Refreshed Toyota Hilux already kitted out in range of accessories...

Published by Ryan Bubear

 

The facelifted Toyota Hilux fitted with accessories offered in Thailand.

 

Toyota in Thailand has already listed a range of accessories for its facelifted (more powerful) Hilux, handing the bakkie upgraded exterior styling.

 

Listed on Toyota Thailand’s website, the accessories include a range of chrome-effect pieces, such as a (Hilux-branded) strip for the grille and shiny trim for the headlamps, foglamps, taillamps and tailgate.

 

The bakkie’s front skidplate can furthermore be fitted with new decorative trim (in either red or silver), an effect repeated at the peak of the wheel arches and along the vehicle’s doors.

More powerful just whats needed here ????

Just read the full article and wonder why, when I bought my Vigo in 2012, I didn't ask for a the filler cap to be polyurethane coated. Damn!

I  bought a  new  pick up 18  months ago and found  the hilux  rather  dull and boring, this  looks  better physically. Does  look a bit like the Fords grill though.

Pity Chevrolet closed at least there was some variation in the dullness.

Looks even more like 'Design by Dyson'.

But is it real polyurethane, or just carbon fibre made to look like polyurethane?

Why do we get all the scrag ends. The US TRD Camry have a real engine  and a little one too if you wish, all Bells n Whistles can be ordered on the Trucks and SUVs, they give you a spec list to tick what you want.. 

From the front it looks as bad as the new Mitsu, accident damaged....????

Every farmer should have one. Perfect for city traffic too.

looks  to  me  like  a  whale  shark

What is going wrong in the Toyota design department? That is hideous like many other current Toyotas. For main stream vehicles, all new Toyotas sold in Thailand looked quite nice 10 years ago.

Way to small for 2020. Why, it still only takes up one lane of the road ! Preposterous.

Needs to be a good four feet wider and two feet higher with enough ground clearance for an average soi do to walk under without getting a greasy head.

Same as with the new Mitsu's ... they all look like a living room cupboard on wheels now , Ugly , the designers should be fired ...

Wish they would offer full size 4 door pick ups here with real engines like they do in the US.

These are all like toys

Many moons ago a good friend who was a Toyota dealer in Europe, told me that in Japan cars get taxed on the width of the vehicle.

 

The Toyota's here are the same models as for the Japanese market I believe

Wish I could bring my 2019 4Runner TRD over here from the US. It makes the Fortuner look small.

BMW's here are almost 3 times the price as you can buy in the US, same as BMW, and Audi.

Thailand gets the cheaper options than most other countries to keep the price lower.

A case in point look at the Ford Raptor... USA you get the real deal and all the options, Thailand you get the baby version, just the Ford Ranger with a bit more plastic and paint details.

But the box mine came in said Ford Ranger Raptor, not Ford Raptor.

 

I can also recommend Top Charoen if it helps you out

That was my meaning, you get the baby Ranger dressed up with Raptor spray logo and a bit of plastic, but none of the toys..

You can't get a Ford 150 RAPTOR over here.

 

And thanks I don't nee glasses either!

 

 

OK....but still looks ugly!
