Parts for your 2019 Toyota Hilux-Engine mount

2019 Toyota HiLux engine mount – what it does and when to replace it

Engine mounts absolutely are fitted to the 2019 Toyota HiLux and are relevant to servicing this ute. Technical sources including the Toyota Electronic Parts Catalogue for the AN120/AN130 HiLux series and Toyota service information for the 1GD-FTV/2GD-FTV engines list left and right “engine mounting insulators,” along with a separate transmission mount. Australian/NZ fitment catalogues from Mackay Consolidated also show direct replacement mounts for 2015–2020 HiLux models, confirming their use across the range.

On a 2019 HiLux, the engine mounts hold the engine in the bay, keep the driveline aligned, and soak up vibration so the cabin doesn’t buzz. They’re typically rubber or fluid-filled (hydraulic) insulators sitting on each side of the block, working with the gearbox mount to control movement on take-off, gear changes, and over corrugations.

During regular servicing, a quick visual and functional check of the mounts makes sense—especially if the vehicle tows, carries heavy loads, or sees outback tracks. Look for perished rubber, cracked bonding, collapsed height, or any fluid weeping from hydraulic mounts. Excess vibration at idle (in gear), a knock on throttle on/off, or noticeable engine rock when blipping the throttle are classic clues the mounts are tired.

• Inspect with a good light: check both side mounts and the gearbox mount.
• Note any contact between the engine/exhaust and bodywork—often a sign of a sagged mount.
• If one side has failed or sagged, consider replacing mounts in pairs to keep balance and ride quality.

Replacement is straightforward but should be done carefully. Support the engine with a jack and a timber block under the sump or use an engine support bar. Loosen and remove the mount fasteners, swap the insulator, then lower the engine and torque all hardware to the Toyota spec with the vehicle at normal ride height. After fitting, recheck clearances for the fan shroud, exhaust, and hoses. Genuine, OEM-equivalent, or quality aftermarket mounts are all options in Australia and New Zealand—prioritise parts that match OE hardness and construction so the HiLux keeps its tidy NVH and driveline alignment.

Do all 2019 Toyota HiLux models have engine mounts?

Yes. Whether it’s the 2.8L 1GD-FTV or 2.4L 2GD-FTV diesel, or the market-specific 2.7L petrol, every 2019 HiLux uses left and right engine mounting insulators plus a transmission mount. The exact design and part numbers vary by engine and drivetrain, but the function and service approach are the same.

How long do engine mounts last on a 2019 HiLux, and what are the tell-tale signs?

Many last well beyond 100,000 km, but heavy towing, corrugations, heat, and oil contamination can shorten their life. Signs include increased vibration at idle, a thud on take-off or shift, visible perishing or leaking from a hydraulic mount, and the engine sitting lower on one side.

Is it safe to drive a HiLux with a failed engine mount?

It’ll usually still drive, but it’s not ideal. Excess movement can stress exhaust flex joints, hoses, and driveline components, and the vibration gets old fast. If a mount is clearly failed or collapsed, it’s wise to sort it promptly to avoid knock-on damage.
