UMW Toyota Motor has introduced a new TRD aerokit
package for the Toyota Hilux, according to the company’s official website.
Priced at RM 4,800 with GST, the package is similar to the kitted-up pick-up
truck by dealer Wing Hin Automobile that we saw just a few weeks ago.
The package is offered for all double cab variants,
and includes a honeycomb grille, lower bumper cover, red skid plate and matte
black fender flares. Additional options include 18-inch six-spoke alloy wheels
(with TRD lug nuts), although they are only offered for the 2.8G variant.
The Hilux is priced from RM 87,200 to RM 130,000, with
two GD turbodiesel engines available – the 2.8 litre 1GD-FTV and a 2.4 litre
2GD-FTV. The former serves up 177 hp and 450 Nm, while the latter produces 150
hp and 400 Nm.
Depending on engine choice, buyers will get to
choose between a six-speed manual or automatic transmission. Four-wheel drive
is standard on the majority of variants, save for the 2.4 2×4 MT.
