What is the tare weight of a Toyota HiLux?
The HiLux does not have a single tare weight figure. The unladen (tare) or curb weight varies by model year, trim, cab style and drivetrain. In recent generations, the typical curb weight sits roughly between 1.8 and 2.15 metric tons, with 4x4 variants toward the higher end. For an exact figure, consult the specific brochure or the VIN-based specification for your vehicle.
In automotive terms, tare weight is the weight of the vehicle without payload. Toyota’s official specifications are generally published as curb weight, which includes standard fluids and equipment but excludes passengers and cargo. Because Hilux configurations differ by market, year and equipment, the exact tare weight can vary even within a single generation.
Current range and configuration factors
What drives the variance
Below are approximate curb weight ranges for commonly sold HiLux configurations in recent years. The precise number for your exact vehicle may differ based on engine, drivetrain, cab style, trim level and market.
- 2WD (two-wheel drive) diesel double‑cab variants: approximately 1.8–2.0 metric tons
- 4WD (four-wheel drive) diesel double‑cab variants: approximately 2.0–2.15 metric tons
These figures are indicative and intended to illustrate the general range. For a precise weight, refer to the official specifications for your exact model or check the vehicle’s door‑jamb sticker.
How to verify the exact weight for your vehicle
To confirm the tare (curb) weight for your specific HiLux, use these steps: consult the official brochure or your market’s Toyota website for the exact configuration, check the weight label on the driver’s door jamb or in the glovebox when available, or ask your dealer with your VIN. The label will list the curb/unladen weight for the exact setup.
Summary
There is no single tare weight figure for the Toyota HiLux. The unladen weight varies by generation, engine, drivetrain and cab configuration. Typical curb weights for current models range from about 1.8 to 2.15 metric tons, with 4x4 variants heavier than 2WD ones. Always verify the exact number for your vehicle using official specifications or the door jamb VIN sticker, especially when calculating payload or towing capacity.
