The vehicle was conceived by Toyota, and was developed and manufactured by Hino Motors at its Hamura Plant. In Japan, it was available at the Toyota Japan dealership retail chains called Toyota Store and Toyopet Store. The modification to the engine was enough for a claimed top speed of . The 1.5-litre engine was upgraded to a 1.6-litre inline-four in February 1971. In April 1969, a long-wheelbase version was added to the range, followed by box van models in July 1970. in the niche beneath the larger and older Stout – it replaced the Stout fully in some markets. For the North American market, the only body style was a regular cab with a short bed. It used a typical truck setup of A-arms and coil springs in front and a live axle with leaf springs in back. A four-speed manual transmission was standard. Starting in November 1971, final assembly of trucks for the United States market was completed by Atlas Fabricators in Long Beach, California, later renamed Toyota Auto Body California. Trucks were shipped from the factory in Japan as a cab chassis (the entire truck, less the truck bed). When the trucks arrived in the United States, a truck bed would be locally built and attached to the chassis before being sent to dealers. The arrangement was a form of tariff engineering, allowing Toyota to circumvent the chicken tax, a 25 percent tariff on imported light trucks. By only importing a chassis cab, Toyota only had to pay a 4% tariff.

The 2.0-litre automatic model managed a "gentle" top speed in a period road test conducted in South Africa, in spite of a claimed . The Hilux was radically redesigned in 1975 to be larger and with increased standard equipment. In North America, the new version also meant the introduction of the larger 2.2-litre 20R engine and the SR5 upscale trim package. A five-speed manual transmission became optional. In this market, the Hilux name was fully phased out in favour of "Pickup" by that year, having been dropped from brochure, advertising and manual books, starting in 1976 model year. Some North American motor-coach manufacturers began building Toyota motor-homes from the Hilux.

Toyota never offered a factory four-wheel-drive system for this generation of Hilux, Off Road Marketing outfitted two-wheel-drive trucks with all the components necessary for four-wheel-drive. While they did manufacture many of the components themselves most of the major components such as the front axle, leaf springs, and transfer case were "off the shelf" and found on the Jeep CJ and other four-wheel-drive vehicles. The front axle is a Dana 30 (the rear axle remains Toyota), the transfer case is a Dana 20, and the leaf springs are made by Cambria Spring Co. The engine offered is the 2.2-litre 20R paired to a five-speed manual transmission. These trucks were available to be purchased at US Toyota dealerships throughout the country between 1975-1979. The Wolverine ceased production when Toyota began offering a factory four-wheel-drive option in the third generation Hilux.

The four-wheel-drive variant – not offered with any engines smaller than the 2.0-litre "18R" – featured some common technology with the larger Land Cruiser. These were all built on the longer-wheelbase, with either pickup or cab chassis bodywork. Top speed of the Australian Hilux four-wheel-drive was . Production of the N30/40 Hilux stopped in July 1983, but some rear-wheel-drive variations – 1.6-litre petrol and 2.2-litre diesel – continued production for the Japanese market in parallel with the next generation models. It was the first Hilux available with an automatic transmission in that market. The double cab body style was never offered in the United States and Canada until the Hilux was discontinued in these markets in 1995. In 1981, a vehicle development agreement was established between Toyota, Winnebago Industries and two other aftermarket customisers. This was to allow Toyota to enter the SUV market in North America. The vehicles which resulted from this collaboration were the Trekker (Winnebago), Wolverine, and the Trailblazer (Griffith). All three used the Hilux four-wheel-drive RV cab and chassis, and an all-fibreglass rear section (the Trailblazer had a steel bed with a fibreglass top). Research and development work on the Trekker led to the development of the 4Runner/Hilux Surf, which was introduced in 1984. Toward the end of the SR5's production run (1983 model year), Toyota introduced the luxury Mojave trim for the United States market as a limited-production (3,500 units) model with options not available on any other Toyota pickup.

