Toyota has introduced the Legend 55, a limited‑edition Hilux created to mark 55 years of the model’s legacy. This edition is positioned as the final major special trim of the current Hilux generation before the next generation debuts (rumoured in November 2025). The Legend 55 offers mostly aesthetic and convenience upgrades rather than mechanical changes.
What’s New (Visuals & Equipment)
Built on the existing Legend model, the Legend 55 adds exclusive touches to impart a more upscale look and feel:
Exterior trim: Gloss‑black grille, silver front bash plate, Legend 55 badging, branded sports bar, and select exclusive colours (e.g. dark green mica, sand beige)
Load‑area enhancements: Rubberised load bin lining and a manual roll‑shutter (replacing the electronic shutter)
Wheels & lighting: 18‑inch alloy wheels (same as those on the current Fortuner), puddle‑light logos (double‑cab) and shark‑fin antenna
Interior & branding: Subtle interior upgrades such as chrome branded scuff plates and Legend 55 badging on the centre console and headrests
The Legend 55 is available in both 4×4 and 4×2 drivetrains, in Xtra Cab and Double Cab configurations.
