Toyota begins taking orders for the Hilux BEV, its first body-on-frame electric pickup, starting at under $60,000. The model features a 59.2 kWh battery, 278 hp, 348 lb-ft torque, and a 160-mile WLTP range. It offers permanent AWD, Multi-Terrain Select, and a 700 mm wading depth. The vehicle has a 212 mm ground clearance and a Double Cab body style.
Toyota Upgrade Factory engineered a $470 aluminum skid plate with aerodynamic fins for the previous-gen Hilux. Called the Shibetsu Fin Undercover, it reduces crosswind sensitivity and cuts vibrations under 1Hz to one-tenth of original levels. Stamping the 3mm-thick aluminum sheet required specialized metalworking artisans.
