The new “BR75” based on the Toyota “Hilux
The new BR75 announced at the Japan Camper Show is based on the current model of Toyota’s Hilux pickup truck, which debuted in 2017 and underwent a minor change in 2020.
The BR75, which is based on the Hilux, is a cab-conversion model with living space in the cargo bed, and is described as a camper in the new “SUV ADVENTURE CAMPER” category.
The concept is a “secret base for adults. It is said to have been designed to be an adventurous SUV camper that takes you to new destinations.
The exterior design was designed with an eye to blending in with the urban environment, and the base of the HILUX, with its styling familiar to a wide range of users, is used to create a silhouette that flows from the front section, which has an active look and feel.
While the passenger space from the front to the rear doors retains the appearance of the Hilux, the living area in the cargo area has a rounded design and is a high-roof type with living space above the roof of the Hilux.
In addition, a large gate in the center of the rear section opens to a shower room with a waterproof pan for washing off dirty tools. The shower room is separated from the living area by a sliding door.
In addition, an outdoor unit for a household air conditioner can be mounted in the undergarment at the lower rear, allowing a household air conditioner to be installed inside the cabin for a comfortable temperature.
The interior of the HiLux is cut off from the rear of the roof to the rear window, allowing access between the living area and passenger space.
The retractable roof top can be opened to increase the interior height, which is high enough for an adult to stand and walk.
The bench seat and table can be used as a bed when retracted, and a semi-double-size “pull-down bed” is provided in the bunk section (high roof section).
Equipment includes a lithium-ion battery and household air conditioning, and optional items such as solar panels and side awnings will also be available.
The price (including consumption tax) of the new BR75 is 12,450,000 yen for the BR75-G, based on the Hilux Z-GR Sport grade, and 10,980,000 yen for the BR75-Z, based on the Z grade.

Rendering of Toyota’s “Hilux” with wide body and chakotan customization
The Hilux pickup truck has a long history, with its first model introduced in 1968. The current model is the 8th generation model, which made its return to the Japanese market in September 2017 after a 13-year absence, and underwent minor changes in August 2020.
Its body size is 5340 mm (overall length) x 1855 mm (overall width) x 1800 mm (overall height), which is large among the models offered in Japan, but it is larger than the Tundra (5814 mm (overall length) x 2030 mm (overall width) x 1925 mm (overall height)) and Tacoma (5728 mm (overall length) x 1910 mm (overall height)), which Toyota offers in North America and elsewhere. It is positioned more compact than other pickup trucks such as the Tundra (length 5814mm x width 2030mm x height 1925mm) and Tacoma (length 5728mm x 1910mm x height 1793mm).
Artist Vishnu Suresh has released an image CG (rendering) of such a Hilux that has been converted to flashy custom specifications, including extreme lowering.
In the published image CG, the Hilux has been lowered so much that it is no longer possible to drive on public roads, let alone off-road.
In addition, wide fenders are installed to increase the width of the car, giving it an unbelievably wide and low impression from the base car, and canards, under spoilers, a huge rear diffuser, and a small rear spoiler are also installed to give it a sporty atmosphere reminiscent of a racing car. The footpegs are equipped with a large, external caliper.
Large-diameter external wheels and Toyo Tires’ PROXES R888R high-performance tires are used to give the vehicle a racy look.
The car is also equipped with Toyo Tire’s high-performance PROXES R888R tires.
Vishnu Suresh creates customized renderings of various cars from Mercedes-Benz, KIA, Toyota, and others, and posts them on his social networking sites.
The renderings created by Mr. Vishnu Suresh are, of course, unrealistic, but since lowered Hilux models exist in reality, we cannot deny the possibility that such a customized model of the Hilux may one day appear in reality.

The current Hilux was customized by RV Park, the four-wheel drive vehicle customization division of Gunma Toyota Group (GTG), and displayed in the GTG booth at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2023, but upon closer inspection, the details differ from the model sold in Japan.
GTG explained that the “”HILUX ROGUE OVERLAND”” on display is an Australian version of the Hilux, saying, “”The OVERLAND CONCEPT was tailored based on the Australian version (wide body) of the Hilux. This is the Australian version of the HILUX.
A closer look at the HILUX OVERLAND reveals that it is equipped with unpainted plastic over fenders, which are not found on the Japanese version, to give it a wider body, and the characteristic trapezoidal grille is also surrounded by the same unpainted plastic protector-like design.
In addition, the right A-pillar is equipped with a snorkel designed for river crossing, which appears to be a locally available accessory as it has the Toyota emblem.
Furthermore, a closer inspection of the interior reveals that it is equipped with JBL speakers, which are not available in the Japanese version, suggesting that it is based on the “”Hilux Rogue”” grade, the highest grade available locally.
A representative of the RV park said, “”The Australian version features these large over fenders. It has a wide tread for driving in the Australian wilderness and is equipped with a special suspension that is different from the Japanese version.
The Australian version has been further customized by RV Park with four IPF driving lights and bronze skid plates. The tough impression is reinforced.
The suspension is fitted with twin Ohlins shocks, and the wheels are TCD Asia bronze wheels. The rims are deep and complex in design, tightening the footing.
The cargo area, the most distinctive feature of the Hilux, is equipped with a cargo rack bearing the “”TOYOTA”” logo. In addition to an escape plate in case of getting stuck, a roof-top tent is stored in the upper section to add a touch of adventure.
According to an RV park representative, “”As expected, we have no plans to sell this Australian version in Japan, but depending on the response we receive, we may be able to offer it in the future.
The possibility of introducing the tough-looking Hilux Rogue in Japan may not be zero..
