European Tacoma version.

How is that if it is basically the same??? Maybe im wrong.

 

Cause it's not. They're completely two different trucks. The only thing they share in common is size, a toyota badge and climate controls. There might be some other things, but the engines are all different, the frame is more heavy duty, fully boxed and that thing is a half ton versus our quarter ton.

 

hilux, we have those in Mexico

 

looks like a nissan

 

I'd take that over our US versions any day. Turbo diesel > gas.

This is ugly?

 

its ulgy in a city but if i was there i would be happy to drive that

 

Well I do like the fully boxed frame idea...I wish we had that. And a Diesel opt.

 

that is why some people ship cheap Toyota Tacoma parts to Europe since they fit Hilux

I like where the antenna is located

 

Some parts. Not all. That's why Toyota is on top. They use many of the same parts for different vehicles. Unlike GM who has like 5 different engines for their Sierra. But saying the Tacoma is a Hilux and vice versa is just plain incorrect on many levels.

They both have their plus and minuses. I can see the use for a diesel and I've driven them, but I'll keep my gasser.

 

This truck looks a lot better in person then on the pictures especially when you have 3.0 turbo diesel engine.
I spoke with the dude and he started the truck for me it sound it bad @ss I wished North America offered turbo diesel option.

 

looks like a cheesed version of a subaru for those euros

 

I read this thread twice thinking WTF before I figured out my dyslexia was acting up.

 

That cutie is saying to her husband WTF, and who’s picture are you taking my or the truck’s. LOL

 

That's hot.
The grey one at the top of the thread is kinda.....ghey......I guess they're suited to be razz'd out.

 

I'd take a Tacoma over a Hilux any day

 

ive driven a couple one older and one newer a few years ago, when i was over seas both were diesels and i beat the shit out of them. they were pretty sick but i like my taco more

 

Hilux

 

I like the looks of the Tacoma more. The Hilux is too stylized for my taste. A truck should look like a truck, that thing looks like an Avalanche or something.
