TOYOTA CONNECT REWIND
IT’S BEEN 50 YEARS SINCE THE FIRST HILUX PICK-UPS ARRIVED IN SOUTH AFRICA. HALF A CENTURY AND EIGHT GENERATIONS LATER, IT’S WORKED ITS WAY FIRMLY INTO OUR HEARTS AND IS CONSIDERED MZANSI’S MOST LOVED BAKKIE.
3RD
GENERATION
In 1979, the choice widened further with buyers able to choose from a range of
seven derivatives. Two ‘fi rsts’ included a 4x4 model and a 2.2-litre diesel engine.
1ST
GENERATION The basic 1.5-litre short wheelbase
model was an attractive alternative to the larger Australian and American pick-ups. Within months of the fi rst units going on sale, the Hilux was the pick-up of choice in South Africa.
7TH
GENERATION The seventh-generation Hilux was
a milestone series for South Africa, as it gave rise to the Fortuner as well as the Hilux Dakar campaign.
4TH
GENERATION
In 1984, Hilux was the fi rst double cab 4x4 to be off ered locally. Family
recreational users could now enjoy the versatility of a light pick-up.
2ND
GENERATION
In 1973 the second generation Hilux was introduced in SA. The
range provided a choice of four models either powered by a 1.6 litre or a 2.0 litre engine.
6TH GENERATION
After 21 years in the market, the luxury specifi cation Raider models were
introduced to the range, positioning Hilux as a true multi-purpose vehicle.
54
2016-PRESENT
The eighth-generation Hilux made its debut and the brand’s status as our favourite all-terrain, all-
purpose tougher-er vehicle remains unchallenged. It was voted ‘Best Commercial Vehicle’ in The Star
Readers’ Choice 2018, while the double cab version was named the best pre- owned car in its segment. The Hilux recorded average sales of more than 3 000 units a month for 2018.
