The Hi-Lux automobile platform is Toyota Motor Corporation's global small truck platform. The platform has been used to support the Hi-Lux light pickup truck, Hi-Lux Surf SUV, and versions modified and renamed for the North American market: Toyota Tacoma (known earlier simply as the Toyota pickup) and the Toyota 4Runner, respectively.
This platform has gone through seven distinct generations, although some of the later derivative vehicles (specifically, the Hi-Lux Surf/4Runner) have gone though fewer. In general, the platform and the pickup truck based off it are considered to be of the same vintage; for example, a 3rd generation Hi-Lux is based on the 3rd generation Hi-Lux platform.
