The fourth-generation Hilux was released in November 1983. The rear-wheel-drive (RWD) models included the Comfortable series and the Popular series; the former was the fourth-generation model with renewed interior and exterior design, while the latter was the third-generation model that remained in production. All 4-wheel-drive (4WD) models came with a new body. The external appearance of the fourth-generation models were characterized by their blister fenders in the front and rear.

The engine lineup for RWD models included 1.6- and 1.8-liter gasoline engines (12R-J, 2Y) and 2.2- and 2.4-liter diesel units (L, 2L), and that for 4WD models included a 2-liter gasoline unit (3Y-J) and a 2.4-liter diesel (2L). Single- and double-cab versions were also available, and the total number of model variations increased from 17 to 20. A high-floor bed model with bottom-hinged gates on three sides also joined the lineup at this model generation.

In May 1984, Toyota's first sport utility vehicle Hilux Surf (known as the 4Runner in overseas markets) was released, which was a station wagon based on the fourth-generation Hilux 4WD.
