Hilux is a car that inherits many advantages of Toyota models. According to the evaluation of many professional workers, Toyota Hilux in Vietnam is highly appreciated for the durability of the engine, transmission and other amenities. Hilux cars rarely have problems and require little periodic maintenance.
This is a strength that helps Hilux maintain its position in the used pickup truck segment globally as well as in Vietnam. The number of new Toyota Hilux imported to Vietnam has decreased sharply from the middle of last year until now, even there are months when dealers can't sell any cars. The Hilux sold in 2022 are all manufactured from 2021.
The scarce supply led to the sudden increase in the price of used Toyota Hilux in the used car market. According to research in the used car market, Toyota Hilux 2.8 version 2018 - 2019 is being sold with prices ranging from 760 to 780 million.
Meanwhile, the high-end Toyota Hilux version 2.8 for the 2020-2021 life is priced from 850 to 900 million VND. Accordingly, this price is nearly 100 million VND higher than the Ford Ranger Wildtrak of the same life.
After about a year of disappearing from Vietnam, Toyota Hilux quietly returned right this March when the official vehicle information appeared on the homepage of Toyota Vietnam. This comeback, Toyota Hilux 3 is only distributed with 2023 version, 1×4 AT.
The new price of this version is 852 million VND, an increase of nearly 180 million VND compared to the old one. However, the dealer said that the car will be upgraded in terms of equipment to match the higher selling price.

In Vietnam market, Toyota Hilux used to be the second best-selling pickup line after Ford Ranger.
