Uncovered in a single image in Australia in February, Toyota has released pricing of what is likely to be the final refresh to the now nine-year old eighth generation Hilux .
New outsideSeemingly set to be replaced next year , the third lifecycle update since 2015 only applies to the mid-spec Raider powered by the 2.4 GD-6 turbodiesel engine and the 2.8 GD-6 with or without the 48-volt mild-hybrid system.
Similar to the Australian-spec SR5, the mentioned tweaks consist of black mirror caps and door handles, a new front bumper, a redesigned grille with a honeycomb mesh pattern, L-shaped fog lamp bezels, a new lower air intake below the grille and blacked-out headlight clusters.
As with other variants, the Raider can be equipped with a range of Toyota -approved aftermarket accessories supplied by Ironman, 44 Megaworld, Thule, Front Runner and IVXIVBUSHINDABA. On the list are tow bars, nudge bars, side-steps, sports bars and canopies.
InsideSomewhat strangely, the Raider loses out on the wireless smartphone charger, type-C USB ports, and rear climate control vents fitted to the SR5, though it does feature leather seats with the drivers being electric.
