Toyota Hilux – pickup since 1968, known for durability: chassis-code generations from RN and LN to KZN models, 1.6- to 4.0-litre engines, including the Hilux Surf off-road variant
The Hilux has been Toyota's rugged mid-size pickup since 1968, further cemented as near-indestructible by a BBC Top Gear durability test in 2003; since the 2000s it has been built mainly in Thailand for the world market. The model designations in the register carry Toyota's internal chassis codes: RN denotes the four-cylinder petrol engine, LN the naturally aspirated diesel, YN the larger petrol engines, and KZN the 1KZ-TE turbodiesel; alongside these is the Hilux Surf, an off-road variant built on the same chassis and sold in North America as the 4Runner. 4WD versions are a constant part of the line-up.

The register lists 167 versions with power outputs from 46 to 126 kW and displacements from 1,580 to 3,969 cm³. Unladen weights range from 1,020 to 2,510 kg, permissible gross weights from 1,860 to 3,482 kg, widths from 1,580 to 2,150 mm; length figures are only recorded for a smaller share of the models.
Alongside the Ford Ranger and Mitsubishi L200, the Hilux is regarded as one of the most durable pickup ranges, used in agriculture and construction as well as, in armed variants, by aid organisations and armed forces.
On used examples, important points are rust on the ladder frame, especially on the cross-members behind the cab, the condition of the transfer case and hubs on 4WD versions, the injection pump on older diesel models, corrosion on the load bed, and, on vehicles with military or commercial use, the history of previous owners.
