Toyota Hilux Electric

Monday, Nov 10, 2025 12:00 PM

There's an all-new generation of Toyota's legendary pick-up truck on the way. We catch an early drive of the new electric version Electrifying a pick-up truck isn’t an easy task but Toyota has doubled down on its multi-energy commitment by adding batteries to one of its most prized assets, the Hilux.Ford might have been first with the F150 Lightning, but without a chassis the size of a two-bed semi to put the batteries in, electrifying the one-tonne pick-up truck segment poses significantly more challenges. As a result, there are a lot of compromises that must be made, and what you’re left with is in many ways a shadow of the product you’ll find in ICE form, with less payload, lower towing limits and a severely compromised range. Maxus, Isuzu and KGM have also come to the same conclusion, having launched their own electric trucks this year.
