Fitting Out the Toyota Hilux: What Tradies Need to Know

The Toyota Hilux continues to be one of the most trusted work utes on Australian job sites, known for its durability, and reliability. At Tiger Trays Lansvale, we’re seeing strong demand for tailored tray setups as fit-out precision becomes more important with each new vehicle generation.

Supply & Fit: The Turn-Key Option
If you want your ute ready to work straight away, supply and fit is the most practical choice. This is a complete package where the tray, toolboxes, and accessories are supplied and professionally installed at Lansvale. Everything is fitted specifically for the Toyota Hilux, ensuring correct mounting and seamless integration with factory systems.
A key advantage of this option is the attention to factory electronics. We take care of relocating the reversing camera, parking sensors, and cross-traffic alert systems so they continue to function correctly with the new Tiger tray setup. All wiring and integration is handled professionally to maintain safety, reliability, and compliance.
This removes the guesswork and risk of doing it yourself; you don’t need to worry about alignment, fitment, or whether everything will perform properly under load. It’s the ideal choice for busy tradies who need a ute that’s ready to work from day one, with no delays or hassles.

Supply Only: Flexible and Custom Control
This option is designed for those who want full control over their build and have the skills or experience to complete the installation themselves. It’s best suited to automotive fitters, workshop professionals, or confident DIY builders who are comfortable with assembling and technical vehicle fitments.
The alloy tray is supplied as a flat-pack kit, arriving disassembled so you can assemble it from the ground up. This allows you the time to build your own tray at your own pace to suit your specific requirements, but it does mean it is not a simple bolt-on solution. Some mounting points are unmarked and not pre-drilled, so accurate measuring and drilling will be required during installation.
Electrical work is also left to the installer, with tail lights supplied unwired. These will need to be hardwired and correctly connected in line with vehicle lighting standards. Overall, this option offers maximum flexibility and customisation, but it requires a solid level of hands-on skill and attention to detail throughout the build.

Final Word
In summary, fitting out the Toyota Hilux comes down to choosing the right level of involvement for your needs. The Supply & Fit option is ideal for tradies who want a complete, professionally installed solution that works seamlessly from day one, with all factory systems properly integrated and no time lost on setup. On the other hand, the Supply Only option offers maximum flexibility for experienced tradies who prefer to customise and install their own setup. Both options are designed to suit different skill levels and job requirements, ensuring every Toyota Hilux can be configured to perform reliably on the job site.
