I couldn’t afford a Hilux

smstoyloy · May 23, 2020

Happy to Join! Back in late 1974 at the end of the Vietnam War Era, after I was discharged from the USAF, I wanted to buy a Toyota Hilux. mechanical latches on the sides of the tailgate and all. But I could not afford the outrageous price of $3400. Well, all these years later I’ve had the pleasure of owning two pre-72 FJ Landcruisers (prior to 1979), 3 older Tacoma (prior to 2006; first one when it was just a little 2WD thing), Kijang (early SE Asia version of SUV while living in Indonesia), 2 4Runner, 1 Sequoia, 1 Fortuner (kinda SE Asia version of 4Runner while living in Indonesia a second time), 1 Tundra (more recnt; it was too big for me) and now my 2018 Tacoma TRD Offroad 4x4 V-8 with Diamondback Tonneau. I mostly joined to mine all the valueable information you folks have in regards to towing before I pick up an Airstream.
