During the mids the Hilux was discontinued in the USA as smaller pickup trucks struggled to sell, instead, Toyota focused on their Tacoma model in that region. The truck had an incredible reputation for being indestructible with British motoring magazine Top Gear performing elaborate stunts to prove its toughness, such as destroying a building with the truck parked on top of it.

It was originally classed as a compact pickup truck but in was reclassed as a mid-size version due to increased comfort and safety equipment fitted. If you take a look back at the models on sale in the s and s you will find that they were marketed with smaller displacement engines. Over the years the company uprated the engine size to help the growing pickup take on more cargo and increased number of passengers as the cab size grew too.

In the Hilux reached a new record, selling over half a million units worldwide, an impressive figure considering they pulled the model out of the North American region. This model was an example of the recent introduction of the seventh generation in with a wide range of economic as well as powerful engines.
