The Toyota Hilux is a name that resonates throughout the pick-up truck world, with a history that dates back to 1968 and over 18 million vehicles sold. However, while the Hilux has certainly had its strengths across its eight generations, it has occasionally missed the mark in key areas.
One of those areas has been the lifestyle sector of the market, which has become increasingly important in recent years. These buyers aren't just looking for a few extra creature comforts and visual upgrades, but also for a powerful engine. Unfortunately for Toyota, they're up against rivals that excel in all of these areas, such as the Land Rover Defender and Ford Ranger Raptor.
To address this issue, Toyota introduced a 2.8-litre diesel engine to the latest Hilux in late 2020. Prior to this update, the Hilux was only available with a single 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine option that produced a mere 148bhp. This was a significant drawback, especially considering that in 2019, 70% of UK pick-up truck sales were for models with at least 175bhp, with many of Toyota's rivals pushing well beyond 200bhp.

Toyota Hilux Towing Review
The Toyota Hilux is well-known for its ruggedness and reliability, but it hasn't always had the brawn of competitors like the Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok when it comes to towing. However, with the latest addition of a 2.8-liter engine, the new Hilux has gained some serious muscle.This engine boasts 204hp and 369lb ft of torque, resulting in a 0-62mph time of just 10.1 seconds - an improvement of 2.7 seconds over the previous 2.4-liter engine. While sprint times may not be the be-all and end-all for towing, this increase in pulling power should make towing a heavy caravan much easier.
To put it to the test, the Hilux was loaded an Adria Isonzo 613 DT caravan with 180kg of ballast, bringing the total weight to over four tonnes. The tested version was the the six-speed automatic transmission, which allows for the maximum torque figure of 369lb ft.
While acceleration wasn't lightning-fast, the Hilux performed well overall, and held 60mph even on motorway inclines, although it occasionally dropped to fourth gear. At the legal limit, the Hilux was stable, but passing larger vehicles did cause some slight swaying. Overall, with its added power and torque and the increased Hilux towing capacity makes this pickup a strong contender for anyone looking for a reliable and capable vehicle for towing heavier loads.
