Toyota Plans To Showcase An Electric Hilux Pickup Truck By 2025

A fully-electric Toyota pickup truck may be here sooner rather than later because it seems that Toyota will launch an all-electric pickup by 2025. The Toyota Hilux is a best-selling pickup all over the world, so it comes as no surprise to make it electric. The Toyota brand is excited about introducing an electric Hilux model by the end of 2025 to its customers. Toyota has a goal of selling 250,000 models in Thailand but there is not much to go on if this electric vehicle will be sold elsewhere, only time will tell. 

Another Toyota Electric Vehicle

Introducing the 2023 Toyota bZ4X, which is Toyota’s first fully electric vehicle, and people are super excited about it! This is a five-passenger car and thrives on how spacious the inside is. From an outside view, the exterior design is sleek, stylish, and modern. The starting rate of this new model is $42,000 (plus destination fee). This electric SUV has five different exterior colors: Wind Chill Pearl, Supersonic Red, Heavy Metal, Elemental Silver Metallic, and Black. Let’s explore this new EV and look into what this SUV offers. 

While designing this car, Toyota did a great job considering what the consumers would want. The bZ4X will come with cruise control and lane-keeping assist. Having a vehicle with lane-keeping assist is a safe way to prevent the driver from drifting into a different lane. There is an X-Mode (which was designed by the Subaru brand), but Toyota does own a portion of it and has installed it in this new vehicle. This mode helps people who live in more extreme climates. The bZ4X’s X-Mode allows any driver to be more particular about what the car is driving through. For example, if the car is driving through snow, mud, or large puddles of water, the vehicle will know how much power should be used with this mode alone. 

The 2023 Toyota bZ4X has made it easier to store the cargo cover when it’s not being used. This comes in handy when the back is full and there is no time to try and maneuver things around. All that needs to be done to store the cargo cover is to lift the lid covering the back and slide the cover into the spot designed for it. There is no need to try and cram the cover into a space that could damage it or stress out the person attempting to put it in. 

Just in case the information above isn’t convincing enough that this EV is an amazing car, here are a few more reasons that might be convincing. The electric engine gets 201 horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque in the front-wheel-drive model. There is a 12.3-inch touch screen that comes with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa Connectivity.
