While Toyota has yet to come out with a specific date for the official release of the 2016 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 2016 Toyota HiLux that many are saying that the pickup truck will be most likely unveiled previously in June this year. But the production schedule appears to have come earlier than projected.
Toyota has yet to make any official statement as regard the price or the engine make of the 2016 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 2016 Toyota HiLux is also expected to come either in a rear-wheel drive (RWD) or 4-wheel drive (4WD) drivetrain.
