The new 2016 Toyota Hilux is like a master tradesperson equipped for almost every eventuality. It arrives with a similar line-up – Active, Icon, Invincible and Invincible X – but with even more generous specification levels.
In view of its popularity as both a trade and leisure vehicle, Toyota has a range of over 100 centre-fit accessories for the Hilux. These have been developed to specialise and personalise the vehicle to individual requirements.
But with such a broad selection available, deciding which accessory boxes to tick can seem daunting. So to ease the decision-making process we have gathered a selection and bundled them into related packs.
Toyota Hilux Accessories
PARKING PACK
Cost: £525
Applicable grades: Active, Icon, Invincible
The parking aid system features ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumpers. These link to in-cabin alarms that grow progressively louder the closer you get to obstacles. The front and rear alarms have different tones and can be cancelled via a switch if not required, such as when towing.
ALARM SYSTEM
Cost: £360
Applicable grades: Active, Icon, Invincible, Invincible X
Genuine Toyota security system offers an alarm with a powerful siren to complement the car’s standard immobiliser. All doors and bonnet are sensor-protected, and the interior is guarded by ultrasonic intrusion detection technology. An optional incline sensor is also available to warn of attempted wheel theft and towing.
TOUCH 2 WITH GO MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM
Cost: £750

STYLE PACK
Cost: £700
Applicable grades: Icon, Invincible
The Style pack brings together a striking front guard and chrome fog lamp surrounds to make the front of the Hilux appear more rugged, along with Hilux (Icon grade) or Invincible (Invincible grade) branded aluminium scuff plates for stylish sill protection.

Protective items such as side cladding (£275), wheel arch protectors (£245) and bonnet deflectors (£120) can enhance the car’s appearance, while a range of decals (£70-120) is also available. Please visit your local centre for more details.
TOWING PACK
Cost: £450-600
Applicable grades: Active, Icon, Invincible, Invincible X
Flanged towing hitches attach to the Hilux body for maximum towing stability and are ideal for small boats, caravans and trailers. Traditional fixed towing hitch and optional ball-and-pin hitches (see image) are available, each with either 7- or 13-pin wiring kit included.
Dedicated 7- or 13-pin wiring kits for Toyota towing hitches are available separately at a cost of £250 or £285 respectively. Tow bar harness adapters are also available at a cost of £10 (13- to 7-pin) and £25 (7- to 13-pin).
INTEGRATED ENTERTAINMENT PACKS
Cost: £750-1,250 (DVD)
Cost: £400-500 (iPad 2)
Cost: £900 (DVD and iPad 2)
Applicable grades: Icon, Invincible, Invincible X
The Toyota integrated entertainment system gives rear passengers access to a choice of entertainment on the move through powered mounts on the back of the front seats. A range of options for DVD and/or iPad 2 media is available.
The dedicated DVD system can be specified in one of three ways – as a single master screen (£750), twin screens running as a master and slave set-up (£995), or twin master screens (£1,250) that can play different movies simultaneously.
The iPad 2 system can be specified with either one (£400) or two (£500) powered mounts (iPad is not included) so rear seat passengers can watch movies or surf the internet.
A combination DVD/iPad 2 system (£895) is also available that pairs a single master DVD player with a single, powered iPad 2 mount.
Toyota also provides a range of unpowered and USB-powered docking stations and tablet mounts. Please visit your local centre for more details.
LEATHER PACK
Cost: £1,800
Applicable grade: Invincible
The stylish and elegant leather interior kit uses top quality leather, coupled with strict manufacturing processes, to give you the assurance of comfort, practicality and long-lasting durability. The kit includes a padded arm rest, heated front seats and handbrake lever cover. It is fully compatible with airbag operation.
Viewed from left to right on the image above, colour options consist of black mechanical, black leisure, dark rose red, dark grey, and beige.
The black leather padded arm rest and leather handbrake lever cover is available separately at a cost of £75 and £135 respectively, while other interior extras such as floor mats (from £58), blue footwell illumination (£220), and a removable cup holder ashtray (£40) is also available.
Fabric cover options are available to protect both front and rear seats, with prices ranging from £277-487.
BED LINING PACKS

Cost: £480 (Line-X)
Applicable grades: Active, Icon, Invincible, Invincible X
Specially shaped high-density, rigid polyethylene bed liners are available to protect the deck bed, side panels and rails against paintwork scratching. Over-rail bed liners are specified for Single and Extra Cab body styles, and can be joined by an over- or under-rail tailgate liner (£40) for additional protection. Under-rail bed liners are available on Extra and Double Cab models, with rail protection offered through separate rail caps (£140-144).
Unlike a traditional bed liner, the Line-X protective coating is sprayed on to offer an airtight and watertight seal. It is available in both over- and under-rail applications at the same price.
Tough, transparent adhesive film (£95-145) is also available to protect paintwork around the front, side deck and tailgate rails.
SPORT DECK PACKS
Cost: £1,800-2,500 (aluminium roll and lock)
Cost: £2,000-2,300 (hard tonneau cover)
Applicable grades: Icon, Invincible, Invincible X
Sport deck packs provide alternative methods and configurations for covering and securing the rear bed of Double Cab models. The two options consist of either a retractable aluminium roll cover (see image above) or a colour-coded and hinged ABS hard tonneau cover.
Having decided on the type of cover, you can choose whether to add a stainless steel high-over bar (also available separately at a cost of £680). Finally, you need to decide between a hard-wearing plastic liner or more permanent Line-X spray-on coating for the bed itself.
Optional deck cross bars (£310) are available to mount or transport items over the aluminium roll cover.

