What engine is in a 2018 Hilux?

The 2018 Toyota Hilux in Malaysia comes with two diesel engine options: the 2.4-litre 2GD-FTV and the 2.8-litre 1GD-FTV turbo diesels. The 2.4L puts out 150 horsepower and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, while the beefier 2.8L ups the ante with 177 hp and 450 Nm (or 500 Nm when paired with the 6-speed auto), making it the go-to choice for folks needing extra hauling and towing muscle. Both engines meet the emission standards of their time and feature Toyota's D-4D common rail direct injection system, which ensures efficient combustion and keeps noise levels in check. If you're regularly carting heavy loads or hooking up a trailer, the 2.8L is probably your best bet. But for those after a better balance between fuel efficiency and daily usability, the 2.4L does a pretty solid job too.
