2017 Toyota HiLux with TRD accessories
Yesterday’s Toyota Hilux Tonka Concept was pretty cool, but let’s face it – not a lot of us have the means to dress up a pick-up truck in quite the same manner. For a more attainable off-road-ready look, Australians can now turn to the Toyota Racing Development (TRD) appearance package for the Hilux, incorporating 15 new components – seven of which are from the in-house tuning company. The kit is available only with the top-spec SR5 trim level, and comes with either black or white paint.
Most of the new bits are at the front, where you’ll find a honeycomb grille, a protective bumper cover and a red skid plate. Matte black fender flares provide a more muscular appearance, while black plastic side mouldings, a black sports bar and 18-inch six-spoke alloy wheels complete the look.
On top of that are additional accessories such as a towing kit (including a tow hook and wiring harness), bedliner, soft tonneau cover, tail light covers and TRD mudflaps. Inside, there are TRD-branded floor mats and a TRD gearknob for models with an automatic transmission.
These go on top of the standard specification of the SR5 model, including self-levelling LED headlights, keyless entry, push-button start, climate control, cruise control, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a multifunction steering wheel and a touchscreen navigation system with DAB digital radio, Bluetooth, Toyota Link connectivity and a reverse camera.
Safety-wise, the Hilux SR5 comes with seven airbags, stability control, trailer sway control, hill start assist and hill descent control. Also equipped is a rear locking differential and an electronic transfer case. Power comes from a 2.8 litre 1GD-FTV turbodiesel engine producing 177 PS and 450 Nm of torque with a six-speed automatic transmission, or 420 Nm with a six-speed manual.
Pricing for the Hilux with TRD accessories starts at A$58,990 (RM199,400) for white paint and A$59,540 (RM201,300) in black. Automatic models cost A$2,000 (RM6,800) more.

MY GAWD!! Hilux for 200k when it only cost 90k here with all the basher reasons! Aussie must surely be a phail economy according to basher logic.
200k is more due to unfavourable currency exchange with our weak ringgit. Furthermore all the TRD parts are expensive. Trucks here are tax-free anyway just incurring GST. Can’t compare truck prices to cars’.
But but but thats what us bashers used to do comparison when bashing MY!
Us bashers never see that we use diff spec, trim, accesso… oh wait..
Because to protect the junk class Proton, all cars we used here are inferior.
LOL when converted cheaper than M’sia said that Malaysian’s tax too high.
When expensive, said that RM weaker.
solution = go migrate
