The grille and fog lights have been redesigned in a new style, more sturdy and stronger than the previous generation. However, only the Rocco and PreRunner versions receive this change.
The Japanese automaker offers several different versions of the 2018 Hilux, with key differences in equipment and accessories. Customers can choose from premium features such as LED headlights, fog lights, push-button start, cruise control, electric driver's seat, 7 airbags, electronic stability control, etc.
The most advanced version is called Hilux Rocco, equipped with many unique accessories. This is the double cabin version, 2.8 liter engine, 4x2 or 4x4 drive, 177 horsepower at 3,400 rpm and maximum torque of 450 Nm in the range of 1,600-2,400 rpm (6-speed automatic) or 420 Nm at 1,400-2,600 rpm (6-speed manual).
The Hilux Rocco comes standard with new styling decals, 18-inch wheels, off-road tires, and black leather interior. Meanwhile, the other 2018 Hilux versions use fabric seats.
In addition to the top-end version, the 2018 Hilux also has 2.4 and 2.7 engine options. In the Thai market, the car is priced from 21,700 USD for the standard Revo version. The high-end Hilux Rocco version has a starting price of 34,700 USD.
