Third‑Generation Launch
The N40 was part of the third‑generation Hilux lineup (RN30, RN40) that went on sale in September 1978, marking a major redesign after the second generation (N20) introduced in 1972.
Generational Timeline
The Hilux series started with the N10 in March 1968, followed by the N20 in 1972, the N30/N40 third generation in 1978, and then the fourth generation (N50, N60, N70) released in November 1983.
Early Model Expansions
Just over a year after the original launch, the Hilux range grew in April 1969 to include a long‑wheelbase model, and by February 1971 a new variant had arrived, showing Toyota’s rapid development of the line before the N40 era.
