a true workhorse. But Toyota said that it is perfectly ok to look good on the job with a pickup truck.

Inside, there were only two seats and some room to store the hi-lift and some tools. There were more trim levels, and the top had a 7” infotainment unit with navigation and backup camera. The bottom though, in Single Cab version, didn’t have an air-conditioner. But that was the least requested version of the car.

The Single Cab was available as a 4x4 or a 4x2, the latter being used mostly for hauling up to one tone. In some countries, the single cab was available only as a 4x2.
