As expected, Toyota has made full use of the fact that the Hilux have been manufactured for the past 45 years.
Called the Legend 45, Toyota South Africa Motors has released 13 different variants of the Legend 45, which will only be available on the top Raider models. This means the Legend 45 package will be offered on the 4×2 raised body and 4×4 variants in the single- , Xstra- and double cab variants.
The following list of updates will differentiate the Toyota Hilux Legend 45 from a standard Hilux.
On the exterior:
- New headlamp and front fog lamp design with black-out detail
- Smoked tail light design
- Stainless steel front nudge bar
- Stainless steel rear step bumper
- Towbar
- Matt black side steps
- Exclusive Legend 45 badging for the nudge bar, side decals and tailgate
- Colour-coded door handles with chrome finish mirrors
- Multi-spoke 17-inch anthracite alloy wheels
- Full range of exterior colours including Glacier White, Chromium Silver, Chilli Red, Pacific Blue Metallic, Graphite Grey, Attitude Black, Silky Gold and Dark Steel Mica
