Shifters for Toyota Pickup / Hilux
Toyota Pickup manual transmissions vary by year, engine, & driveline configuration; most shifters only fit one model and so it is crucial to know which transmission you have. We have assembled this chart for domestic (USA) Toyota trucks but it may contain errors; refer to the Vehicle ID tag if possible.

Chart assumes driveline is original; if not, physical identification may be needed (see below). For models outside USA, this information may not be valid or may cover wider ranges. Some lines are condensed. The intent of this information is solely to identify shifter model; this is NOT an interchange guide!
