It’s not an oxymoron but the upcoming 2015 Toyota Hilux which was previously reported to be launched on the Bangkok Motor Show on March 25 but to be released to the retail market in June will have a limited Black Edition that will come in white color.
Car Advice of Australia previously reported that the Black Edition of the 2015 Toyota Hilux will be limited and the production of the pickup truck will only be for 1,000 units.
And if the traditional sales record of the Hilux would be any indication, the Black Edition of the 2015 Toyota Hilux would certainly be gone in an instance once it hits the market.
The Japanese carmaker has actually conducted test runs of the 2015 Toyota Hilux Black Edition in Australia and the review was awesome. Those Australians who have actually seen the pickup truck during its test runs were already asking when and where they can buy or get the handsome new pickup from Toyota.
Firm pickup truck
The 2015 Toyota Hilux will be a firm pickup truck that shall draw strength from the popularity of its first model that came out in 2004. It promises to be top tier vehicle that shall exude quality, efficiency, purpose, and functionality.
In terms of its exteriors, the 2015 Toyota Hilux is far different from its predecessor as it will not follow the previous ‘Keen Look’ design language used by the Japanese carmaker. The new Hilux shall have slim headlights with projector lights and LED DRL, among other exterior features.
While Toyota has yet to come out with a specific date for the official release of the 2015 Hilux to the global retail market, motoring enthusiasts believe that the latest pickup truck line will be released during the first half of this year, which is consistent with how Toyota released its 2014 model of the Hilux.
It is actually due to the major and complex modification and innovations that is being made on the 2015 Toyota Hilux that many are saying that the pickup truck will be most likely unveiled to the market on the last days of June 2015, which is also the last days of the second half of the year.
Maintaining market supremacy
Toyota has yet to make any official statement as regard the price or the engine make of the 2015 Hilux but the resourceful enthusiasts said that the pickup truck may be priced as much as $110,000 which is also meant to maintain the Japanese carmaker’s supremacy in the market.
In terms of what’s under its hood, Toyota has yet to say anything as well but some insiders hinted that the 2015 Hilux may use the current 2.5-liter and 3.0-liter VNT turbodiesel engines, or the 2.0-liter, 2.7-lter, and 4.0-liter V6 gasoline engine.
Just like its predecessor, the 2015 Toyota Hilux is also expected to come either in a rear-wheel drive (RWD) or 4-wheel drive (4WD) drivetrain.
