2023 Toyota Hilux

A standout choice for Sunshine Coast tradies, 4x4 enthusiasts and touring families who want the involvement of a proper manual gearbox, 3.5-tonne towing strength and the comfort and equipment of the SR5.

Toyotas proven 2.8L four-cylinder turbo-diesel produces an impressive 150kW and 420Nm when paired with the 6-speed manual transmission. With maximum torque available from just 1,400rpm, it provides strong low-down response and excellent driver control for towing, loaded workdays and challenging off-road terrain.

Whether youre hauling a caravan, boat, camper or substantial work trailer, the SR5 manual is rated to tow up to an impressive 3,500kg braked. Trailer Sway Control adds extra reassurance, making this HiLux equally at home hauling equipment during the week or heading away for a big Queensland adventure.

Selectable high- and low-range four-wheel drive gives the SR5 proper off-road credentials, while a locking rear differential helps maximise traction when conditions become loose, muddy or uneven. Approximately 216mm of ground clearance and a 700mm wading depth add further confidence on rural properties, Hinterland tracks and rough campsites.

The spacious Double Cab provides seating for five while retaining a practical rear tub for tools, camping gear, bikes and everyday cargo. Combined fuel consumption as low as 7.7L/100km combines with an 80L diesel tank to provide excellent touring potential between fuel stops.

The SR5 steps up with 18-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting, smart entry and push-button start, climate control and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Toyota Safety Sense adds Pre-Collision Safety, Active Cruise Control, Lane Departure Alert and Road Sign Assist, giving this rugged 4x4 plenty of useful technology for everyday driving.
