Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this 1981 Toyota
Hilux
HISTORY
The Toyota Hilux (also stylized as HiLux and historically as
Hi-Lux) is a series of light commercial vehicles produced and
marketed by the Japanese automobile manufacturer Toyota. The
majority of these vehicles were sold as pickup truck or cab chassis
variants although they could be configured in a variety of body
styles. Most countries used the Hilux name for the entire life of
the series but in North America, the Hilux name was retired in 1976
in favor of Truck, Pickup Truck, or Compact Truck. In North America
the popular option package, the SR5 (Sport Rally 5-Speed), was
colloquially used as a model name for the truck, even though the
option package was also used on other Toyota models like the 1972
to 1979 Corolla. In 1984, the Toyota Trekker, the camper version of
the Hilux, was renamed as the 4Runner in Australia and North
America, and as the Hilux Surf in Japan. In 1995, Toyota introduced
a new pickup model, the Tacoma in North America, thus discontinuing
the Hilux/Pickup. The 4Runner is now a full SUV, and the more
recent models of the Hilux are separate in appearance to the
Tacoma.
