The Hilux:

There are basically four models of Hiluxes available in South Africa:

  • The Pre-1978 Hilux
  • 1979-late 1998 Hilux (also called the SFA Hilux)
  • Late 1998 - 2005 Hilux (Also called the IFS Hilux)
  • 2005 till date (Also called The "New" Hilux , Vigo or Gen 6 Hilux)

Which Hilux is suitable for you?

If you ever wondered which Hilux to choose you should read this article (click here) . What is good for one guy (or girl) is not necessarily good for the next guy. Some of us need a 4x4 to conquer adrenalin rushing obstacles and the next guy just need a comfortable and reliable Hilux to tour the country and every now and then cross a river. So there is no need that you get a robust, bumpy old Hilux if you nether going to use its abilities.

The old solid front axle (SFA) Toyota Hilux is one of the best off-road vehicles ever built. The Toyota Hilux is one of the most reliable and capable off-road vehicles around. It is reliable and robust and remain one of the top choices for the serious off-roader.

On this web site you will find more information about the Toyota Hilux. This web site is not only about the old SFA Hilux or 4x4 Hiluxes but about all Hilux models.

In South Africa Toyota stopped production of the SFA Hiluxes more than twenty years ago and still they are well sought after. If you can find one in a good condition, you will pay much more than the current quoted book value for it. The Hilux is most probably the best buy for your money.
