It must have been available at some point - because it appears in the Back to the Future series as Marty's truck. Unless it wasn't called a Hilux.

- yardie 16y agoI always assumed it was a T100.
- tnorthcutt 16y agoThe truck in Back to the Future was a Pickup, not a T100: http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forums/out-of-production-trucks-and-suvs/65821-toyota-pick-up-from-back-future/ http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forums/out-of-production-truc...
- brc 16y agoBut was it called a Hilux or not?
- tnorthcutt 16y agoNo, the North American (or maybe just US) models were just called "Pickup". What most of the world called the Hilux Surf was called the 4Runner in the US.
- brc 16y agoWell, in Australia the pickup version was always called the 'Hilux'. I know of a plumber with a 1982 model with 300,000kms on it and it's still going strong. The 'wagon' version was also called the '4Runner' in Austraila, but,because of used Japanese imports, you're more likely to see a 'surf' than a 4Runner. I find it very odd that manufacturers seem to always choose a different model name in the USA, despite worldwide success with the original model name. Golf-Rabbit-Golf springs to mind.
