Length: 5,325 mm
At over 5.3 meters, the Hilux is a commanding presence. This length is optimized to accommodate the Double Cab interior while maintaining a generous rear cargo deck. This footprint provides the stability needed for highway driving and high-speed towing.
Width: 1,855 mm
The width of 1,855 mm ensures a spacious shoulder room for three adults in the rear of the Double Cab. It also contributes to the vehicle's "planted" feel during cornering, reducing body roll despite the vehicle's height.
Height: 1,815 mm
The height of the Hilux allows for a high seating position, offering a "command view" of the road. It also ensures significant head clearance for occupants, even when wearing helmets during off-road or industrial work.
Wheelbase: 3,085 mm
The 3,085 mm wheelbase is a critical factor in the Hilux's ride quality. A longer wheelbase helps bridge road imperfections, leading to a less "choppy" ride when the bed is empty, which has historically been a critique of leaf-sprung trucks.
Ground Clearance: 310 mm
With a class-leading ground clearance of 310 mm (unladen), the Hilux can navigate deep ruts and rocky paths that would stop most SUVs. This is complemented by an approach angle of 29 degrees and a departure angle of 26 degrees.
Kerb Weight: 2,110 kg
The Hilux weighs in at approximately 2,110 kg. This weight is a result of its high-tensile steel ladder-frame chassis, which provides the rigidity needed for extreme durability. The weight distribution is biased toward the front when empty, but levels out under load.
Turning Radius: 6.4 meters
Despite its length, the Hilux maintains a turning radius of 6.4 meters. While larger than a standard sedan, it is competitive for a pickup truck, allowing for relatively easy maneuvering in tight job sites or urban parking lots.
