The Toyota Hilux GR parts catalogue has been released, showcasing both cosmetic and functional upgrades for the 9th-generation model.
The 9th-generation Toyota Hilux will be hitting South African showrooms around June/July 2026 and while the lineup and derivatives are yet to be confirmed, Toyota Racing Development has released the Toyota Hilux GR parts catalogue.
Gazoo Racing is Toyota’s sporty arm and the goodies offer both cosmetic and functionality enhancements. Visually, you can switch out the standard grille for a gloss-black unit, add GR mud flaps in either black or red, there’s a dual-pipe stainless steel muffler and GR Sport side window deflectors.
From an engineering enhancement point of you, there’s a GR performance damper which Toyota Racing Development says will reduce driving noises and vibrations, thus improving ride comfort and handling stability. These performance dampers were developed by Yamaha.
As a reminder, the Toyota Hilux, which made its local debut way back in 1969 – has held the title of SA’s best-selling vehicle overall for more than 50 years. It’s also produced at Toyotas’ Prospecton facility in KwaZulu-Natal.
Changes from the 8th to the 9th-generation Hilux include new hydraulic engine mounts, shear-type cabin mounts, electric power steering and a substantially enhanced cabin, bringing it more up to date in terms of infotainment and ergonomics.
While we wait for official powertrain confirmation for our market, it appears the engines are carried over from the previous generation with the flagship 1GD-FTV motor making 150 kW and 500 Nm.
