    Lol, people so insecure about other vehicles. I'd rock a hilux anyday. It's more of a "real truck" than a Tacoma is anyway.

    Utility. Trucks were made to be work vehicles. Then people bitch about mpgs, harsh ride, no creature comforts then the new ridgeline comes out and addresses all these issues. Then people bitch about how soft it looks and that it's not a real truck. Who cares.

    If you've ever driven/had a Hilux, and I have, these are more durable and spartan than any tacoma. They just don't have to cater to our north american desire to have a truck look "manly" and to be as comfortable to our obese fat asses.

    So they just stuck on a bunch of TRD badges and painted the skid red. Still beats talking to the toyota parts department.

    If I lived in Australia this is what I would have. The Australians probably think the Tacoma is a bloated ugly piece of crap. It's all about perspective.
