What is the size of a Hilux fuel tank?
The standard fuel tank size for most modern Toyota Hilux models is 80 liters (about 21 US gallons). However, exact capacity can vary by model year, market, and trim, so it’s best to verify for your specific vehicle.
Typical capacity in current Hilux models
Here is a quick overview of the main tank sizes you’re likely to encounter on recent Hilux pickups. Sizes refer to the main fuel tank; some configurations may differ by country or trim.
- 80 liters (approximately 21.1 US gallons) — standard for most current double-cab Hilux variants across many markets.
- 75–78 liters — observed on certain older generations or specific trims/regions where tank capacity varies by spec.
- Optional or regional variations — in some markets, a different main tank size or a secondary/auxiliary tank may be offered; confirm local specifications for exact figures.
Because tank capacity can differ by year, region, and variant, always check the official specifications for your exact vehicle, such as the owner’s manual or the window sticker. Your Toyota dealer can also confirm your VIN’s precise tank size.
How to verify the exact capacity for your Hilux
To determine the precise fuel tank size for your specific Hilux, use the following steps.
- Check the owner’s manual, which lists the official fuel tank capacity for your model year and trim.
- Look at the placard on the driver’s door jamb or the fuel-filler door; some markets print the capacity there.
- Retrieve the exact spec sheet using your VIN through Toyota’s official portal or by asking a dealership.
- If you’re unsure, contact your local Toyota dealer with your VIN to confirm whether an auxiliary tank or regional variant affects capacity.
Having the exact figure helps with planning range, refueling stops, and fuel economy expectations for your Hilux.
Practical considerations
Real-world range depends on driving conditions, payload, and whether an auxiliary tank is installed. Fuel-sipping driving, carrying heavy loads, or off-road use can significantly affect how far you can travel on a full tank.
Summary
For most modern Toyota Hilux models, the standard main fuel tank is 80 liters (about 21 US gallons). Variations do exist by model year, market, and trim, and some configurations may include optional auxiliary tanks. Always verify your vehicle’s exact capacity using the owner’s manual, a dealer, or official VIN-based specifications.
