Over here these days, Toyota pickup trucks are typically the Tacoma or the Tundra. But in much of the rest of the world, the Toyota Hilux reigns supreme. Produced since March 1968, the Hilux was actually sold as the Toyota Pickup in the United States between 1972 and 1995, when it was a compact pickup truck. Now, it’s a mid-size pickup truck and has always used a body-on-frame construction method. The Hilux is famous for being exceptionally tough, and basically unkillable. Jeremy Clarkson tried to kill one on Top Gear and failed; even with a bent frame and myriad damage, the truck could still move under its own power. Today, we have a 1978 Toyota Hilux RN28L for sale from Fremont, California, with over 70,000 miles on the clock. It’s a second-generation example that appears to have been used quite carefully, making it a nice little classic to add to your collection.
Dressed in red, this 1978 Toyota Hilux RN28L is a bit different from the rest, which becomes apparent as soon as you see its side profile. Then, you’ll notice that it’s got two rear axles instead of one! All axles are fitted with alloy wheels, though. The two rear axles support an extended flat bed which leads us to believe that this Hilux was used as a car carrier. It’s also got branding by ‘The Turquoise Shop’, as well as some nice white details along the sides. The black interior of this 1978 Toyota Hilux RN28L is a nice period-correct time capsule, with two fabric seats, a two-spoke steering wheel and a floor-mounted shifter. The only modern touch is a newer Bluetooth-capable head unit from Dual; everything else right down to the gauges, switchgear and heater controls is stock.
Mechanically, this Hilux is powered by Toyota’s 20R 2.2-liter naturally aspirated inline-four engine, a carbureted powerplant known for reliability and long service life. Power is delivered through a four-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels only, confirming a 6×2 drivetrain configuration despite the presence of six wheels.

The Jeep CJ or Civilian Jeep was born out of a corporate need to survive. Willys-Overland used to supply the US Military with Jeeps for World War II. In 1944, they realized that with the War due to end, their lucrative orders would also dry up. So, they turned their attention to an America that was soon due to experience an agricultural and industrial boom, and decided to adapt the military Jeep into the CJ. This proved tougher said than done, because military Jeeps had lifespans of months or even weeks. They were throw-away items. A civilian Jeep, on the other hand, would also experience harsh use but be expected to last for years and even decades. Nevertheless, they did it, and the Jeep CJ was made from 1945 until 1986 across several iterations. Then, the successor gained a name that we know to this day; Wrangler. So, why not celebrate that glorious legacy and buy this 1978 Jeep CJ-5 that’s up for sale in Florida? With a 258ci straight six, a custom paint job, Bilstein performance shocks and more goodies, this is an off-road buddy that will never let you down.
