What size wiper blades for Toyota Hilux?
Front wipers on most Toyota Hilux models use a two-blade setup, with the driver’s side blade generally longer than the passenger side. The typical configuration is 24 inches (600 mm) on the driver’s side and 18 inches (450 mm) on the passenger side, while the rear wiper, if your model has one, is usually about 12–14 inches (300–350 mm). Sizes vary by year and market, so always verify for your specific vehicle from the owner’s manual or the official parts catalog.
Front Wiper Blades: Common Sizes
Below are the sizes you’re most likely to encounter on Hilux models sold around the world. Use this as a starting point, but confirm with your exact vehicle.
- Driver-side blade: 24 inches (600 mm)
- Passenger-side blade: 18 inches (450 mm)
These sizes cover the majority of Hilux front-wiper configurations across many regions; always verify with your VIN or measurements on the existing blades.
Rear Wiper Blade: Size Variation
Some Hilux variants include a rear window wiper. The rear blade is typically smaller than the fronts and may come in a couple of standard sizes depending on market.
- Rear blade: 12 inches (300 mm) to 14 inches (350 mm)
Check your model’s rear blade length in the owner's manual or by measuring the blade itself.
How to Confirm the Exact Size for Your Hilux
To be certain you buy the right blades for your vehicle, follow these steps:
- Consult the owner's manual or the Toyota official parts catalog for your Hilux model year and market.
- Look on the existing blades for size markings, typically printed near the hub end.
- Measure the length of the blade from tip to tip with a tape measure if they’re removed.
- When ordering, specify the driver-side length first, then the passenger-side length for front blades; for the rear blade, specify its length.
- If in doubt, bring the old blades to the retailer or use your VIN to fetch the correct parts online.
Following these steps will help avoid incorrect sizes, especially when ordering online or before swapping to specialist AeroBeam blades.
Buying Tips and Fitment Notes
Note the following to ensure compatibility and easy fitting:
- Consider blade type: conventional, hybrid, or beam blades; Hilux commonly uses beam blades in many markets, but check your year.
- Check fastening type: most Hilux front blades use a hook or pin adapter; ensure your replacement comes with the correct connector for your wiper arms.
- Replace both front blades together for even wear; if one blade is needed, ensure the sizes match the other side for proper clearance on the cowl.
Having the correct match will ensure even pressure, quiet operation, and clear visibility in rain or snow (where applicable in markets).
Summary
For most Toyota Hilux models, plan for front blades of about 24 inches on the driver’s side and 18 inches on the passenger side, with a rear blade around 12–14 inches if your configuration includes one. Because Hilux models vary by year and market, always verify exact sizes via the owner’s manual, the official Toyota parts catalog, or a trusted parts retailer using your VIN. The safe rule: match the blade lengths to your current blades or measure directly before ordering.
