My old Toyota Hilux vs new Tacoma.

Hilux - 2.8 Diesel 4x4. Mad upgrades.

Tacoma 3.5 V6 gas 4x2

 

Are you missing the 4x4 yet?

 

Woah. That's a sweet hilux!

 

Why not keep the Hilux?

 

Yes I miss 4x4, but miss the hilux more. Did all upgrade myself, you get the picture.

 

Weird. I never new the older pickups/hilux's had the option of a double cab in the states

 

Lived in South America, can't bring em here.
Drove through the Amazon rain forest to Brazil.

 

I've always loved the Hilux, shame we can't have them in the states. Especially the diesels like yours.

 

A moment of slience for that beautiful Hilux...

Like the mgm, how is the ride of the new one vs the hilux? The older trucks look awesome but I always imagined them riding like a tank with bricks for suspension?

 

Trip through the Amazon. That sounds like an amazing trip.

 

MGM ride is definitely better, but the Hilux ride was very good.
I sense team Hilux is winning the race!!

 

I would smack a baby for a truck like that...

 

Awesome and welcome to TW!

 

I prefer the Hilux but I'm weird. The more basic and uncivilized a vehicle is, the more I will like it.

 

That hilux was a beaut! I agree. I'd smack a baby for that truck. Hell, 2 babies!

 

Crossing the mighty Essequibo River @ Kurupukari crossing.
Noticed my Safari Snorkel turned backwards, helps with the dust.
It was fun sharing my memories with yall. Thanks.

 

Yeah man. Thanks for the share. Those are some great pics.

 

Holy crap man that is one sweet truck! I agree baby smacking in order to own one

 

Agree... thanks for sharing!

 

I have the same Hilux RHD though here in BC, plus the 2016 DCLB TRD sport.
Hilux is currently getting a few repairs and service things done to it but after 11 years of owning it and sinking lots of $$$ in jewellery it has been by far my most fun vehicle ever. It has a Turbo and injector mods done and has maybe 150 HP ( Guessing ) Plus hundreds of scratches and dents from wheeling and driving it everywhere
Once its running Im going to hook it up to the new Tacoma and see which actually pulls better, tug strap style on level gravel somewhere.
