TRD Hilux Pics


Recommended Posts



It was pretty Lame, and TMC didnt do it any favours by sticking it in the back corner where everyone walked past it....

I can back that up since I got there at 4:30 to take pics of cars, and didn't even notice the TRD Hi-Lux while getting TRD Aurion pics....which was right next to it :unsure:

Its performance credentials might be ok but I think it's very underdone in the looks department. When I think TRD hilux, I imagine something like the ones used by top gear to reach the North Pole. Big Wide Guard extentions and very big wheels and tyres. Despite the engine, I would rather get a lower spec Hilux and add a nice set of wheels than get this.

Slippy, Corolla is the top selling model in Australia, but Hilux is the top selling model in QLD which is why they did the TRD Hilux launch at the Brisbane show.

^+1 I agree, looks as if TRD just added some decals replaced the front bumper and slammed in a supercharger...

I would love for someone to shave off the door handles, bag it so that its stomach touches the floor and add some big a$$ wheels. I wanna see a TRD Hilux throwing sparks!

I don't see the point in lowering a Hilux. A body lift is what you want :D

It has a different front bar to the other models but the rest of the car visually looks the same. Mag wheels that look like hub caps and the interior is the same as the other models apart from the leather trim and TRD logo embossed into them.

Definately needs 2 tone colour scheme(red/silver) with big rims (20's) and nice wide street rubber. More colour and differences in the interior and a few extra gauges on the dash.

A car like this is more likely to stay on the streets than go offroad so why not give it a bit more street cred and lose the 4wd idea and run with the mini truck theme.

Then if they sell well do a 4WD version with big flares on the wheel arches and big off road rubber not crappy looking factory rubber.

Northy at least the Mitsubishi stand was "easy" on the eye. :toast:

And the VW stand was full of beautifull looking blue cars of which we drooled over for about an hour....

This is exactly the reason why it's poor marketing... They're torn between two target markets!!!!!!!!!!!! Offroaders vs. Truckers
