Choosing a tray for your HiLux

The right tray depends on your HiLux cab, the loads you carry and your budget. Most owners pick an alloy tray for weight savings (better payload, no rust); heavy industrial users sometimes prefer steel. See our aluminium vs steel comparison if you’re unsure.

Typical HiLux tray sizes

Tray length depends on your cab. The figures below are typical guides — your final dimensions depend on the HiLux model and tray model you choose. We size every Duratray build to suit your vehicle.

HiLux cab	Common tray length	Notes
Single cab	≈ 2,400 mm	Max deck length, biggest payload
Extra (space) cab	≈ 2,100 mm	Balance of cab + deck
Dual cab	≈ 1,800 mm	Most common; family + work

Width is typically around 1,800–1,900 mm to suit Australian load patterns and pallets.

HiLux tray options we build

Oz Panther Aluminium — popular, value-led alloy tray.
Elite Aluminium — heavy-duty alloy with reinforced dropsides.