The carbureted 22R engine subsequently became available outside North America, starting in the Middle East in January 1986. In August 1986, the truck went through a minor interior and exterior redesign, that included a new grille, a new 1 piece front bumper, an updated interior with full high door panels with faux leather stitching on the base models, a new steering wheel, the gauge cluster surround was more rounded and featured faux leather stitching on it, the dash pad featured a shorter tray than earlier models, the radio bezel was also colour matched to the rest of the interior, the top model tachometer gauge clusters had the pattern on the face changed from a grid pattern to horizontal lines, the outside door mirrors were also changed to have a more stream lined appearance, and the faceplate for the heater controls was also redesigned. The Hilux-based 4Runner which made its entry in Australia, Americas, Europe and the Middle East in 1984 was based on this generation of the short wheelbase four-wheel-drive N60 Hilux; in Japan, it was called the Hilux Surf. Starting with this generation, the Hilux was officially rebranded as the Truck in North America, however this and the next generation were still commonly referred to as "Pickup" by many users and enthusiasts. Similar to the previous generation, the double cab body style was not offered. Instead, two rear-wheel drive models with longer wheelbases were introduced in 1985 for the 1986 model year, exclusively for this market: a long bed Xtracab model (RN70), which featured a wheelbase longer than the double cab, and a cab chassis (RN75) with dual rear wheels and a wheelbase. this was due to higher performance expectations from customers and the wide availability of inexpensive petrol. The 1986 model year also saw the introduction of a turbocharged 22R-TEC engine option in North America, perhaps due to increasing competition from Nissan who already offered the Hardbody V6 truck at this time. The automatic shifter on rear-wheel drive models was relocated to the column, and optional automatic differential disconnect for the front differential (an alternative to automatic locking hubs). Another North American market special treatment was the replacement of the solid front axle with leaf spring to a double wishbone independent front suspension with torsion bar setup in the four-wheel drive model. From 1987 model year, a 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine was introduced to replace the turbocharged 22R-TEC engine option for the four-wheel drive models. Toyota introduced a new generation of the Hilux in most markets in late 1988 but the fourth generation remained in production until 1998 in South Africa. This was due to South African "content laws" which made it cheaper to continue the production of the fourth generation of the Hilux, rather than to retool the plant for the fifth generation model. Despite this, the South African market Hilux was upgraded with a 2.8-liter 3L diesel engine from the next generation in 1995. In Thailand, this generation was sold as the Toyota Hilux Hercules/Hero.

A wide range of models were available (excluding the double cab model available internationally), mixing four- and six-cylinder engines, long and short beds, regular and Xtracabs, manual and automatic transmissions, and two- or four-wheel-drive. The cargo capacity was typically for two-wheel drives and for four-wheel drive models. GVWRs ranged from . however some trucks sold in the United States during the 1991 through 1995 model years were still manufactured in Japan as not all versions were built in California. The VIN on NUMMI-made trucks began with '4T' while Japanese-made ones started with 'JT'. While the fifth generation Hilux continued to be sold elsewhere in the world until 1997, in North America it was replaced by the new Tacoma after an abbreviated 1995 model year. == Sixth generation (N140, N150, N160, N170, N190; 1997) ==

The truck underwent a facelift in 2001 for the 2002 model year, featuring a more rounded fascia. The Prerunner package (N190 series) — a medium-wheelbase rear-wheel-drive model equipped with the suspension setup from the four-wheel-drive variant — became available for the first time. For the European, Thai, and Malaysian markets, the turbodiesel engines were replaced by the DOHC KD series turbodiesel engines. Additionally, the V6 engine made a comeback in 2002 with the arrival of the 3.4-litre 5VZ-FE engine, though it was offered exclusively for the Australian four-wheel-drive models. In 2004, Toyota ceased production of the Hilux truck for the Japanese market, however it remained in production for export markets for a few years. This was the last generation of the Hilux to be built in Japan; production for international markets was moved to Thailand starting in 2004.

