Yep, the 2018 Toyota Hilux is part of the N80 series. That's the codename for the eighth generation of the Hilux, which first hit the scene back in 2015 and stuck around until 2023, when it finally got replaced by the new model. The N80 Hilux was a massive hit in the Malaysian market, and it's easy to see why-people really rate its toughness and how well it handles local road conditions, especially out in the countryside or on construction sites where it truly shines. Under the bonnet, this generation came with 2.4-litre and 2.8-litre turbo diesel engines, serving up solid torque and decent fuel economy. For Malaysian buyers, the N80 Hilux wasn't just a workhorse; it worked as a family vehicle too. And if you're into off-roading, the 4x4 version was definitely a solid pick. Even now, the 2018 model still has decent demand, which just goes to show how reliable it is and how much people trust the brand.
