Up Close With The Hilux

hah, practice.... that could lead to some interesting youtube videos
cool pics by the way. and you work for EMD? is that the big factory down the street from fanshaw college? noticed you were from london

 

TTYLERR: yes it is. Right next to the General Dynamics Light Armoured Vehicle plant.

 

This was my immediate reaction as well...

I prefer the styling of the Tacoma, I'd like the work-truck sensibilities of the Hilux wrapped in the Tacoma body style

 

YES!

Had the exact same thought.

 

Coincidence it looks so much like the UFP logo? I wonder!

 

I noticed the other day flipping through the channels that they drive a new decked out Hilux around in the show BBC show Primevil (or something along those lines).

Honestly after staring at it in action for a good while I think its one of the uglier trucks I've seen and kinda tacky looking. I thought it looked alright in pictures. The looks reminded me of some odd japanese 4x4 minivan. I think because of how tall the body is and how little the wheels/tires appear. It also looked more like a frontier than a tacoma.
