History of the Toyota brand / Toyota
Toyota Motor is the largest Japanese automobile corporation, part of the Toyota Group, headquartered in the city of the same name (the central part of the island of Honshu). The company was founded in 1935 at a textile machine factory, owned at the time by entrepreneur Sakichi Toyoda. His son Kiichiro Toyoda (Kiichiro Toyoda) in 1930 initiates the production of cars. This decision was made after a trip to Europe and the United States, where he got acquainted with the automotive industry. The first-born of the brand was the Model A1, which appeared in 1936. In the same year, four G1 trucks were exported to China. In 1937, the company separated from the factory and received the name Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.

The Mark II car is being developed towards the end of the seventies. The legendary first-generation Camry sedan goes on sale in the early eighties. In 1986, the company produces its 50 millionth car. Two years later, Toyota creates a premium sub-brand Lexus for the production of luxury models. In the late 80s, Corolla II, Corsa and 4Runner cars came out of the gates of the company. In 1990, the company's own design center was opened. The Toyota concern at this time is actively developing, expanding its presence in many markets.

In 2016, the production of the popular RAV4 crossover began at the Toyota plant near St. Petersburg. Today, Toyota is the world's largest automobile manufacturer with a high reputation.
The Japanese corporation Toyota began to create Pick Up models in the late 90s of the last century. The impetus was the success of popular American-made analogues: Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge and others. The Japanese considered it unreasonable to leave a niche that could bring tangible income unfilled.
Japanese pickups
Unlike manufacturers in the US, Toyota limited itself to the release of three Pick Up models: Hilux, Tacoma and Tundra. All three versions were produced in several versions: with a single cab, double four-door and double two-door.
Application
Toyota pickup trucks, comfortable trucks with a spacious body, were used in a variety of ways, from transporting building materials to going out into the countryside with the whole family.
"Toyota pickup" cost a little more than a regular car. The price was dictated by the specificity of the machine, its wide capabilities. At the forefront were commercial applications, the transportation of industrial goods and the maintenance of the urban distribution network.
"Toyota pickup": models
As already noted, there was not much diversity in the production of Japanese pickups. "Hilux", "Tacoma", "Tundra" - these three modifications of a compact truck were united under the common name "Toyota pickup". The models practically duplicated each other, the difference between them was relative. The main factor characterizing the car was the carrying capacity and engine power.
"Hilux"
The most popular pickup is the Designers have tried to make the car as similar as possible to the well-known brands of cars. The front end of the Hilux turned out to be aggressive, as it should be for a powerful, dynamic car.
The Double Cab model is 5335 mm long, 1855 mm wide and 1820 mm high. The carrying capacity of the Hilux is 1240 kilograms.
Characteristically, the level of comfort in the cab of a pickup truck can compete with the interior of a decent passenger car: the same velor seats, a stylish instrument panel and many small but convenient options scattered throughout the cabin.
The engine of the Hilux model - a three-liter displacement, 1GD turbocharged diesel - develops 178 hp. at 4500 rpm. Transmission to match the engine: a five-speed automatic or a six-speed manual gearbox.
Tacoma
The all-wheel drive "Toyota pickup Tacoma" is equipped with a four-cylinder turbodiesel with a capacity of 159 hp. and a volume of 2.7 liters. Gearbox - six-speed manual or five-speed automatic.
The cabin is equipped with: climate control, a modern audio system with a changer, multimedia with a color monitor, Bluetooth support, Internet. All this is included in the standard equipment of the car, regardless of the cabin configuration (single, double or two-door, extended).
The Tacoma's chassis follows the common light truck standard: the rear axle is suspended on springs with shock absorbers, and the front suspension is independent multi-link, with hydraulic shock absorbers and coil springs. Both suspensions are equipped with anti-roll bars.
The brake system of the pickup truck is very reliable, double-circuit, diagonal action. The front wheels are equipped with ventilated discs, the rear wheels are equipped with drum-type mechanisms. A hydraulic pressure regulator is installed under the bottom of the machine, which cuts it off when the body is not fully loaded. In this case, the brake pads on the rear wheels do not work to their full potential.
"Tundra"
The pickup truck is available with all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive and is the most representative of the entire range of Toyota light trucks. The car has a stylish appearance, there are many elegant solutions in its exterior. Head optics, bumpers, rims and much more - together create an impression of perfection. You can feel the creativity of a whole group of designers.
The interior of the car is distinguished by non-standard arrangement: the seats are equipped with ventilation and heating, the upholstery is made of noble materials, Alcantara, genuine leather and velor. The cabin is air-conditioned, has climate control and a multimedia complex with a navigation system. Electric drive devices are installed everywhere: they are on the windows, exterior rear-view mirrors, and the steering column.
Toyota pickup "Tundra" is equipped with a 4.6-liter gasoline engine, eight-cylinder, V-shaped arrangement. The power of the power plant (310 hp) allows you to carry loads weighing up to one and a half tons. Transmission is a six-speed automatic.
The undercarriage of the car is well aligned, and even with the maximum load of the body, the pickup truck does not fall back, but maintains a horizontal position relative to the road surface. Attention was also paid to aerodynamic issues: the resistance of the car to oncoming air flows when driving at speed is minimal. Pickup "Toyota Tundra" is considered the most advanced model of all light
Price
Cars that can be used for commercial purposes are highly valued. Especially if it is a car made by a Japanese company. "Toyota pickup", the price of which exceeds the cost of an ordinary car twice, can be purchased for 1,500,000 - 2,000,000 rubles, depending on the technical condition and year of manufacture. Cars are sold in specialized salons.
Customer opinion
Japanese automotive technology does not need to be evaluated - that is traditionally positive. Nevertheless, it can be mentioned that the owners of Toyota brand pickups note their high reliability, engine reliability, load capacity and good speed qualities. "Toyota pickup", reviews of which have remained enthusiastic for many years, are in demand today more than ever.
Russia cannot yet be called a country of pickups, unlike the USA and Australia, where this segment of cars is in great demand. But we also have more and more drivers who prefer a pickup truck as a multifunctional and comfortable means of transportation.