This variant was sold only in Thailand, where it was also built. In style and execution, the Sport Rider is similar to the 4Runner. The Sport Rider frame and suspension system are derived from the medium-wheelbase four-wheel-drive Hilux Tiger, including the Hilux's independent front suspension and leaf-sprung rear suspension. The vehicles began as four-door pickup trucks and were then modified into wagons on arrival in Thailand by Thai Auto Works Co (a majority Thai-owned company in which Toyota has a 20 percent stake) and distributed by Toyota Tsusho Thailand to Toyota dealers in the country. Engine options for the Sport Rider included the 3.0-litre 5L engine for the PreRunner (2WD), while the 3.0-litre 5L or 5L-E engines were available for the 4WD model. Toyota introduced the first facelift in 2001, adding the 3.0-litre 1KZ-TE turbodiesel engine for the 4WD variant, eliminating the base 5L engine and a new front bumper with integrated foglamps. In 2002, Toyota introduced a second facelift with the 3.0-litre 1KD-FTV engine for 4WD and the 2.5-litre 2KD-FTV engine for the PreRunner (2WD) and 4WD models, a new front bumper, a new grille, new projector-style headlights, and new rear lamps.

Three pickup truck body variants were initially produced: a two-door Single Cab (referred to by Toyota as IMV1), a two-door Xtra Cab (IMV2), and four-door Double Cab (IMV3). In September 2008, Toyota introduced the Smart Cab, a four-door cab with hidden rear clamshell doors. The IMV program also spawned the Toyota Innova (AN40) minivan (IMV4) and Toyota Fortuner (AN50/AN60) SUV (IMV5). Primarily developed in Thailand, it was the first generation of the Hilux to not be produced in Japan. Later, production was delegated to Malaysia and Southeast Asia in order to increase sales in those regions. The ladder frame chassis used by the seventh-generation Hilux is 45 percent stiffer compared to its predecessor. Combined with a reduction in the number of welded joints with the use of a unified inner frame, it has a higher torsional stiffness while the vertical rigidity is improved by stronger crossmembers. The model also used a new double wishbone front suspension which was said to improve stability and ride comfort. The model is also considerably larger than the previous generation Hilux. For the double cab variant, the 2005 model is longer and wider. The deck is longer and both wider and taller by . The increased size was achieved without a significant increase in the kerb weight. Drag coefficient is rated 0.36 (0.39 with over fenders), which was claimed to be "class-leading" during the time of its introduction. This generation of the Hilux was also sold in Finland as the TruckMasters OX by Truck Masters Finland. Because of a modified rear suspension, the truck is registered in Finland as a light truck. The OX was only available with a 3.0-litre D-4D diesel engine.

The front was redesigned from the A pillar forwards. With the exception of the doors, roof and tailgate, everything else was new: new guards, new headlights, new bumper, new bonnet, new three-bar grille, new taillights, a new rear bumper and new badges. There were also new mirrors and new alloy wheel designs. The interior features a new upper dashboard design with a new horizontal centre instrument cluster. Perceived quality was improved through the adoption of uniformly darker finishes with greater colour consistency throughout the interior. The high-end Double Cab version now came with a DVD player, rear camera and Bluetooth functionality. This minor update upgraded the emission standard to Euro 4, updated the four-speed automatic transmission to five-speed, upgraded power rating of the 3.0-litre model from , increased torque from for the five-speed automatic transmission, and the Smart Cab Prerunner 4×2 was introduced with automatic transmission.

