    Can you post up your importer again. I remember looking through there for a 70 series LC but I forgot their website.

    There will be no Hilux officially made/sold in the US, since we already have the tundra and tacoma. It would be redundant.
    Toyota, however, IS testing the feasibility of bringing the Hilux diesel to the US some time around 2019 (this has been speculated many times previously, and is not totally ready to announce officially - source: another Engineer who works with the powertrain developers in the testing facility). It'll be a while before it's announced, but Toyota is definitely not ignoring the demand. Just want to make sure they get it right, and also not ride the PR train with VW.

    Sounds excellent to me, put a d4d in a reintroduced regular cab and I'll pre-order it the day they announce it :fingerscrossed::burnrubber:

    You beat my wife to that Hilux, as she had been plotting on it for a bit.

    I agree, Steve is brutally honest with his details so that there are no hidden nightmares waiting for you.

    Not true, but I think new WW11 jeeps are still available in a crate.

    Right hand drive actually feels more natural to me and is certainly more comfortable, at least to me. Drive thru's are entertaining and unless I can sneak in from the other side, drive up ATMs are a no go. Grabbing burgers with the dog is always entertaining though.
