Toyota sold the sixth generation of the HiLux in more than 12 million units, making it the second best-selling model from its lineup, before introducing the seventh generation in 2005.
Toyota built the 2005 HiLux with three cabin options: single, extra, and double. While the single-cab was designed mostly for hard work and the Double Cab was good for families, the Extra Cab was in the middle, providing a longer loading area than the top version and more seats than the base model.
Along with the seventh generation, Toyota increased the pickup size again, and the Extra Cab was 105 mm (4.1") longer than its predecessor and featured a 1.805 mm (5.9 ft) long bed, almost one foot (285 mm) longer than its four-door brother. At the front, it sported angular headlights with rounded lower and upper sides, ended into the corner-mounted turn-signals.
Inside, the pickup couldn't hide its utilitarian destination since the dashboard was made from hard plastic. Yet, the carmaker tried to make it look more civilized, with silver trims on the center stack. The instrument cluster featured a three-dial design, with a center-mounted speedometer and an LCD at the bottom for the odometer. In the back, Toyota installed two small jump-seats where someone could sit on short distances. To help them get more air, the carmaker installed pop-out windows.
Like all its predecessors, the 2005 HiLux was built on a ladder chassis, but it featured double-wishbone front suspension. For more comfortable rides, it sported a rack and pinion steering system. Toyota installed a choice of two engines for the Extra Cab version, including a new turbo-diesel with a common-rail injection that provided 102 hp. It offered it with a five-speed manual and a transfer case with high and low range.
