The 5th Generation Toyota Hilux Pickup is nearing 30 years of age and still to this day ranks highest on the list of most desirable truck to own. Even when compared with newer generations of Toyota Pickups the 5th gen is by far the most sought after as it is the embodiment of what a truck should be. With the ultra durable and dependable 3L Diesel Motor paired to a 5 speed manual transmission, Selectable High and Low Transfer Case modes, 4WD, manual front locking hubs, and Double Cab configuration, this Hilux is regarded as the Holy Grail combination by enthusiasts worldwide.
As mentioned above, the “3L” is a 2.8 Liter Naturally Aspirated Diesel motor that is highly respected due to its time tested reliability. Although not the highest in HP, the 3L will outlast even the newest generation Toyota pickups. There are numerous examples of the LN107 putting up more than a million KMs and it stands as a true testament to Toyota’s commitment to producing the most durable vehicles on the market. Mated to the 5 Speed transmission, this motor sends its power to either its rear wheels, or all 4 with the help of the selectable transfer case. The manual front locking hubs provide a fail-safe in the worst of conditions, ensuring that you’re never left stranded.
The exterior, finished in the eye catching Blue Grey Metallic color code still shows brightly under light, and is in overall great condition. While there are a few minor dings and scratches, most notably in the bed, we must remember that this is a utilitarian vehicle and is built to be put to work. As part of our service, we have installed 4 brand new General Grabber ATX All-Terrain tires that enhance the rugged look of this example, but also provide extra traction both on and off road. The OEM Rain Guards and Side Steps are in great condition, with no cracking or major blemishes present.
While the SR is regarded as the basic trim, it still has more features than absolutely necessary. This example has cold A/C and hot heat, tilt steering wheel, cloth seats that have great cushion, manual crank windows, manual idle up control, slide open rear window, and a two speaker factory radio. Although the interior is in overall great condition, we would like to note a small tear in the drivers seat, and passenger rear seat. The previous owner installed a fitted set of Langley floor mats to protect the carpet, which still remains in great condition with no stains or tears.
A timeless addition to the Toyota line, this truck has only 36,650 original miles, granting it unicorn status as this is perhaps one of the lowest mileage examples left worldwide. Whether you’re looking to add to your collection, or are seeking a reliable work-horse, this is the last pickup you will ever need to buy.
