The eighth generation of the Toyota Hilux came on the market with a second facelift in June 2020, after the one introduced in 2017.

The eighth generation of the legendary Toyota Hilux received a mid-cycle facelift that completely transforms the look of the model while getting several updates that improve its fuel efficiency. The revamped model was unveiled officially at the 2017 Thailand International Motor Expo.

The eighth generation of the Toyota HiLux was introduced in 2015 and was available in three cabin versions, with the four-door Double Cab as the biggest one of them all.

Toyota introduced a second facelift for the HiLux's seventh generation in 2011 and offered the well-known pickup with a choice of bodyworks, including the four-door Double Cab.

Toyota took a shortcut when it tried to offer a rugged SUV for the countries where the roads were bad, unpaved, and muddy. Thus, a body-on-frame vehicle built on top of a Hilux just made more sense than developing a completely new vehicle from the ground up.

After more than 12 million units sold until 2005, the HiLux was the second-best-selling nameplate in the Toyota lineup, after the Corolla.

Toyota sold the sixth generation of the HiLux in more than 12 million units, making it the second best-selling model from its lineup, before introducing the seventh generation in 2005.

Toyota introduced the seventh generation of the HiLux in 2005 and offered the single cab as the entry-level version for its successful pickup.