We briefly ran through all the models of pickup trucks officially presented on the Russian market. The selection is small, but it's there. Compare, choose, buy. Pickups are great!
The first Toyota pickup truck appeared on the American market in 1964 - it was the compact Stout. Since then, the Japanese have been trying to gain a foothold in this segment with varying success, especially having achieved good luck in this in the last decade.
The very first Toyota pickup appeared in 1947. They became the practical SB, which was popular not only with ordinary Japanese, but also with the American occupying forces, who ordered it from the automaker in large quantities. Even then, the main advantages of pickups from this Japanese auto giant were laid, which were based on unpretentiousness, practicality and durability.
Today, only the US market remains the main priority for the company in this segment. Only there you can officially buy a pickup truck Toyota Tundra or Tacoma. In the Japanese market, cars of this class have been losing their popularity for a long time, since the majority of the country's residents now mostly hold crossovers in high esteem. Most Japanese manufacturers are phasing out pickup trucks for the local market, moving production to plants in North America.
To date, the following pickups are available in the Toyota lineup:
Pickup Toyota Tundra at the time of release in 2002 was coolly received by American motorists. He managed to gain fame only in the second generation, which was introduced in 2007. The car turned out to be aggressive, powerful, safe and with many different modifications, which ultimately allowed it to become the best-selling foreign half-ton car in the US market.
In the premiere year of the second generation, the pickup sold a record 196,555 cars, and numerous awards only confirm the quality and popularity of this car. Despite the official status of sales only in the United States, this giant is popular all over the world and can be found in many parts of the world.
The Toyota Tacoma pickup truck entered the US market in 1995. Then he still fell into the segment of compact pickups and replaced the American version of the HiLux, known in the United States as the Toyota Pickup. The car immediately fell to the taste of the Americans due to its driving performance, handling, comfort and safety. This happened in view of the fact that Toyota engineers did not set out to create a massive, ready to work in adverse conditions car that can carry heavy loads - after all, this is not the main thing for a compact pickup truck. Americans and Canadians more often buy such cars as personal cars than for the role of a "workhorse" on a farm, for commercial use or off-road.
In 2004, the second generation of the car was presented at the Chicago Auto Show, which became noticeably larger and more powerful, thereby moving into the mid-size pickup segment. Eight configurations and various trims played into Toyota's hands, and the car sold well, and subsequently even became the "Pickup of 2005". The test results showed that the car has a high level of safety, which brought him extra points. It would not be superfluous to say that the machine was actively used by US special forces in various operations in the Middle East, which once again speaks in its favor.
It is worth saying that the segment to which this pickup truck belongs is currently represented in the US market extremely sparingly and the car has practically no competitors. It's hard to say what sales would have looked like in a different situation, but rivals would have to try hard to outshine this car. Its only real competitor was the Ford Ranger, but it has been out of production for two years.
Toyota Hilux is a legend that first went on sale back in 1968 and has changed seven generations since then. It has earned the status of a practically "indestructible" pickup truck, its reliability has become a household name, and it easily "winds" hundreds of thousands of kilometers without significant repairs. It is not surprising that this is perhaps the most popular vehicle among those that move during armed conflicts and civil wars in Africa and the Middle East.
