Now based on the IMV Platform, the Hilux now boasts a larger profile, more power due to its CRDi engines, and brought in a rare gasoline engine from the Fortuner. The common rail injection technology was the first among rivals, which prompted Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Ford, and Nissan to launch theirs later on.
