2010 Toyota HiLux receives safety upgrades and cheaper options

Changes for the HiLux SR5 include electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes with brake assist as well as electronic brake distribution as standard. This is all on top of the already safe package which currently includes six airbags.

The SR5 also gets 17 inch wheels instead of the old/existing 15 inch size as well as a full-sized spare. Even with these enhancements the price of the Toyota HiLux SR5 double cab turbo diesel four-wheel drive remains at $53,690 in manual form, and $55,690 in automatic.

Such features can also be optioned onto the Toyota HiLux SR model for $800, which includes six airbags, more supportive bucket seats as well as the ABS brake package.

The ABS (including brake distribution) brake package option alone for the remaining four-wheel drive and two-wheel drive HiLux models can now be had for $400, half the price it used to cost.

Two-wheel drive models can be optioned up further with a limited-slip differential for an additional $300; totaling $700.
