    My good buddy from work lives a stone's throw away from Toyota corporate in Torrance, CA. He said he spotted 2 Hiluxs with dealer plates with no camo. He also hinted that Toyota might, as a cost cutting measure, import the Hilux here and do away with the current style Taco. Which kind of makes sense since the Taco is only made for North America while the Hilux is sold around the world.
