Toyota Hilux Vigo vs Revo Parts Compatibility

The Hilux Vigo (2004–2015) and Hilux Revo (2015 onward) sit side by side in many markets. Fleets run both, workshops service both, and distributors are regularly asked whether a Vigo part will fit a Revo or the reverse. The short answer is that the Revo is a new generation with a new engine family, body and interior, so most parts are not interchangeable. There are exceptions, and knowing where they are helps with stock planning.

This guide sets out the main differences by system and the method to confirm interchange for any specific part.

Generation overview

	Hilux Vigo	Hilux Revo
Platform codes	AN10 / AN20 / AN30	AN120 / AN130
Production	2004–2015 (varies by market)	2015 onward
Main diesel engines	1KD-FTV (3.0), 2KD-FTV (2.5)	1GD-FTV (2.8), 2GD-FTV (2.4)
Petrol engines	1TR-FE (2.0), 2TR-FE (2.7)	2TR-FE (2.7), with other petrol options by market
Typical model code families	KUN (KD diesel), TGN (TR petrol)	GUN (GD diesel), TGN (TR petrol)

Both generations received facelifts and running changes during production, so parts can also differ within a generation. The newer Hilux Champ, introduced in 2023, is a separate vehicle and should not be assumed to share parts with either.

Engine: KD versus GD

This is the largest area of difference, and for diesel vehicles it drives most service-parts demand.

• Timing drive. The 1KD-FTV and 2KD-FTV use a timing belt, which is a scheduled replacement item along with its tensioner and idler. The 1GD-FTV and 2GD-FTV use a timing chain. A distributor supporting Vigo diesels needs timing belts and kits; Revo diesels instead generate occasional demand for timing chain components.
• Filters. Oil, fuel and air filter specifications differ between the engine families. Do not assume a Vigo diesel filter fits a Revo diesel.
• Engine internals, gaskets and seals. Different engines, different parts. Pistons, rings, bearings, head gaskets and full gasket sets are engine-specific.
• Fuel injection and turbo. Both families are common-rail turbo diesels, but injectors, pumps, turbochargers and sensors are specific to each engine.
• Emissions equipment. Depending on the market, GD-engined vehicles may be fitted with a diesel particulate filter and related sensors. Market specification must be confirmed before quoting these parts.

The exception: 2TR-FE petrol. The 2TR-FE engine is used in both generations. Many of its service parts, such as filters and spark plugs, may be shared, but ancillary parts such as intake ducting, hoses, brackets and some sensors can differ because the engine bay layout changed. Confirm by OEM number.

Transmission and driveline

The Revo introduced six-speed manual and automatic transmissions in place of the Vigo's five-speed manual and four- or five-speed automatic units, with availability depending on engine and market. Clutch kits, gearbox components, transmission mounts and filters should be treated as generation-specific. Propeller shafts, universal joints and CV joints may also differ in length, flange design or spline count. Differential components are the most likely to show some commonality, but gear ratios vary by variant.

Brakes, suspension and steering

Both generations use a double-wishbone front suspension with a leaf-spring rear on pickup variants, and both commonly use front disc and rear drum brakes. That shared layout is the reason Vigo/Revo interchange questions arise, but a shared layout does not mean shared parts.

• Brake pads and rotors: caliper design and rotor size vary by generation, drive type and ride height. Check the Toyota front pad kit number (04465 prefix) for each vehicle rather than assuming.
• Control arms, ball joints and bushings: geometry changed with the new chassis; assume different unless the catalog confirms a shared number.
• Leaf springs and shock absorbers: differ by generation, cab type and load rating.
• Tie rod ends and rack ends: check separately for LHD and RHD, and for power steering type.

Both generations use a 6x139.7 mm wheel bolt pattern, so wheels are often physically compatible. Offset, center bore, brake clearance and tire load rating still need to be checked before substituting wheels.

Body, lighting, glass and interior

These are effectively all different. The Revo has a new body shell, cab, bed, lamps, grille, bumpers, glass, mirrors and interior trim. Even within the Revo, facelift models changed front-end parts such as grilles, bumpers and headlamps. Specify the facelift phase, and always specify left- and right-hand parts separately.

Electrical

Alternators, starter motors, sensors and switches are generally engine- or generation-specific. Bulbs, some relays and fuses are the most common shared items. Battery fitment depends on the tray size, terminal layout and market specification; confirm the battery code on the vehicle rather than by generation.

Summary: likelihood of interchange

System	Vigo ↔ Revo interchange	Action
Diesel engine parts and service filters	Not interchangeable (different engine family)	Stock separately
2TR-FE petrol service parts	Sometimes shared	Verify each OEM number
Timing drive	Belt (KD) vs chain (GD)	Stock separately
Transmission, clutch	Generally different	Verify by model code
Brakes, suspension, steering	Generally different	Verify by drive type and OEM number
Body, lamps, glass, trim	Different	Stock separately
Bulbs, fuses, some relays	Often shared	Verify rating and base type

How to verify interchange

1. Obtain the OEM number for the part on each vehicle from a VIN-based catalog, or from the part itself.
2. Compare the full numbers, including suffix. Identical numbers, or numbers linked by a documented supersession, indicate interchange.
3. For aftermarket parts, check that the product's reference list covers both OEM numbers, not just "Hilux 2004–2020".
4. For dimensional parts, compare key dimensions as a second check.
