Toyota SA has launched its Hilux Custom Builds range, a conversion programme designed to give customers commercial solutions directly from Toyota dealerships.
Toyota South Africa Motors (TSAM) has officially launched its Hilux Custom Builds range, a selection of OEM commercial solutions for fleet customers. The conversions are based on the single-cab flat-deck 2.4 GD-6 derivative, either with a 4×2 or 4×4 drivetrain. Every unit is developed in-house, tested to OEM standards and developed by Toyota engineers through Toyota Motor Corporation’s CVPP (Conversion Vehicle Partner Programme).
The Hilux Custom Builds are designed to give customers a manufacturer-backed commercial solution that can be sourced through Toyota’s dealership network as an alternative to aftermarket conversions. Toyota claims that the range of configurations was designed to provide structural integrity, compatibility and long-term durability, with all variations tested on home soil to meet quality, reliability and performance expectations.
The selection of seven configurations includes steel or aluminium drop sides, cargo rails with optional drop sides, full or field-technician canopies, and drybox solutions for closed equipment storage. The Hilux Custom Build conversions are tailored for practical industries such as agriculture, mining, construction, field service or logistics.
As a reminder, the Hilux single-cab 2.4 GD-6 on which the Hilux Custom Builds are based is equipped with a 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine churning out 110 kW and 400 N.m of torque. The standard version of this variant is priced from R392 100 (not including the price of the Custom Builds conversion).
Toyota says the Hilux Custom Builds series sets the quality benchmark for such conversions. It also simplifies ownership for customers by ensuring every aspect of the vehicle is supported through a single service channel. In addition, it makes the purchasing process of specialised vehicles more streamlined, as the vehicle can be ordered and delivered as a complete unit, eliminating the need for third-party installations. This approach helps protect the vehicle’s resale value by ensuring the full build is officially documented.
All conversions are backed by a three-year/100 000 km warranty to match the vehicle’s warranty. Hilux Custom Builds are available through Toyota’s official accessories and fleet dealer network. Pricing, compatibility details, and assistance are available through a Toyota Fleet or Accessories representative.
