What is the boot size of the Hilux?
There isn’t a single boot size for the Hilux because it’s a pickup with a cargo bed rather than a traditional enclosed trunk. In most recent double‑cab Hilux models, the standard bed is about 1,520 mm long (roughly 5 feet), and a longer bed option is typically around 1,780 mm (about 5 feet 10 inches). The cargo volume generally sits in the range of roughly 1,000 to 1,200 liters, depending on bed length, model year, and market.
Understanding the Hilux cargo area
The Hilux’s primary storage space is its open cargo bed, not a traditional boot. Bed length, width, and depth can vary by generation, cab configuration (Double Cab vs. Extra Cab), and market. When you’re shopping for a Hilux, the most reliable way to know the exact cargo capacity for your needs is to check the official specs for your country and the specific model year.
Bed length options by configuration
The figures below reflect common configurations in recent Hilux models, but exact measurements can differ by market and generation. If you need precise numbers for a particular vehicle, consult the official brochure or a Toyota dealer.
- Standard bed (typical for Double Cab in most markets): about 1,520 mm long
- Long bed option (where offered): about 1,780 mm long
Bed length options determine how long a load you can fit and influence overall cargo versatility. When choosing between bed lengths, consider both load length and vehicle maneuverability.
Cargo capacity by bed length
With the bed length in mind, the approximate cargo volume also varies. The figures below are typical ranges for recent Hilux generations and may differ by market and year.
- Standard bed: roughly 1,000 liters of cargo space behind the tailgate
- Long bed: roughly 1,200 liters of cargo space behind the tailgate
These estimates assume typical bed shapes and do not account for accessories, tie-downs, or wheel-well intrusions. For exact values, refer to the official specifications for your specific Hilux model and market.
Notes on measurement and variants
- Cab configuration (Double Cab vs. Extra Cab) affects bed length availability and overall cargo dimensions.
- Market and model year can change the bed options offered and their precise measurements.
- Some markets offer additional bed features or tie‑down systems that can impact usable space.
In short, the Hilux’s “boot size” is best described as the cargo bed’s length and volume, which vary by configuration and market rather than a fixed trunk capacity.
Summary
The Hilux does not have a fixed boot size. Typical configurations offer a standard cargo bed around 1,520 mm long, with a long-bed option near 1,780 mm, translating to about 1,000–1,200 liters of cargo space depending on configuration and year. For exact figures, check the specifications for your specific market and model year, or ask a Toyota dealer.
