Authentic Toyota Hilux Detail in Scale

The Tamiya Hilux 58397 brings the Toyota Hilux into a 1/10 scale kit that combines a ladder-frame chassis with a realistic shaft-driven 4WD. The model is targeted at builders who value scale accuracy and mechanical function.

Three-Speed Gearbox for Varied Terrain

The 3-speed transmission offers distinct low, mid and top gear ratios for crawling, trail pacing and quicker driving, while metal components like the front guard and aluminium friction dampers add realism and strength.

Scale Stance and Off-Road Readiness

Oversized tyres increase ground clearance and help the model tackle uneven ground, while the resin body and metal-plated roll bar and bumpers create a convincing scale silhouette.

Customisation and Lifestyle Details

Small touches, such as the included surfboard accessory, give scope for personalising the truck to match display or trail scenes and reflect the Hilux lifestyle.

The Tamiya Hilux 58397 suits scale hobbyists who want a realistic, buildable truck with genuine off-road capability. It is well suited to display or active trail use after fitting electronics.

Assembly time varies with experience, but expect several evenings for careful painting and fitting; more time if you detail the body and trim.
Yes, hobbyists often fit alternative tyres to tune traction and clearance, though wheel offset and hub fitment should be checked first.
The Hilux handles packed dirt, gravel and mild rock gardens well thanks to its high clearance and large tyres; very rough rock crawling will expose the limits of the leaf rigid suspension.
