The record

Toyota moved the 4x4 Hilux to independent front suspension for 1984 (1986 in North America), and the Xtracab SR5 with the fuel-injected 22R-E became the volume model; the 1988 V6 and the 1989 N80 followed.

Research status: draft — identification, dates or figures could not all be pinned down; the summary says what is unresolved.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
