Quick answer
The Toyota Hilux is Toyota's pickup truck, sold since 1968. This guide covers the Japanese-market pickup from 1983 in five pages: N50 (1983–1988), N80 and its late-model view N100 (1988–1997), N150 (1997–2004) and the GUN125 (2017–2026). The Hilux Surf SUV is a separate vehicle and is not covered. US eligibility is judged truck by truck, so check each build date.
Background
Overview
The Toyota Hilux has been sold since 1968, and Toyota's Japanese code list shows eight model families, from the RN10 series of 1968 to the GUN220 series of 2026. This guide covers the Japanese-market pickup from 1983: N50, N80 with its late-model view N100, N150 and N300. The Hilux Surf SUV is a separate vehicle and is not covered.
How the pickup pages are organised
The N50 page covers the fourth generation, launched 4 November 1983. The N80 page covers the fifth, launched 27 September 1988, and the N100 page is its late-model view, not a separate generation. The N150 page covers the sixth, launched 3 September 1997, and the N300 page covers the GUN125 Toyota launched in Japan on 12 September 2017.
Toyota ended Japanese Hilux sales in 2004 and reintroduced the truck in 2017 after a 13-year hiatus. A fully remodelled Hilux went on sale in Japan on 28 May 2026.
What is not covered
The Hilux Surf, which Toyota lists as its own vehicle, is not covered, nor are its engines. Early generations before 1983 and export-market pickups are not covered either. The N-numbers are this site's route labels; Toyota's own Japanese codes are the YN/LN, RZN/LN and GUN series.

Quick read
Key takeaways
- Toyota's codes identify Japanese pickups: YN/LN50 and 60, YN/LN80 to 110, RZN/LN140 to 170 and GUN120. N-numbers are this site's labels.
- The fourth generation launched in November 1983, the fifth in September 1988 and the sixth in September 1997. Japanese sales ended in 2004 and returned in September 2017.
- Toyota lists the Hilux Surf SUV separately, and this guide does not cover it.
- Import age is counted per truck from its manufacture date, and EPA separately expects the engine to match the original model and configuration.
- Recalls to check by generation: 2004 relay rod (fifth), 2005 connecting-rod bolts (sixth), 2020 brake booster (GUN125).
- N100 is the late-model view of the fifth-generation pickup, not its own generation.
Constants
Common across all Hilux generations
- Toyota's code list names eight Hilux pickup families by sales-start year, from RN10 (1968) to GUN220 (2026)
- Toyota says Japanese Hilux sales ended in 2004 and resumed on 12 September 2017 after a 13-year hiatus
- The 1997 sixth generation kept the rear leaf-spring design of earlier Hilux models and fitted double-wishbone front suspension to all models; the 2021 GUN125 brochure still lists semi-elliptic rear leaf springs
- Diesels in the covered Japanese pickups: 2.4-litre 2L (1983), 2.8-litre 3L on the 1988 4x4, 3.0-litre 5L (1997) and 2.4-litre 2GD-FTV (2017)
- Part-time 4WD: the 2017 GUN125 uses a dial-selected part-time system, and the August 1995 LN112 SSR-X is listed as part-time 4WD
- The Hilux Surf went on sale in May 1984 as a station-wagon version of the fourth-generation 4WD pickup and is listed by Toyota as its own vehicle

Buyer's call
Should you buy a Toyota Hilux?
Who should not buy this
- Anyone buying a Hilux Surf wagon from this guide: it covers the pickup only.
- Anyone planning an engine change before a US import: EPA expects the original engine model and configuration, so check with EPA first.
- Anyone relying on the N-number rather than Toyota's code and frame number to identify a truck.
Reliability
Common issues & solutions
| Issue | Cause | Solution | Est. cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Steering relay-rod recall (fifth generation, 2004) | Toyota found the relay rod's strength insufficient on listed Hilux 4WD pickups and Surf models; in the worst case it breaks and steering is lost. | Check the designation and frame number and ask for proof of the countermeasure part. | Recall remedy; confirm status |
| Connecting-rod bolt recall (sixth generation, 2005) | Toyota says leftover assembly cleaning fluid can corrode the bolts of six listed Hilux designations; in the worst case a bolt breaks and the vehicle cannot be driven. | Check the frame number against the notice and ask for proof of new bolts. | Recall remedy; confirm status |
| Brake-booster recall (GUN125, 2020) | Toyota says a resin piston in some boosters was moulded under inappropriate conditions; it could break and lengthen stopping distance. | Check frames GUN125-3905246 to 3909364 (built July 2018 to March 2019) and ask for proof of the booster check. | Recall remedy; confirm status |

Editorial
The buyer's read
Decide first which truck you are looking at. Toyota's Japanese codes divide the pickup into the YN/LN50 and 60, YN/LN80 to 110, RZN/LN140 to 170 and GUN120 families, and the site's N50 to N300 pages map onto them. N100 is a late-model view of the fifth generation.
Next check recalls by generation: the 2004 relay-rod notice, the 2005 connecting-rod-bolt notice or the 2020 brake-booster notice, and ask for proof of the fix.
For importing, the US 25-year rule counts from the truck's own manufacture date, and EPA's age exemption requires the original engine model and configuration, or an equivalent or newer EPA-certified replacement engine and emission-control systems. Canada's rule is older than 15 years, by manufacture month and year. State rules vary, so check state and provincial registration separately.
The Hilux Surf SUV is a separate vehicle and is not covered here. See the hilux N80 guide.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What is the Toyota Hilux?
- It is Toyota's pickup truck, sold since 1968 in more than 190 countries and regions according to Toyota. This guide covers the Japanese-market pickup from the 1983 fourth generation to the 2017 to 2026 GUN125, and a fully remodelled Hilux went on sale in Japan on 28 May 2026.
- Is the Hilux Surf the same as the Hilux pickup?
- No. Toyota lists the Hilux Surf as its own vehicle, separate from the pickup. This guide covers the pickup only.
- Which codes does Toyota use for Japanese pickups?
- Toyota's code list gives RN10 (1968), RN20 (1972), RN/LN30 and 40 (1978), YN/LN50 and 60 (1983), YN/LN80, 100 and 110 (1988), RZN/LN140 to 170 (1997), GUN120 (2017) and GUN220 (2026). The N50 to N300 labels on this site map onto those families.
- Was the Hilux sold in Japan the whole time?
- No. Toyota's chief engineer said Japanese sales ended in 2004, and Toyota reintroduced the Hilux in Japan on 12 September 2017 after a 13-year hiatus. The Japanese pickup pages cover 1983 to 2004 and 2017 to 2026.
- Which recalls should I check?
- Japan's 2004 steering relay-rod notice covers listed fifth-generation 4WD pickups; the 2005 connecting-rod-bolt notice lists six sixth-generation designations; the 2020 brake-booster notice covers GUN125 frames built from July 2018 to March 2019. Each is checked by frame number.
- Can I import a Hilux pickup to the US or Canada?
- US federal safety eligibility under the 25-year rule depends on the individual truck's manufacture date; the sources used here give launch dates, not first or last build dates. EPA's age exemption requires the original engine model and configuration, or an equivalent or newer EPA-certified replacement engine and emission-control systems. Canada's older-vehicle rule covers vehicles older than 15 years, by manufacture month and year. State rules vary, so check state and provincial registration separately.
