    Perfect.

    Parking lots are technically "offroad" I guess.

    We should look at how the front driver seat is positioned before jumping to factual conclusion

    As far as seating position goes, the driver of the Tacoma is an inch taller than me.

    The Hilux has more headroom. Her Tacoma didn't have a sunroof. The Hilux has no seat height adjustment.

    The seats in the Hilux to me were more comfortable. With that said the ride is harsher in the Hilux with the solid front axle. I went on a 2 hour road trip with her in her Tacoma last month and it wasn't bad.

    Funny that the '88 Hilix has more rear passenger legroom than our modern Tacos. Anywho nice truck truck @Friggin Fuego, I'd trade my truck for a showroom quality classic like yours any day. Back then vehicles had more character, IMO.

    When I was in my teens working at a pizza place we had a delivery driver that had a RHD Honda Prelude. I asked him about drive thrus and parrallel parking and he said the same thing, "you get used to it".

    BUCKLE UP! It makes it harder for Aliens to pull you out of your Truck.
    If possible could you post a side view of the Hilux? That stripe kit looks very similar to what my last truck had and I'm thinking of replicating something similar for my truck and thanks!

    The front seats in the Hilux are pushed way more forward. Just look at the seat alignment with the B pillar. I can also make my Taco look like it has Limo space in the back. Ask me how I know ;)

    Edit: Also look at how long the seats are in the Hilux vs the Taco. The Taco has at least two more inches of seating space.

    Meh....I think the disadvantages of an SFA outweigh the advantages on a daily driver. I prefer my truck to not ride like a donkey cart and require religious tire rotations and be suceptable to death wobble. Stock mini truck birfs aren't very strong either.

    My Jeep had a SFA. Unless you are a hard core off-roader. You are better off with independent front suspension.
