Toyota Hilux (2004) 3.0 D-4D 171 hp — mass-market diesel engine of the passenger segment of the Toyota Motor Corporation group (Япония, 1937). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 171 to 205 hp (+34 hp, +20%) and torque from 360 to 480 Nm (+120 Nm). Diesel engines built in 2004 — the era of classic Common Rail without strong encryption.

GR (Gazoo Racing) is Toyota's performance division (GR Yaris, GR Corolla, GR Supra, GR86). Mid-range Toyota diesels are a high-volume chip tuning subject for pickups. Toyota's diesel range is aimed mainly at pickups and SUVs (Hilux, Land Cruiser). The Toyota Hilux is the world's best-selling pickup and a high-volume tuning subject.

Stage 1 on Toyota diesels delivers a noticeable torque gain, ideal for pickups. The GR models (Yaris GR, Supra) have a growing tuning culture. The Denso ECU is a locked Toyota platform, and most models do not respond to standard chip tuning. The locked Denso platform requires a dedicated tuning toolset.
