Tacoma HILUX Diesel, what a bada$$

I love Top Gear, and when I saw this episode I just had to show it to you guys. I wish Toyota sold us the HILUX models....
PS: second video, at about 1:20 mins, the coolest tire fix I've ever seen...DON"T TRY THAT AT HOME!! FIRST video, about 3:55 the Toyota is having some fun on the snow/ice =D

Seeing the Hilux when I was in Afghanistan this year is what sold me on the Tacoma Double Cab...yeah it's not diesel but I loved those things over there... And they looked nothing like the ones in these video's..

And I love this show also!

 

Apparently only euro models get the diesel.... even American companies like Jeep have diesel models for Europe...friggin BS, I'd buy a diesel Tacoma or Jeep in a heartbeat...

 

The Hilux is very sweet... Apparently it is much better built than the Tacoma as well.


Very sweet looking!

 

I like the idea of a diesel in the tacoms, but sorry that Hilux in the above pic looks like a Nissan Frontier..

May be bomb proof, but the short front is fugly.

 

i like the old hilux better
i know there is a guy here from iceland who has that set up. i know its got 38s but what lift,rim offset, and rim width?

 

The new hilux has more of a stiffer ride....im not really into that bumppy feal

 

I don't think the Hilux looks nearly as good as the Tacoma. However I would like the diesel engine they can get! The only Hilux that looks good to me is the arctic truck's one thats used in the Top Gear show.

 

I just posted the destruction test of it.

 

x2

 

Don't be too disappointed about Jeep diesels not available here - apparently they're awful. They put on in the Cherokee which was laughable apparently.

 

How would the rims from the Red HiLux look on a Tacoma. Hmmmmm.....

 

I was looking through a Diesel Power magazine the other day and noticed the Nissan Frontier has a model that's all diesel.. and achieved 28mpg..

wishing that toyota had the same kind of engine option, i did my search and found this..

*wishful thinking* import a hilux! I want my MPG!

 

^^It's called the Navara. We have the Navara and Hilux out here and I bought a Tacoma, go figure.

Why'd you buy a tacoma instead of a hilux?

 

^^Better looking, more power, better ride and more aftermarket parts. Also the police force use the Hilux to patrol the farm and mining communities in my country. It's a cop car basically.

 

more power? i haven't really looked into the hilux too much, but doesn't the hilux come with a diesel engine (more torque)?

I actually really like the way the Hilux looks... more than the Tacoma!

 

^^A very small 2.5L diesel engine. When I said more power I really meant the Tacoma was faster (0-60).