can we track the toyota invicible i have ordered, waiting for a delivery date ???
Hi there,
We have to advise speaking to your local dealer about your delivery date. They have the most up-to-date information regarding this. Many thanks 🙂
can anyone tell me how to operate the front parking sensors on the all new hilux invincible x
nothing seems to be written in the owners manual
Hi John,
Have you checked the online owners manual or the manual that comes with the car (usually stored in the glove box)?
If you open nearside front door there is a switch located on the side of the dash. This switch operatesthe front sensors allowing for on and off. The switch inside the cab lower right of steering wheel switches both front and rear sensors on/off.
ella
yes been there, done that, absolutely no mention in the either of the two manuals, nor in the online version, (not even listed in the index???) I have read on a post below that there might be a switch missing !!
I have spoken to the dealership who didn’t know either and is looking into it for me, if these are fitted as part of the package I would just like the opportunity to use them, especially in tighter spaces
otherwise the hilux is superb, in every way ,a dream to drive
long may that continue
Hi John, sorry about this. Could you please clarify are you unable to turn on the front parking sensors?
kathleene
yes that is correct, there is no button or switch for the front sensors, that I can see anyway, the dealer was also going to try and find out
I have been through the manual and there is no reference to them anywhere
the bumper has the sensors fitted, well it look like it anyway, beginning to wonder, 1, are they wired up, 2 is there a switch missing (as mentioned in another posting)
can you please advise on the operation, if you know that is,
otherwise still perfect in every way(so far)
2.5 weeks old and 3k miles
kathleene
do you have a answer for me yet
Hi John,
We have spoken with our technical team and they have advised that the front parking sensor switch should be located on the lower right hand side, behind the steering wheel. It should be a rectangular switch with ‘P///^’ on it. However, our technical department only have a generic model manual for the parking sensors and have advised to head back to your dealer for more information.

Can you tell me why Toyota don’t sell bullbars?
Hi Shaun,
Thanks for your comment. Bullbars are not homologated for fitment pre-registration because they don’t pass pedestrian impact testing. We hope this answers your question!

Hi Aled,
Thank you for getting in touch with us. Sorry it has taken so long to reply.
The rear cancellation switch to disable TPA can be found on the left side of the dashboard, as you open the front passenger door.
If you cannot find it we do have a image we can send to you via email.
If you would like this image please could you confirm we can use the email you have given to make this blog comment?
Thanks.
I would not waist your money on DAB as My invincible has it but never works just says no signal 99% of the time. I have had a list of problems as long as my arm right from day one and still not fixed 2 yrs later despite multiple visits.
I am so fed up if I could get my money back I would hand it back!!!!!!!
Hi Lee,
Thanks for getting in touch and we are very sorry to hear that you are experiencing these issues. If you would like to contact our Customer Relations team, they would be happy to assist you. You can find their details via the following link:
https://www.toyota.co.uk/contact-us/.
Thanks.
I have been through just about every department and I’m being told they are all like this regards DAB.
I am a member on two Toyota forums and lots of Hilux drivers are saying DAB is a waist of time , some have changed the roof aerial and say that has made a big difference.
At this time my supper tough Hilux has a forward facing camera that keeps flashing up that it’s not working randomly, more annoying than anything else.
Rear tail gate struts that hold tail gate flat when open, left side is tight , right is very slack so all weight is on the left side only, as one takes all the weight its now bent the left side of the tail gate where it fixes too.
Toyota again say this is normal they are all like this, if thats the case why bother putting struts on both sides?
I had some sort of warning come up on the dash Saturday pm , I called in but service gone home, he said he would put a message on the managers desk and he would call me first thing to Monday, no call by 1pm.
I called again and had to leave another message as they were busy, I eventually had a call back at 4:30.
They didn’t know what it was and he advised to call the AA to make sure its not doing any damage, I have just took it back to them yet again and left it there and come away with a tinny little car, mind the DAB works in that !
Credit where its due, it is back in the workshop and it looks as though things are looking up, parts are being ordered and updated parts fitted, long overdue but at last things are looking up.
If this works , great, but plans are in place if problems still exists. Will keep you posted.
Hi Leeroy,
That’s great news to hear. If you have any further issues, please let us know or feel free to contact our Customer Relations team.
Thanks.
My DAB works fine Apart from some more rural areas , the DAB has a separate aerial from the FM one so it might be worth getting it checked to see if the plug is out or loose .. my Hilux has been great over the last 2 years , would like the Bigger 2.8 engine but the 2.4 does ok
I’m going to keep mine until there is a major model change
Or the bigger engine becomes avalible or when it’s 10 years old:..
