Top 5 Accessories for the Toyota Hilux Revo
Share
The Hilux GD6 is already a legend. Here's how to make it unstoppable.
The Toyota Hilux GD6 (2016 - 2025) remains one of the most popular double-cab bakkies on South African roads — and for good reason. It's tough, reliable, and capable straight from the factory. But if you're using yours for overlanding, farm work, or serious off-road driving, the stock setup is just the starting point.
Here are the top 5 accessories we recommend for the Hilux GD6 at Advanced 4x4 — all bolt-on, all built for SA conditions.
1. 🛡️ Bull Bar or Nudge Bar
Front-end protection is the first upgrade most GD6 owners make — and for good reason. Whether you're navigating bush tracks, dealing with livestock on farm roads, or just want a more aggressive look, a quality bull bar or nudge bar is essential.
We stock the full ARTAV stainless steel range for the Hilux GD6, manufactured in South Africa using marine-spec Grade 304 stainless steel with robotic precision. These are simulation-tested for airbag compatibility and endurance-tested over 100,000 km — not just good-looking, but genuinely engineered for protection.
What to look for: Airbag-compatible design, bolt-on fitment, stainless or powder-coated finish, and a manufacturer with a proven track record.
2. 📈 Air Spring Suspension Kit
If you carry loads, tow a trailer, or run a canopy on your GD6, the factory rear suspension will eventually let you down. An air spring kit from Air Spring Supply gives you adjustable load support — inflate for heavy loads, deflate for an unladen ride.
The result is a level vehicle, reduced body roll, better braking, and a dramatically more comfortable ride on corrugated roads. Bolt-on fitment means no permanent modifications to your GD6.
Best for: Overlanders, farmers, tradespeople, and anyone who regularly tows or carries heavy loads.
3. 🪵 Side Steps or Side Bars
The Hilux GD6 sits high — which is great for ground clearance, but not always practical for passengers or loading the load bed. A set of quality side steps or side bars adds both functionality and styling.
ARTAV's side step range for the GD6 is available in stainless steel and matt black finishes, with a non-slip step surface and a bolt-on bracket system that fits without drilling or cutting.
Double-cab vs extra-cab: Make sure you select the correct fitment for your body style — step lengths differ between variants.
4. 🏋️ Sports Bar
A sports bar (also called a roll bar or styling bar) mounts in the load bed and adds a rugged, purposeful look to your GD6 while providing a mounting point for accessories like lights, awnings, and roof racks.
ARTAV's sports bars are manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel with a polished or matt black finish. They're designed to complement the GD6's lines without requiring any permanent modifications to the load bed.
5. 🚛 Towbar
The Hilux GD6 is a capable tow vehicle — but only if it's fitted with the right towbar. ARTAV's SABS-approved towbars are engineered specifically for the GD6's chassis, rated for the vehicle's towing capacity, and finished to match the vehicle's underbody.
Whether you're towing a caravan, boat, horse float, or work trailer, a properly rated towbar is non-negotiable for safety and legality on SA roads.
