Not from stock today — our current inventory is left-hand drive (LHD), sourced from mainland China. What we can do is source a right-hand-drive (RHD) Toyota Hilux diesel 4x4 to order for Kenya, mainly 2018–2022 Hilux 2.4 GD-6 and 2.8 GD-6, and confirm availability, price and lead time before you commit. Prices typically run $18,000–$28,000 depending on grade, mileage, and configuration. Share your budget and we'll send matching units. WhatsApp +86 155 5692 0288.

We are a direct exporter, not agency, not aggregator. That means you are dealing with the party that actually sources, inspects, and ships the vehicle — not a middleman passing your inquiry to a third party. For Kenyan buyers, this matters because RHD diesel 4x4 Hilux units are in steady demand, and the difference between a clean direct export and a brokered deal usually shows up in the condition report, the paperwork, and the final landed cost.

What drives the price of a RHD Hilux diesel 4x4 for Kenya?

The $18,000–$28,000 range is not arbitrary. Several concrete factors move a Hilux up or down within that band:

  • Engine and trim: The 2.4 GD-6 is the workhorse spec and generally sits at the lower end. The 2.8 GD-6, especially in higher grades such as SR5, Legend, or Invincible, commands more because of power, torque, and interior equipment.
  • Year of manufacture: A 2018 unit will price below a 2022 unit of the same spec. Kenyan import rules also make age a compliance issue, not just a price issue, so the model year affects both cost and eligibility.
  • Mileage: Low-mileage examples (under 80,000 km) carry a premium. High-mileage fleet units can be cheaper but need closer inspection of suspension, clutch, and turbo condition.
  • Drivetrain and body: A true 4x4 double cab is worth more than a 4x2 single cab. If you need a specific bed length, canopy, or factory diff lock, that narrows supply and can raise the price.
  • Grade and condition: Auction grade, accident history, rust, and interior wear all feed into the final number. A grade 4.5 unit with clean undercarriage will sit above a grade 3.5 unit with cosmetic issues.
  • Transmission: Automatic versus manual matters in Kenya. Automatic 2.8 GD-6 units are popular in urban use; manual 2.4 GD-6 units are common in commercial fleets.

Because RHD is the requirement for Kenya, we tell you upfront whether a compliant unit can be sourced, then match engine, grade, and budget.

Shipping, taxes, and the real landed cost in Kenya

The sticker price is only part of what you pay. Kenyan buyers should plan for the following:

  • Freight: Ocean freight from major export ports to Mombasa varies with vessel space, season, and whether you choose RoRo or container. RoRo is often cheaper for a single vehicle; container gives more protection and allows extra parts.
  • Marine insurance: Usually a small percentage of the vehicle value. Do not skip it on a 4x4 that may be transshipped.
  • Import duty and taxes: Kenya applies import duty, excise, VAT, and the Railway Development Levy. These are calculated on the customs value, which is based on the vehicle's CRSP or assessed value, not simply what you paid. The age of the vehicle affects the applicable rates.
  • KEBS and compliance: Vehicles must meet Kenya Bureau of Standards requirements, including the RHD rule and the maximum age limit for used imports. We confirm the model year and spec before shipping so you are not stuck with a unit that cannot clear.
  • Port and clearing charges: Mombasa handling, storage, and clearing agent fees add to the total. A good clearing agent is worth the cost.
  • Inland transport: If the vehicle is going to Nairobi, Eldoret, or Kisumu, budget for transport from Mombasa.

When you ask for a quote, tell us your budget and your preferred port of discharge. We can give you a realistic landed-cost estimate rather than a misleadingly low FOB number. WhatsApp +86 155 5692 0288 with your target figure and we will send matching units with photos, mileage, and grade — or a confirmed RHD sourcing quote if that is what you need.

How do I verify the vehicle and the paperwork before paying?

Verification is where a direct exporter earns trust. For each Hilux we offer, we can provide:

  • Inspection report: Photos and notes on the engine bay, undercarriage, body panels, interior, and odometer. For diesel 4x4 units, we pay attention to turbo condition, injector health, and 4WD engagement.
  • Auction sheet or condition report: Where available, this shows the official grade and any noted repairs or accident history.
  • Export documents: Invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and certificate of origin as applicable. These are the documents your Kenyan clearing agent will need.
  • Deregistration and export certificate: Confirms the vehicle has been legally exported from the source market.
  • Mileage verification: Where the market provides it, we share auction mileage and service records. We do not present rolled-back odometers as low-mileage units.

You are welcome to arrange a third-party inspection before shipment. We would rather you verify than gamble. If a unit does not match the report, we will tell you before you pay, not after.

How do I order and pay?

The process is straightforward and built for buyers who cannot visit the yard in person:

  • Step 1 — Share your requirement: Send your budget, preferred year range, engine (2.4 or 2.8), transmission, and whether you need double cab or single cab. WhatsApp +86 155 5692 0288.
  • Step 2 — Receive matching units: We send photos, specs, mileage, grade, and a price. If you want a landed-cost estimate for Mombasa, ask for it.
  • Step 3 — Confirm and reserve: Once you choose a unit, we issue a proforma invoice. A deposit reserves the vehicle and starts the export process.
  • Step 4 — Payment: We accept bank transfer (T/T). For larger orders or repeat buyers, terms can be discussed. We do not ask for payment to personal accounts.
  • Step 5 — Shipping and documents: We book freight, send you the bill of lading and export documents, and keep you updated until the vessel arrives in Mombasa.
  • Step 6 — Clearing and delivery: Your clearing agent handles customs. We can recommend agents if you do not have one.

Because we are a direct exporter, not an agency or aggregator, you get one point of contact from inquiry to shipment. That reduces the chance of miscommunication on spec, price, or documents.

Why Kenyan buyers choose the Hilux diesel 4x4

The Hilux 2.4 GD-6 and 2.8 GD-6 have a strong reputation in Kenya for durability, parts availability, and resale value. The 4x4 system handles rough roads and light off-road use, while the diesel engine delivers the torque and fuel economy that fleet operators and private owners expect. RHD configuration is mandatory for Kenyan roads, so we treat it as the first filter rather than an afterthought.

If you are comparing a Hilux against a similar pickup, consider total cost of ownership: fuel, service intervals, parts, and how easily you can resell. The Hilux usually holds value well, which is why clean RHD diesel 4x4 units move quickly. If you see a unit you like, do not wait too long — good examples are often reserved within days.
