What size are Hilux door speakers?

The typical diameter for Toyota Hilux front-door speakers is 6.5 inches (165 mm), and in many double-cab models the rear doors use the same size. Exact sizes can vary by year, market, and trim, so always verify your specific vehicle.


In practice, Hilux door speaker sizes are generally aligned around 6.5 inches for both front and rear doors, but some markets and earlier trims used smaller 5.25-inch (133 mm) speakers or other variations. To confirm for your exact vehicle, check the OEM specifications for your VIN or measure the existing speaker diameter after removing the door panel.


Common sizes you may encounter


Below are the sizes most likely to appear in Hilux door assemblies. Variations exist by market and model year, so treat this as a guide and verify on your own vehicle.



  • Front doors: commonly 6.5 inches (165 mm) in diameter. Some base/earlier trims use 5.25 inches (133 mm).

  • Rear doors (in double-cab and similar configurations): often 6.5 inches (165 mm) as well, though certain markets have used 5.25 inches (133 mm) or other sizes.

  • Notes: Mounting depth, grille design, and speaker basket shape can affect fitment; diameter is the primary factor for replacement.


When upgrading, confirm the exact size for your vehicle and account for any depth or clearance constraints. Aftermarket 6.5" components fit most Hilux models if you address mounting depth and enclosure considerations.


How to verify the size on your Hilux


To ensure you buy the correct speakers, use one of these verification methods before purchasing replacements.



  • Remove the door panel and measure the speaker diameter directly with a ruler or caliper.

  • Check the vehicle’s service manual or Toyota parts catalog for your VIN, which lists the standard speaker size by door and trim.

  • Inspect the current speaker or its label for the size stamped on the magnet or frame (often shows 6.5" or 165 mm).

  • Ask a dealership or a reputable car-audio installer for the exact OEM size corresponding to your Hilux year and market.


If you can’t access the OEM documentation, assume 6.5" (165 mm) as the default for modern Hilux models, but verify with measurement to avoid fitment issues.


Summary


For most Hilux models, front-door speakers are 6.5 inches (165 mm) in diameter, and rear doors in many double-cab versions are the same size, though exceptions exist by year and market. Always verify the exact size for your vehicle by measuring, consulting the VIN-specific parts catalog, or checking the OEMSpecifications before buying replacements. With accurate sizing, upgrading to 6.5" aftermarket components is a common, straightforward enhancement.