It was the first of the Toyota IMV family to receive a new generation, with the related Fortuner and Innova receiving new generations in July and November, respectively. In some Asian markets such as Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Pakistan, the model also adopted a new moniker, Hilux Revo. The model was subsequently introduced in the Philippines in July 2015, Mexico and GCC countries in August 2015, and Argentina and Brazil in November 2015, while in Europe specifications were unveiled in September 2015 for a mid-2016 market introduction. Introductions of the model in more markets started in 2016. In March 2016, the model was released in South Africa, where it is also produced. In Malaysia, it was launched in May 2016, while in Pakistan it was launched in September 2016. The eighth-generation Hilux features the "Keen Look" design language with a slimmer headlight shape (with optional projector headlights and LED daytime running lights). This design continues into the interior with similar AC vents and centre fascia design, which has been described as more "car-like". File:2016 Toyota HiLux Invincible D-4D 4WD 2.4 Rear.jpg|2016 Hilux Invincible (GUN125; pre-facelift) File:2018 Toyota HiLux Invincible X facelift Interior.jpg|Interior Development Development of the vehicle was led by Hiroki Nakajima as chief engineer, who visited 120 countries during its development. It was reported that in 2011, Toyota started over on the new Hilux just six months into development due to the release of the Volkswagen Amarok and Ford Ranger, which reset Toyota's benchmark for "car-like driving". Toyota President and CEO Akio Toyoda personally intervened to set the Hilux on a new development path. Toyota stated the eighth-generation Hilux received larger cabin space in the front and rear with extra shoulder room, extra head room, higher seat height and larger rear knee room. It also featured a broader seat adjustment range and a larger fuel tank. It is also equipped with rear air vents as an option, making it one of the few pickups in its segment with rear air vents at the time of its launch. The front bumper has a bigger bulge to meet new pedestrian safety regulations, while the lower section of the front bumper has been shaped to ensure the Hilux is more agile than its predecessor in off-road conditions. In the Middle East, the Hilux received an optional steel front bumper. The approach angle is 31 degrees and the departure angle is 26 degrees, compared to the previous 30 and 23, respectively. The stronger FIRM (Frame with Integrated Rigidity Mechanism) makes use of high-tensile strength steel and more spot welds. The improved body structure is said to yield lower noise, vibration and harshness levels. It is also equipped with a newly developed Dynamic Control Suspension system and Body Control with Torque Demand. Three different suspension setups are available for the Hilux for different markets. Vehicles destined for Australia, South Africa, Russia and South America receive an Australian-developed heavy-duty suspension setup that offers improved off-road performance, better vibration suppression and improved roll stiffness. Vehicles sold in Thailand receive a comfort-biased setup due to the large market of pickup trucks for personal use. The third suspension setup is a general setup that is "suited to all road conditions the world over." The suspension setups consist of front double wishbone with a thicker front stabiliser bar and rear leaf spring configuration. Australia During its introduction in Australia, the eighth-generation Hilux was offered with 31 variants, eight more than its predecessor, with 4×2 and 4×4 single, extra and double cabin styles, and WorkMate, SR and SR5 grade levels. Four engine options are offered in the market, ranging from the 2.4-litre turbo-diesel, 2.8-litre turbo-diesel (with different outputs for both 4×2 and 4×4), 2.7-litre petrol and 4.0-litre V6 petrol, and continues to be imported from Thailand. In January 2018, Toyota introduced the Hilux Rugged X, Rogue and Rugged variants which were fully designed, developed and engineered in Australia. Based on the double-cab 4×4 Hilux, the three variants are targeted towards "urban adventurers" with off-road related changes and additions. The 2020 facelift was presented in August, which also introduced upgraded diesel engines and Toyota Safety Sense. In September 2022, the Hilux Rogue received upgrades such as wider tracks and fenders, larger 18-inch wheels, rear disc brakes replacing drum brakes and larger front brake discs. It also gained extended front suspension arms, a lengthened rear axle, revised rear dampers, and a rear anti-roll bar, which are claimed to increase the vehicle's roll rigidity by 20 percent. In January 2023, the GR Sport model became available in Australia with a different styling compared to the Hilux GR Sport in other markets, by sharing many elements with the Hilux Rogue. Powered with the 2.8-litre diesel engine, it received engine upgrades, heavy-duty suspension, wider fenders and wider track.

