3 Must-Have Hilux Off-Roading Accessories

The Hilux has dominated the 4×2 and 4×4 ute categories for quite some time and is undeniably Australia’s best-selling car thus far in 2022. There’s the choice of frugal petrol and diesel engines and trims to suit all buyers. The workmate is a tradie’s best friend, while the Rogue and Rugged X models are perfect for off-roading fun. 

As for accessories, there’s a decent amount of optional kits offered as OEM. But most buyers will be better catered to by the huge selection of aftermarket goodies. 

Off-roading requires the Hilux to have basic front-end protection, decent lighting and recovery essentials to get you out of a tight spot. Any extra gear, like spare tyres or camping gear, should sit on a well-appointed roof rack. 

Though, you shouldn’t stop there. Better protection for those larger wheels and tyres is handled by Hilux flares in the design and colour of your liking. Pair this with serious suspension upgrades and better airflow, and choose your destination.
