UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has introduced new accessories for the Toyota Hilux pick-up truck and Sienta MPV.
For the current generation double cab truck, there’s a TRD aerokit priced at RM4,800 including GST and installation. The five-piece kit consists of a front grille, front lower bumper cover, over fenders, skid plate and shift knob. Owners the top Hilux 2.8G also have the option of adding TRD 18-inch alloys with exclusive wheel nuts at extra cost.
Tailgate Assist for the Hilux (current and 2005-2016 generation) has been developed in response to customer feedback, which showed a request for easier opening and closing of the truck’s tailgate. Toyota’s engineers have designed an additional spring/damper unit which can “reduce” the heaviness of the tailgate by up to 95%. The damper also controls the opening speed so that the tailgate does not swing right down. It is priced at RM985 and installation can be done at UMWT service centres.
Another interesting accessory is a built-in SmartTAG unit. This RM329 item consists of a Touch n Go card reader, which can be placed in the centre console, and an antenna/transmitter that is stuck on the windscreen. The card reader is powered by the vehicle’s battery, and when the stored value in the card is RM10 or less, it sounds a warning beep. The custom SmartTAG can be easily installed in all current Toyota models as well as previous generations of certain models.
For the Sienta, a RM2,950 aerokit adds on a front bumper spoiler and side skirts. Current owners of the Hilux and Sienta can have the new aerokit via retrofitting – enquire at your Toyota dealership. All the above accessories come with a warranty covering manufacturing and installation defects for three years or 100,000 km, whichever comes first.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Smart tag? Seriously? I thought Govt wanted to implement RFID soon, and toyota bring this to customers..
RFID for current only can use in kl, out of kl only can use touch n go or with smart tag
Almost RM1K to install a hydraulic strut and a spring when you could easily ask an accessory shop to do the same thing under RM100. Want to see the bodohs to would spend the money for this.
What?? built-in Smart-tag unit RM329??
Not just any capalang unit, ok? It’s Toyota-branded, to appeal to brand snobs among us. Good resale value for the Smart Tag unit guaranteed, maybe.
Good Move UMW… Strongly believe your sales will increase by introduce of “custom integrated Smart Tag” day dreamer
Smart accesories make life convenient. Go Toyota!
wow, integrated Smart TAG system! #barulaSMART
I thought the new toll system will do away with Touch n Go and Smart Tags?
This is one of the way to get rid of old stocks ma.
Trial implementation in Jan 2018 for certain vehicles. Fully implement takes time to roll out, just like current cashless tolls.
Been using that Integrated Smart Tag for quite a while now. Works well and have yet encountered any issues at the toll booth.
Afraid to buy Hilux as it may get stolen:(
Toyota really desperate for sales, and bankrupt of ideas oredi…..
Kesian…
Next round, they give free maggi noodle…..

Great wall already got built in smart tag