The Hilux has often been described as having a high level of durability and reliability during sustained heavy use or even abuse. This reputation was highlighted in several episodes of the BBC motoring show Top Gear. In series 3, episodes 5 and 6, a 1988 diesel N50 Hilux with on the odometer was subjected to considerable abuse, including being left on a beach for the incoming tide, left on top of a building as it was demolished, and being set on fire. The Hilux suffered severe structural damage, but was still running after being repaired with only the typical tools that would be found in a truck's toolbox (with the exception of a replaced windscreen for the driver's safety). In later series, this Hilux became one of the background decorations in the Top Gear studio, and is now on display in the "World of Top Gear" exhibit at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu. In the later series 8, episode 3, a Hilux was chosen by Jeremy Clarkson as his platform for creating an amphibious vehicle (though by the end of that episode the Hilux failed to start), and in the Top Gear: Polar Special Clarkson and James May raced a specially modified 2007 model Hilux to the magnetic north pole from North Canada – making that truck the first motor vehicle to have made that journey. The camera crew's vehicle from this episode was later modified and driven to near the summit of the Eyjafjallajökull erupting Icelandic volcano by James May, in Series 15, Episode 1. In 1999, the Hilux appeared in a series of "Bugger" television advertisements in New Zealand and Australia, exaggerating its power and durability for comic effect. The adverts were banned in New Zealand after receiving 120 complaints, but later reinstated. A world record was achieved by the support crew for the participants in the 2008/2009 Amundsen Omega 3 South Pole Race. The crew traveled in specially adapted Toyota Hiluxes modified by Arctic Trucks, completing a trip of over from Novo, a Russian Scientific Station in Antarctica to the Geographic South Pole and back again, making them the first 4×4s to reach the South Pole. The return journey of from the South Pole to Novo Station was completed in a record 8 days and 17 hours. Racing car Two Hilux pickups entered the Dakar Rally in 2012, prepared by the Imperial Toyota team of South Africa. Driver Giniel de Villiers achieved third place in the 2012, second place overall in the 2013, 4th in the 2014, and again second place in the 2015. These however, were heavily modified non-production versions built around a custom racing-only tubular chassis and using a larger capacity Toyota V8 engine. Since 2016, the Dakar Rally Hilux has been prepared by Toyota Gazoo Racing WRT. Giniel achieved third place with it in 2016, 5th in 2017, 3rd in 2018 and 9th in 2019. Nasser Al-Attiyah won the 2019 Dakar Rally, earning the first ever Toyota victory in the Dakar Rally, he also came in second in 2018 and 2021. In the 2020 Dakar Rally, six Hilux cars were entered prepared by Gazoo Racing, and another nine by Overdrive Racing. A new, wider, heavier, featuring larger wheels Toyota GR DKR Hilux T1+ was built by Gazoo Racing for 2022 Dakar Rally, equipped with 3.5-L twin-turbo V6 engine, based on Toyota Land Cruiser 300 GR Sport. Non-Standard Tactical Vehicles installed, and add-on armour at front and side; used as special reconnaissance vehicle by the Indonesian Marine Reconnaissance Battalion. While not standard issue, various countries including the US military, particularly Special Operations forces, have used Toyota Hilux vehicles for various purposes. They are often acquired as technical vehicle or Non-Standard Tactical Vehicles (NSTVs) and modified for specific missions. These vehicles are favoured for their reliability, ease of maintenance, and ability to operate in diverse environments. Use by militant groups machine gun used by the Kurdish YPG militia Due to its durability and reliability, the Toyota Hilux, along with the larger Toyota Land Cruiser (J70), has become popular among paramilitary groups in war-torn regions as a technical. According to terrorism analyst Andrew Exum, the Hilux is "the vehicular equivalent of the AK-47. It's ubiquitous to insurgent warfare." In 2015, US counter-terror officials inquired with Toyota how the Salafi jihadist extremist group Islamic State had apparently acquired large numbers of Toyota Hiluxes and Land Cruisers. Mark Wallace, the CEO of the Counter Extremism Project said, "Regrettably, the Toyota Land Cruiser and Hilux have effectively become almost part of the ISIS brand." The Toyota War between Libya and Chad in 1986 and 1987 was named as such because of the heavy, successful use of Hilux and Land Cruiser trucks for technicals. == Notes ==
