South Africa’s best-selling bakkie has taken it a step further with the introduction of Hilux Custom Builds, a bespoke conversion option designed and built in-house by Toyota SA Motors.
Each build begins with a dedicated flat-deck Hilux 2.4 GD-6 (4X2 or 4X4) base unit. Working within Toyota Motor Corporation’s CVPP (Conversion Vehicle Partner Programme) framework, Toyota engineers have developed a range of configurations from first principles, ensuring structural integrity, compatibility and long-term durability.

All builds are evaluated under South African conditions to ascertain that they meet the same quality, reliability and performance expectations as the vehicles themselves and buyers can select from conversions such as steel or aluminium dropsides, cargo rails with optional dropsides, full or field-technician canopies, and drybox solutions for secure equipment storage.
Every conversion is designed by Toyota engineers, tested to original equipment standards and supported by the brand’s 3-year / 100 000 km warranty, which mirrors that of the base vehicle.

Conversions can be ordered with the vehicle and delivered as a complete, ready-to-work unit, removing the delays and uncertainties associated with third-party installations. Because the conversion is invoiced with the Hilux itself, its full value is recognised in future resale, offering customers a more transparent and predictable ownership cycle.
