How much is a new Hilux truck?
Prices for a new Toyota Hilux vary by market and trim, but generally start in the low-to-mid tens of thousands of the local currency and can rise into the mid-to-high five figures in higher trims. Note that the Hilux is not sold new in the United States; the Tacoma serves that market instead.

Note on the United States market
The Toyota Hilux is not sold as a new model in the United States. Buyers in the U.S. typically purchase the Toyota Tacoma, which serves a similar purpose but is a distinct model with its own pricing. Importing a Hilux can incur additional duties and compliance costs, making the price differ substantially from other markets.
That US-market distinction is important when considering global price comparisons.
What drives price and value
The price of a new Hilux is influenced by several factors, including engine and drivetrain, cab configuration, trim levels, included technology, and local taxes. The following list highlights the main drivers:
- Engine and drivetrain: diesel versus petrol, 4WD versus 2WD, and transmission option (manual vs automatic).
- Cab style and bed length: double cab (crew cab) versus extra cab; longer beds often add cost.
- Trim level and features: basic WorkMate versus SR, SR5, or premium variants with leather, advanced safety tech, and larger infotainment systems.
- Market-specific taxes, duties, and on-road costs: VAT/GST, import duties, registration, and destination charges.
- Promotions and financing: dealer incentives, warranties, and optional accessories can alter the out-the-door price.
Understanding these factors helps buyers compare prices across markets and trims, and budget for on-road costs and extras.
Buying tips to get the best price
Before heading to a dealer, consider these strategies to maximize value when buying a Hilux:
- Compare regional prices and look for timing-based promotions or end-of-quarter incentives.
- Assess whether a new-but-not-latest-year model or a demonstrator offers better value for your needs.
- Calculate total cost of ownership, including fuel, insurance, maintenance, and depreciation.
- Ask for a clear breakdown of on-road costs and what warranties or service plans are included.
- Test multiple trims to ensure you’re paying for features you will actually use.
By researching prices, negotiating effectively, and understanding local taxes, buyers can secure a better deal on a new Hilux.
Summary
The Toyota Hilux continues to be a top choice in markets where it is sold, with prices varying widely by country, trim, and options. In the United States, prospective buyers won’t find a new Hilux; the Tacoma is the equivalent model. For precise pricing, consult Toyota’s official regional sites or local dealers, and factor in on-road costs and promotions that can shift the final out-the-door price.
