The Toyota Hilux is Malaysia's bestselling pickup truck for 9 consecutive years (2016-2024) and the only pickup CKD-assembled in the country. Sold in 9 variants from RM 104,880 to RM 169,080 OTR, the Hilux spans single-cab work-truck duty through the Rogue and GR Sport variants targeted at lifestyle dual-use buyers. All variants are assembled at UMW Toyota Motor Shah Alam with two engine choices: the 2.4L D-4D 2GD-FTV (150 PS / 400 Nm) on the work-orientated Single Cab and lower Double Cab variants, and the 2.8L D-4D 1GD-FTV (204 PS / 500 Nm) on the Double Cab E, V, Rogue, and GR Sport. The Hilux holds 5-year resale at 75-82%, the segment best, and carries a 5-year/150,000 km warranty.

Hilux: The Only CKD Pickup in Malaysia
The Toyota Hilux is the only pickup truck CKD-assembled in Malaysia in 2026. Every other pickup sold in the country is CBU-imported from Thailand:
- Mitsubishi Triton: CBU from Mitsubishi Motors Thailand (Laem Chabang)
- Isuzu D-Max: CBU from Isuzu Thailand (Samrong)
- Ford Ranger: CBU from AutoAlliance Thailand (Rayong)
- Mazda BT-50: CBU from AutoAlliance Thailand (Rayong, shared platform with D-Max)
- Foton Tunland, GWM Pickup, Maxus T60: CBU from China
CKD status is significant for three reasons. First, it carries lower duty rates than CBU equivalents, contributing to Hilux's price competitiveness despite Toyota's premium brand position. Second, it qualifies the Hilux for the Industrial Linkage Programme incentives, which UMW Toyota Motor reflects in pricing. Third, and most importantly for ownership, CKD volumes justify the UMW network maintaining parts inventory at all 140+ Malaysian service outlets, which is the single biggest contributor to the Hilux's segment-leading 5-year resale.
Hilux Engine Options: 2.4L D-4D vs 2.8L D-4D 1GD-FTV
The Hilux Malaysia lineup offers two diesel engines, both members of Toyota's GD-series turbo-diesel family:
2.4L D-4D 2GD-FTV (150 PS / 400 Nm)
The 2GD-FTV is a 2,393 cc 4-cylinder common-rail turbo diesel, fitted to Single Cab variants and lower Double Cab trims (2.4 MT, 2.4 AT, Double Cab 2.4 MT, Double Cab 2.4 AT, Double Cab E 2.4 AT). Output:
- Power: 150 PS at 3,400 rpm
- Torque: 400 Nm from 1,600-2,000 rpm
- Transmission: 6-speed manual or 6-speed AT
- Real-world consumption: 11-13 km/L highway, 9-11 km/L combined
The 2.4L is the work-truck choice. It pulls hard from idle, runs cooler under sustained load, and has lower service costs than the 2.8L. For Sabah/Sarawak plantation duty, urban contractor work, and any application where the truck spends time at GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating), the 2.4L is the rational pick.
2.8L D-4D 1GD-FTV (204 PS / 500 Nm)
The 1GD-FTV is a 2,755 cc 4-cylinder common-rail turbo diesel, fitted to Double Cab V, Rogue, Rogue X, and GR Sport. Output:
- Power: 204 PS at 3,400 rpm
- Torque: 500 Nm from 1,600-2,800 rpm
- Transmission: 6-speed AT only (no manual on 2.8L)
- Real-world consumption: 9-11 km/L combined, 12-14 km/L highway cruise
- Towing capacity: 3,500 kg braked
The 1GD-FTV is the most proven diesel engine in Southeast Asia, with documented 500,000+ km service life when maintained on the 10,000 km service interval. It powers most of Toyota's global pickup, SUV (Fortuner), and Hiace lineup, which keeps parts and tooling cheap globally. For dual-use pickup buyers wanting overtaking performance and towing capability, the 1GD-FTV variants are the obvious pick.
