Toyota Hilux is now available in special-edition “Black” guise. This custom version of the flagship 2.8 GD-6 double-cab range is available in a choice of three striking hues – Glacier White, Chromium Silver and Graphite Grey.
The new special edition comes with a gloss black roof, front grille and bumper insert and with colour-coded over-fenders, door handles and mirrors. It rides on 18-inch three-spoke alloy wheels and a black rear styling bar and black tonneau cover finish off the exterior look.
Inside you’ll find a black leather interior with silver stitching, carbon fibre panel accents and the driver’s seat is power-adjustable.
Some of the standard fare that appears on the Raider menu include full-colour touch screen with reverse camera, 4.2-inch TFT multi-information display screen, Bluetooth, cruise control, automatic climate control, steering wheel controls, electronic 4×4 switchgear (4×4 models), Hill Assist and Downhill Assist Control (the latter is on 4×4 models only), autolights and a full suite of safety kit.
The 2755cc GD engine delivers 130 kW and 420Nm of torque in six-speed manual guise – six-speed automatic transmission versions will receive a boost to 450Nm.
