2019 Toyota Hilux

Built for Sunshine Coast tradies, contractors, rural operators and adventurous buyers who need a dependable workhorse with room for five, a practical fitted tray and the toughness to keep going when the job takes you off the bitumen.

The HiLux WorkMate uses Toyotas dependable 2.4L four-cylinder turbo-diesel producing 110kW and a strong 400Nm. Matched to a 6-speed automatic, it delivers useful low-down pulling strength for loaded driving, steep Hinterland roads and moving confidently between Sunshine Coast job sites.

The five-seat Dual Cab lets you bring the crew along while the fitted tray provides the versatility to handle toolboxes, building materials, landscaping gear and bulky equipment. The factory cab-chassis carries an approximately 1,085kg payload rating before the weight of the fitted tray and accessories.

Need to bring more gear to the job? The automatic 4x4 WorkMate is rated to tow up to 3,000kg braked, making it a capable partner for work trailers, machinery, boats and campers. Trailer Sway Control adds extra reassurance when youre hauling a substantial load behind you.

Selectable high- and low-range four-wheel drive gives the HiLux genuine capability when worksites become muddy or weekend tracks turn rough. With approximately 279mm of ground clearance and a 700mm wading depth, its well prepared for rural properties, construction sites and off-road adventures beyond the sealed roads of the Sunshine Coast.

Air conditioning, cruise control, Bluetooth connectivity, USB input and a colour multimedia display keep everyday driving straightforward, while an 80L diesel tank and 8.6L/100km combined consumption provide useful working range. Seven SRS airbags, stability and traction control, Hill Start Assist and Trailer Sway Control add reassuring protection for work and everyday duties.
