Toyota Hilux N90 – Chassis-Mounted Trade Body

This Toyota Hilux N90 is proof that a dedicated work vehicle can still look properly finished. Fitted with our chassis-mounted three-door trade body, the build delivers secure storage, easy access and a clean colour-matched exterior.

The body replaces the factory tub and mounts directly to the chassis, creating a complete storage solution without requiring a separate tray and canopy. It is a practical configuration for tradies, technicians and anyone who needs to keep equipment organised and accessible throughout the working day.

Three-Door Trade Body

The defining feature of this build is its three-door design. Large gullwing doors on both sides provide clear access to the main storage area, while the rear door makes it easier to reach equipment from behind the vehicle.

Opening all three doors creates access across the width of the body, helping the owner reach tools and supplies without unloading everything in front of them. Gas struts support each door, while compression seals and whale-tail locks help keep the contents secure and protected.

The trade body includes:

• Lightweight aluminium construction
• Gullwing access from both sides
• Full-width rear access door
• Flush internal floor
• Internal mounting channels
• Colour-matched canopy doors
• Colour-matched underbody toolbox doors
• Integrated roof channels and load bars
• LED rear tail lights
• Full-width rear trundle drawer
• Multiple grab handles

Built for Practical Storage

The open internal layout provides a flexible starting point for a customised trade fit-out. Shelving, drawers, partitions and equipment holders can be added to suit the owner’s tools and workflow.

Lockable underbody toolboxes make productive use of the space around the wheel arches, keeping smaller equipment separate from the main compartment. At the rear, the full-width trundle drawer provides additional storage for longer items while its gas-strut-assisted lid creates easy access from above.

Roof-mounted channels and load bars add another carrying option for ladders, conduit and other long equipment.

Factory Features Retained

Replacing a factory tub should not mean losing the technology built into the vehicle. This setup incorporates dedicated reverse-camera and parking-sensor relocation points into the rear of the trade body.

Modern LED tail lights are integrated neatly around the rear panel, maintaining a clean finish and strong visibility. Flared guards accommodate the Hilux’s upgraded wheel and tyre package while reinforcing the vehicle’s broad, purposeful stance.

Why This Build Works

The colour-matched panels tie the trade body into the N90 Hilux’s factory paint, while the black frame, hardware and wheels add contrast without making the setup look overdone.

More importantly, every part of the build serves a purpose. Three-way access improves workflow, the underbody boxes and trundle drawer create dedicated storage, and the chassis-mounted construction produces one integrated package.

If you need a Hilux that can operate as a properly organised mobile workspace, this is a solid blueprint.
