    I was driving on the I-15 freeway in Salt Lake City yesterday afternoon and a Toyota Hilux pulls up next to me on the on ramp! I pulled my phone out as soon as I could to snap a picture.

    It's in front of the white Honda Pilot. I did not recognize the plates on the truck and am pretty sure they weren't American. This totally threw me off though!

    Not really sure how taco > hilux.. visually yes but technically they have a better, more robust drivetrain (talking new to new), fully boxed frame, diseal, among some other things. They are ugly as sin though.... taco's got them way beat on that department.

    I wonder if an engine swap would be a reasonable possibility:confused:

    Stick on hood scoop from Autozone.
    They aren't aggressive enough for me. I'd never drive one. I don't care what's under the hood.


    But yeah, I see them from time to time here in San Diego. They all have Mexican plates.

    I just wish they'd offer a diesel option engine like on the Hilux on American market Tacoma's. I fired off an email to Toyota letting em know that, they say they have no intention of offering a diesel Tacoma in US in near future, that sucks!

    in honduras, virtually everyone drives hulixes, the new ones are nice, but the hulix is more of a work truck that is bare bones, no creature comforts like the tacoma
