Toyota HiLux: payload, towing and specs
18 variants in our database, from $45,990 to $82,990 list.
The Toyota HiLux is a two, four- and five-seat ute, from $45,990 to $82,990 list, rated to tow up to 3,500kg. Readers weighing it up usually also look at the GWM Cannon Alpha, Mazda BT-50 and Isuzu D-Max.

What each variant can actually carry
Worked out for a typical touring load: two people, 150kg of gear and 150kg of accessories. “Spare payload” is what is left after that. “Max trailer” is the heaviest trailer that load still allows, which is usually well under the headline towing rating because GCM and towball weight both take their cut.

Compare the Toyota HiLux
Pick a rival. Bars are scaled to the highest figure among this vehicle and the 10 rivals listed above, so the longest bar on each row is the best of that group rather than simply the better of two.
Comparing the SR5 with the Lux PHEV. Each model is represented by the variant nearest its own median price, so every figure in a column comes from the same vehicle rather than the best one of each. See the full line-up.

Fuel and touring range
The official ADR 81/02 figure is measured unladen, at low speed, on smooth tarmac. We lift consumption by 40 per cent to allow for the weight, the all-terrains, the bar and the dirt, then divide what is usable in the tank by that — leaving 5 litres in it, because planning to run a tank dry is how you end up walking. Where we have measured a vehicle ourselves we use our own figure instead. A plug-in hybrid’s claim assumes a full battery, which is gone within the first hour of a long drive, so it gets multiplied by five rather than 1.4.

Can it clear the gaps?
Against the longest stretch between fuel on each leg, using the SR5’s touring range of 724km — which already allows for a loaded 4WD and leaves 5 litres in the tank. Carrying fuel changes everything below; so does a headwind, soft sand and a heavy right foot.
