4 Essential 4x4 Accessories for your HiLux!
When it comes to versatility and durability, the Toyota HiLux has all the power and capability you need as your adventurous companion. To further elevate its capabilities, Toyota offers a wide range of genuine accessories designed for your HiLux. In this blog, we explore our 4 essential 4x4 accessories you need on your next 4WD adventure!
1. Tow Bar Tongue, Tow Ball, and Trailer Wiring Harness [P4][G6]
For those planning longer trips in the caravan or if you’re planning on hauling trailers, the HiLux offers a seamless towing solution. The tow bar tongue, tow ball, and trailer wiring harness integrate flawlessly with the vehicle's chassis and electrical system and allow you to tow up to 3.5 tonnes (on 4x4 models). With a genuine Toyota tow kit, hitching up your van or trailer becomes a breeze, ensuring a safe and reliable towing experience.
2. Roof Racks and Roof Tray
When it comes to transporting lighter but more bulky items such as swags, tents or surfboards, HiLux roof racks are a must-have. These sturdy racks fit seamlessly to the roof rails of your HiLux and provide an easy solution for carrying extra cargo securely. By adding a roof tray, you can expand the storage capacity even further due to its larger surface area, generally covering the whole roof. Additionally, roof racks allow for the easy installation of a side awning, providing shade and shelter when you’re out adventuring.

3. Bash Plate and Recovery Points
If you’re planning an adventure that’s going to take you more off the beaten path, the bash plate and recovery points are pretty much a non-negotiable. They offer critical protection for the underbody of your HiLux and make recovery a breeze if you happen to get stuck. The lower front bash plates provide valuable underbody protection, shielding vital components, such as the radiator, oil sump and transmission, from rough terrain and potential damage. Furthermore, front and rear recovery points become invaluable when tackling challenging terrains. Designed for recovery situations, they offer a secure anchoring point for winching or towing, particularly helpful in soft sand or sticky situations.
4. Toyota Genuine Bull bar
Let’s face it, this is Australia, if you’re planning on driving your HiLux anywhere other than the inner city, you’re going to need a bull bar. And aside from its rugged aesthetics, the Toyota Genuine Bull Bar also provides an essential layer of protection for your HiLux. Engineered to withstand harsh conditions, it safeguards the front end of your vehicle from potential impacts. It also serves as the housing for the powerful 9000lb Winch, allowing you to recover your vehicle or assist others in need. Additionally, the bull bar becomes a reliable ally in clearing obstacles like fallen trees that may obstruct your path.
