Toyota Hilux

The Toyota Hilux is a five-seat pickup with a 2,755 cc diesel engine and four-wheel drive, sold in Nepal with a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic gearbox. It suits buyers who carry loads on rough roads, farms, and building sites, and who want a pickup that also handles weekend trips into the hills.

Both versions drive all four wheels, and a rear differential lock makes both rear wheels turn together for grip in mud and loose gravel. The manual adds a low range, a set of extra-low gears for slow, steep climbs. The Hilux sits 310 mm off the ground when empty, and its cargo bed measures 1,555 mm long, 1,540 mm wide, and 480 mm deep. Toyota Nepal rates the manual to tow 1,500 kg with trailer brakes, or 750 kg without.

The automatic makes 500 Nm of torque, and the manual 420 Nm, which helps on loaded hill climbs. Both have automatic climate control, leather seats, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, stability control, and hill-start assist, and the 80 L tank covers long stretches between fuel stations. There are three airbags: one for the driver, one for the driver's knees, and one for the front passenger.

The Toyota Hilux is distributed in Nepal by United Traders Syndicate, with prices starting at Rs. 1,49,00,000. Compare the trims in the variants table below.