Variant Tiering: What Each Variant Adds
Single Cab 2.4 MT/AT (RM 104,880 / RM 115,880)
The Single Cab is the work truck. Steel wheels, vinyl floor, manual A/C, no infotainment screen. 2-seat layout with a cargo deck of 2,315 mm length. The 4x4 transfer case and rear locker are standard. Single Cab buyers are typically plantation, construction, or government fleet, and the price gap of RM 11,000 between MT and AT reflects the AT's longer service life and lower driver fatigue on highway duty.
Double Cab 2.4 MT/AT and Double Cab E 2.4 AT (RM 124,080 / RM 130,080 / RM 135,080)
The 2.4L Double Cab variants add a rear seat row, soft-touch interior, infotainment screen (7-inch on Standard, 8-inch on E), and full LED headlamps on E. The "E" trim adds rear AC vents, dual-zone climate, and 6-airbag SRS standard (lower Double Cabs run 3 airbags only). For private buyers using the Hilux as a daily driver plus weekend duty, Double Cab E 2.4 AT is the value sweet spot.
Double Cab V 2.8 AT (RM 149,080)
The "V" trim is the first 2.8L variant, adding the 1GD-FTV engine, leather seats, 9-inch infotainment, JBL 8-speaker audio, 360-degree camera, and Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 (autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure alert). Towing capacity rises to 3,500 kg with the 2.8L. The V is the most common Hilux variant on Klang Valley roads in 2026.
Double Cab Rogue / Rogue X 2.8 AT (RM 149,080 / RM 158,080)
The Rogue replaces the V's chrome trim with matte-black sports body kit, blacked-out grille, dark 18-inch alloys, and Rogue-specific interior trim (red contrast stitching, dark fabric headlining). The Rogue X (launched 2024) adds an electronic rear differential lock, hill descent control with adjustable speed, and a sport bar over the bed. Mechanically identical to the V (2.8L 1GD-FTV, 6-speed AT), the Rogue and Rogue X are styling and trim packages, not performance upgrades.
Double Cab GR Sport 2.8 AT (RM 169,080)
The GR Sport, launched 2023 and refreshed 2025, is the lifestyle-orientated flagship. The premium over the Rogue X buys:
- KYB monotube dampers (raised damping rate, longer travel), the only Hilux variant with monotube
- 17-inch matte black alloys with 265/65 all-terrain tyres
- GR-tuned electric power steering (weightier feel, faster response)
- GR-specific seats with red stitching and reinforced bolstering
- Exclusive GR Sport badging inside and out
The GR Sport is not a full performance pickup like the Ford Ranger Raptor (Fox Live Valve dampers, 397 PS V6 petrol). It is a comfort-tuned overland-themed Hilux Adventure. The engine, gearbox, and 4WD system are identical to the Rogue. Worth the RM 20k premium over Rogue X for buyers who value the suspension and badging; not worth it for buyers seeking actual performance gains.
Hilux vs Triton vs D-Max vs Ranger: The 2026 Comparison
| Factor | Hilux DC V 2.8 | Triton Adventure X | D-Max 3.0 Stealth | Ranger XLT Plus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OTR Price | RM 149,080 | RM 144,990 | RM 145,888 | RM 158,888 |
| Engine | 2.8L D-4D (204 PS) | 2.4L MIVEC Turbo (184 PS) | 3.0L Ddi (190 PS) | 2.0L Bi-Turbo (210 PS) |
| Torque | 500 Nm | 470 Nm | 450 Nm | 500 Nm |
| Towing | 3,500 kg | 3,500 kg | 3,500 kg | 3,500 kg |
| CKD/CBU | CKD Shah Alam | CBU Laem Chabang | CBU Samrong | CBU Rayong |
| Warranty | 5 yr / 150,000 km | 7 yr / 200,000 km | 5 yr / 150,000 km | 5 yr / 200,000 km |
| 5-yr resale | 75-82% | 65-72% | 68-75% | 62-70% |
| Service network | 140+ UMW outlets | ~90 outlets | ~75 outlets | ~85 outlets |
Hilux wins on CKD status, 5-year resale, service network density, and engine torque. Triton wins on warranty length (7 years), price, and Super Select II 4WD with rear locker standard. D-Max wins on engine displacement (3.0L), proven turbo durability, and torque-on-demand response. Ranger wins on engine output (210 PS Bi-Turbo) and Ford SYNC infotainment. For long-hold buyers and resale-conscious owners, Hilux is the rational pick across all four.
