Check out pics of Austrailia Tacos (called 'Helix')

Wow.... Something else, aren't they ? (Notice I am reserving my comments....)




One more !!

 

Nice but glad I live in the US. Front kinda reminds me of a Frontier.

 

i think they look much nicer than there US counter parts..IMHO

 

Now the owners of these HeLux(es) or whatever need to take their truck in to the Dealership for Leaf Spring and Bent Tailgate TSB work, Ha ha ha !!

First they have to load their truck with 8, 40 lbs of Home Depot sandbags...

 

damn.......the silver hilux just gave me a woody!!!! that truck was badass!!!

 

truck looks pretty nice more smoothed out adn sporty as opposed to the US version...only thing is the headlights are similar to the toyota rav4...eh its cool

 

Cool trucks!! They all look stock except the white one. Just googled "Austrailian toyota" Accorbing to Autoblog these are concept trucks.Maybe Generation 3??

 

Well our trucks and the hiluxs were the same car until this last body redesign came out in 05. The Hilux is what the tacoma was called in the rest of the world since conception just they used a different name here and apparently in Canada as well. The Hilux camper was actually 4runner. Here in Tucson I see Hiluxs frequently. I would also like one mostly due the 3 liter turbo diesel they have available

 

thanks for posting those pics and im with tacomaman, that silver one looks bad ass, but yeah, it does remind me a frontier too.

 

I like everything except the front end. i like our grill better

 

I like our front ends better too, but that isn't what I want...

I want the 3.0L D4D Turbo Diesel engines that you can get under the bonnet (hood).

 

Dude, it's called a Hilux. Not a Helix... lol

 

Factory Michelins or Bridgestone revos, but I like what I got.

 

I hear the production versions are running a blown 4.0L pushing 300hp and 300+ lb-ft. i wouldnt mind that in my taco.

 

Very nice!...The red one looks like a plastic toy!...I think I would ace the roll bar!

 

I'd get the silver one in a heartbeat.. sans the rollbar.

 

yeah i'm not sure if i like it or not. Not like the initial reaction to seeing the first 05 Taco. I wonder what the interior looks like.

 

I believe, and don't quote me, but I believe that the Hilux is available in only a right side drive. What a pain at the McD's Drivethru!

*Edit* I smoke crack, I saw pictures of a hilux in left hand drive. Just erase this from your memory.
