Let’s look at the 7 available colors of the Toyota Hilux

The Toyota Hilux is one of the most popular pickup trucks in the country, not only because it wears the company’s badge — which represents impressive reliability — but also because it is made available in various trims, allowing the nameplate to cater to both the commercial and different lifestyle needs of the Filipino motorist. 

Likewise, the Toyota Hilux also offers would-be owners the choice to select from a variety of paintwork to suit their style. On that note, we take a quick look at the seven available hues of the pickup truck, which also happen to reflect some of its notable features. 

Emotional Red 

The Toyota Hilux’s Emotional Red color encapsulates the pickup truck’s ability to provide those behind the wheel of the pickup truck’s wheels with an “emotional” experience. 

Under its hood is either a 2.4- or a 2.8-liter powerplant that are able to dish out the following figures: 

2GD-FTV 2.4-liter (in horsepower [hp>)	148
1GD-FTV 2.8-liter (in hp)	201

Both diesel-fed mills can be mated to either a six-speed manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic transmission. 

Torque-wise, the smaller engine produces up to 400 Newton-meters (Nm) while the beefier one generates anywhere from 420 to 500 Nm. 

The above numbers provide owners of the Toyota Hilux with a wide range of capabilities that will suit their motoring needs, whether they will use the pickup truck as a workhorse or as a lifestyle vehicle. 

For the “Gazoo-fied,” rage-topping Toyota Hilux GR-S trim, owners can expect to get a maximum power output of 220 horses with 550 Nm of pulling power — effectively elevating the model’s capacities with sportier driving dynamics. 

Attitude Black Mica 

Black is a color that best represents the sleek and stylish design that the current-generation Toyota Hilux has adopted. 

The pitch-black paintwork blends well with the tough-looking claddings that surround the pickup truck’s body. These include the sturdy plastic covers that surround the vehicle’s grille as well as the good-looking, angular wheel arches that serve as a protective cover for the common touchpoints of the truck. 

Its blacked-out pillars, door handles, sports bar, bumpers, and running boards also work well with the said black hue. 

The Toyota Hilux in Attitude Black Mica could be a good pick for people who want a truck that drives as good as it looks. 

Oxide Bronze Metallic 

Those who want something “tactical” or “military-inspired” will immediately fall in love with the Toyota Hilux in Oxide Bronze Metallic finish. 

The paintwork makes the pickup truck look like it’s wearing shiny olive drab fatigues, which also looks good paired with the aforementioned black claddings. 

Reinforcing its outdoorsy, go-anywhere, do-anything character is a four-wheel drivetrain, which allows the pickup truck to direct power from its engine to all four wheels. It also gets a differential lock with an auto-disconnect feature. 

In addition, it also packs a double wishbone suspension at the fore and a leaf spring rigid axle setup at the rear. 

Gray Metallic 

Gray is a color known for its ability to hide dust, dirt, and sometimes even scratches, well. But for us, it represents the reliability and dependability that the Toyota Hilux is known for. 

The pickup truck offers impressive stopping power thanks to its braking system. The lower variants (G and E) are fitted with ventilated disc brakes at the front and reliable drum brakes at the back. 

Customers looking to get the higher Conquest grades can expect to get rear ventilated disc brakes for improved deceleration and halts. 

These brakes are housed inside 17- or 18-inch alloy wheels that are fitted with 265/65 or 265/60 series tires, respectively.  

Silver Metallic 

Silver is a color often associated with technology, and these are features that the Toyota Hilux has no shortage of. 

Facing the driver is a 4.2-inch thin-film transistor instrument panel. It is complemented by either an eight-inch or a nine-inch infotainment system — depending on the variant. 

The latter display has Bluetooth and wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto connectivity for its owner’s convenience. 

All models get six speakers. 

Control of its numerous features can also be done via the multi-functional steering wheel, which comes with buttons for audio, phone, voice command, cruise control, lane departure, and changing the settings of the multi-information display. 

Dark Blue Mica 

The serene color of the Dark Blue Mica paint is representative of the comfort offered by the Toyota Hilux. 

Inside, the driver and passengers can enjoy cushiony seats swathed in fabric or leather. The abovementioned steering wheel is also finished in either urethane or leather, depending on the chosen grade. 

Speaking of which, the lower variants get manually-adjustable seats while the top-range models get power-adjust ones. 

For when driving under the scorching sun is inevitable, the Toyota Hilux offers a dual-zone automatic air conditioning system, with the upper grades getting dedicated vents for those sitting at the back. 

Staying hydrated is also made more convenient as the pickup truck is equipped with four cup holders, with two bottle holders at the front as well as two bottle holders and two cup holders at the rear.
