A surprise reveal at its annual State of the Motor Industry (SOMI) conference at the end of January, Toyota has released official pricing of the eagerly awaited Hilux Legend 55 on its website. Ahead of its formal launch next month, the traditional commemorative special edition 55 debuts five years after the Legend 50, and marks 55 years since the first Hilux went on-sale in South Africa. Based on the standard Legend, and therefore positioned between it and the Legend RS, the 55's unique aesthetic comprises model specific 18-inch alloy wheels, a Legend 55 branded sports bar, a standard rubberised loadbin and manual roller shutter, silver bashplate underneath the front bumper, and Legend 55 badges. Eschewing the widebody design as the variant shown at SOMI, the Legend 55's exterior additions conclude with a Legend 55 animation projected onto the doors, and the option of the Dark Green Metallic paint option the former came decked-out in. Besides the latter, nine other hues can be selected from; Glacier White, Oxide Bronze, Chromium Silver, Arizona Red, Inferno Metallic, Platinum White Pearl and Graphite Grey Metallic. Available in limited quantity is Sand Beige, with Attitude Black being a similar limited run option. Inside, the revisions are more subtle by including black leather seats with Legend 55 embroidery work on the front headrests, Legend 55 branded treadplates, a Legend 55 plaque behind the gear lever on the centre console, and the JBL sound system from the Legend RS. Standard specification is, otherwise unchanged from the standard Hilux Legend, although up front, Toyota has opted not to include the 48-volt mild-hybrid version of the 2.8 GD-6 turbodiesel engine. As such, the Legend 55 is motivated by the non-electrically assisted unit that still pushes-out 150kW/500Nm. Drive is again routed to the rear or all four wheels via a six-speed automatic gearbox. Price Available in Xtra and double cab bodystyles, the Legend 55's sticker prices include a three-year/100 000 km warranty and a nine-service/90 000 km service plan.
