@Richard,
The Hilux and the Datsun pickups are very similar sizes with the Toyota slightly wider. For the Hilux, I constructed the towbar from plastic rod as below. I used cyanoacrylate glue to construct it and it turned out quite strong so would probably tow on track.
A while ago I wanted to be able to tow behind a Scalextric Datsun pickup so made a tow-hook from 1.5mm copper wire (twin and earth) and attached it using a screw and some sort of glue. Has not had a lot of use but works great.
