Vehicle theft, particularly of 4x4 pick-ups is increasingly common in areas not covered by CCTV such as rural villages, farms, construction sites and even car parks, we advise general vigilance around the rise in theft of 4x4 vehicles - consider fitting a tracker, using an Apple Airtag or similar tracking device, a shift lock, additional alarm system, a steering wheel lock and even some distinguishing features to deter criminals in isolated areas, particularly at night, and to help track the location of your vehicle if stolen Premium pick-up trucks are targeted for overseas export due to their high resale value, desirability and durability, don't let it be yours!! In partnership with Toyota Vehicle Crime Team we offer the following advice for owners of Hilux vehicles specifically: If your vehicle is 2024 or older contact your local Toyota Centre who will be able to make appropriate recommendations on additional security (these models do not have a factory fitted alarm system), 2025 models have new technology fitted reducing the risk of theft, for now If your vehicle has Connected Car capability – make sure it’s linked to the MyToyota App |