Hilux Safety Features and Toyota Safety Sense
The Hilux carries a 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating for Adult Occupant Protection (tested 2019, retested 2024). Standard safety features by variant:
- All variants: ABS, EBD, BA, VSC (Vehicle Stability Control), TRC (Traction Control), HAC (Hill-Start Assist Control), TPMS, ISOFIX rear (Double Cab)
- Single Cab AT and Double Cab Standard/E: 6 airbags (driver, passenger, side, curtain), Manual variants: 3 airbags (driver, passenger, knee)
- Double Cab V, Rogue, Rogue X, GR Sport: Toyota Safety Sense 2.0 standard - Pre-Collision System with pedestrian/cyclist detection, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with stop-and-go, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Automatic High Beam, Road Sign Assist, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Blind Spot Monitor, 360-degree panoramic view monitor
The Hilux is the first pickup in Malaysia to standardise TSS 2.0 across all 2.8L variants from MY2023 onwards, predating the same standardisation on the Mitsubishi Triton (MY2024) and Ford Ranger (MY2024).
Why the Hilux Resale is the Segment Best (75-82% at 5 Years)
The Hilux's 5-year resale of 75-82% is roughly 7-10 percentage points above the Triton (65-72%), D-Max (68-75%), and Ranger (62-70%). Three structural reasons:
- CKD status with UMW network density. Parts inventory at 140+ Malaysian outlets means 2nd-owner buyers in Sabah/Sarawak don't face the wait-3-weeks-for-a-CBU-part problem. This translates to higher 2nd-owner willingness to pay
- 1GD-FTV engine global parts commonality. The 2.8L 1GD-FTV powers Toyota Fortuner, Hiace, Innova Hybrid (in some markets), and Hilux globally. 2nd-owner mechanics know it, parts are cheap, and 500,000+ km service life is documented
- Toyota brand premium in commercial vehicle resale. Plantation, oil & gas, and government fleet preferences favour Toyota at 2nd-owner stage, which keeps used Hilux prices structurally high regardless of mileage
On a RM 149,080 Double Cab V held 5 years, the Hilux retention advantage saves roughly RM 12,000-15,000 in trade-in value versus a Triton or D-Max at the same point. This is the principal financial argument for paying the Toyota premium.

FAQ: Additional Toyota Hilux Questions
Will Malaysia get the 48V mild-hybrid Hilux?
The 48V mild-hybrid Hilux launched in Thailand and Australia in 2024 using the 2.8L D-4D engine paired with a 48V belt-driven starter generator. As of May 2026, the mild-hybrid Hilux has not been federalised for Malaysia. UMW Toyota Motor has indicated a target launch in late 2026 or 2027 pending domestic emission regulation finalisation. The current Malaysia Hilux lineup is conventional turbo-diesel only.
When is the next-generation Hilux coming?
The current Hilux is the 8th generation (Revo), launched globally 2015 and updated in 2020 and 2024. The 9th-generation Hilux is rumoured for global launch in 2026-2027, with a potential Malaysia CKD launch in 2027-2028. The next-generation is expected to retain the 1GD-FTV 2.8L diesel as the primary engine, with new 48V mild-hybrid and possible plug-in hybrid variants in higher trims.
Hilux payload and towing specifications
Maximum payload: 1,000 kg (Single Cab) / 750 kg (Double Cab). Maximum braked towing: 3,500 kg on all 2.8L variants, 2,800 kg on 2.4L variants. Wading depth: 700 mm. Approach angle: 29°. Departure angle: 26°. Ground clearance: 286 mm. These figures match or exceed Mitsubishi Triton, Isuzu D-Max, and Ford Ranger on all metrics except Triton's marginally higher 700 mm wading depth.
The Toyota Hilux 2026 lineup, anchored by 9 variants from RM 104,880 to RM 169,080 and the only CKD pickup status in Malaysia, remains the rational pickup choice for long-hold owners, Sabah/Sarawak operators, and resale-conscious commercial fleet buyers. Use the table above to compare variants, check the loan calculator for monthly payments, and review the full Malaysia car price list for cross-shopping against Mitsubishi Triton, Isuzu D-Max, and Ford Ranger.
