The Hilux might not be the only Toyota product that we Americans don't get, but with respect to our collective want for JDM jewels like the Alphard, Aygo and of course the noble Crown, it's the forbidden-fruit pickup that we most lust after. As you'd suspect, announcing a new Invincible trim-level for the truck doesn't make us want the thing any less, either.

Toyota Europe announced some specifics of the HiLux Invincible in a press release today, noting that the new grade adds a does of style to match the trucks hard-won reputation for toughness. Chrome accents, two-tone alloy wheels and an all-black leather package don't exactly scream "indomitable" to us, but the Hilux does look pretty spiffy.

In terms of function, the Invincible should still prove plenty rugged. The truck can be had with two-or four-wheel drive, manual or automatic transmissions and with the buyer's choice of a 2.5-liter or 3.0-liter diesel engines. Follow on to find a brief press release from Toyota Europe.
