Toyota Hilux was one of the best-known pickups globally, and the carmaker made it available on all continents in a few cab versions.
The Hilux Extra Cab sat in the middle, between the two-seat Single Cab and the family-friendly Crew Cab. It was more than a workhorse, with room for a small team and a more generous bed in the back than the full-size, four-door model.
Unlike its Single Cab sibling, the Extra Cab received more attention from the Japanese carmaker. It sported a body-colored wrapped bumper, where Toyota installed as an option a pair of fog lights. On its sides, the most noticeable difference was the short, pop-out, rear side windows behind the doors. Like its regular-cab sibling, the Extra Cab could carry up to one ton.
Inside, the HiLux Extra Cab featured a pair of bucket seats at the front separated by a center console where Toyota placed the gear selector and the low-range transfer case between the two front occupants. In addition, the carmaker added a pair of jump seats in the back, suitable for short distances due to the limited rear legroom. While the base trim level featured cloth materials and vinyl door-cards, on the upper trim level, the HiLux featured more comfort and amenities such as the heated seats and the automatic transmission.
Under the hood, Toyota installed a choice of inline-four engines ranged between 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter displacement while power ranged between 75 hp and 120 hp.
