Toyota City―TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION today announced that cumulative production of the HiLux, its small 1-ton bonnet truck, reached the four-million mark at the end of May. The milestone was marked 18 years and three months after production of the first HiLux.

The HiLux has become the first Toyota truck to achieve cumulative production of four million units. When passenger cars are included, the HiLux is third, after the Corolla and Corona, to reach that record figure.
