Hi Randy, it's possible that you have a short or load somewhere. If you have tested the alternator and replaced the battery it's more likely that the fault is somewhere else. Check any extra accessories or connections which are not standard for the Hilux. It appears that there's a short or extra heavy load somewhere which is switched on with the ignition or accessories.
What work has been done lately? Any new accessories or a bullbar or winch? Look for a trapped wire.
Disconnect the positive on the battery and check the load with ignition all off, accessories on and engine ignition on and see if there's any unusual electrical loads.
Cheers Gipsy
