The redesigned Hilux was introduced in August 1978.
From January 1979, the export also began in Europe , with which from 1981, the L-series diesel engine was installed. Four-wheel drive was now available in North America. Optionally, a 3-speed automatic transmission was available. In 1981, the joint development of an SUV based on the Hilux between Toyota and Winnebago Industries began . The vehicles that resulted from this collaboration were the Trekker (Winnebago), the Wolverine and the Trailblazer (Griffith). All three used the Hilux 4x4 RV cab and chassis. The Trailblazer had an all-steel body with fiberglass roof, at least 1,500 trekkers, 400 trail blazers, and an unknown number of wolverines have been sold in North America.
From then on, based on these models, the Toyota 4Runner and Toyota Hilux Surf was developed.
