Toyota updates Tacoma-sized Hilux with rugged new look, 2.8-liter turbodiesel

And then they just let the franchise nose dive with each successive installment. 3 was cool, because it showed the missile launch, and it was a sentimental moment. 4 was SUPPOSED to be better, but it was still aight. 5? I’m like...what is happening here. You made John Connor the bad guy? Fuck you bro. Thanks for ruining my life. I’m not even going to touch 6. You talk any shit about 6 and you get #metoo ‘ed

 

Dammit! So the Terminators will look like cats?

 

Agreed. These international trucks all share a common design language... narrow bodies, tall bed sides, small windows, ugly proportions. The Tacoma has a flatter, leaner look, like an alligator, which I love.

 

Jumping the shark is a profession these days. Gotta be sure that it is dead. Then make one more just to be certain.

 

It's Terminat-ress!

 

Back in my younger days we called it Mod and did ride scooters. Now I am old and I need a grab handle on the left side to get my Scooter A$$ in my Tacoma wearing a stylish flannel bought at Nordstrom,s.

 

Oops sorry just threw up.

 

Yet another instance of correlation does not mean causation. Sorry your pp smol, bro.

I do miss my 1st gen that could make it up ATV trails cuz of how narrow it was. I do not miss moving all over the US, trying to fit my life in that thing though.

 

In this timeline? I prefer they look like snails. Same size and speed. But they probably gonna look like this. That’s a hard pass from me, dawg


I’d rather fight a regular terminator. This other thing does a background check and puts you on a no fly list before it shoots you in the face.

 

You need less stuff. I moved my whole life in an 01

 

Spirit of ‘69

 

You aren't wrong. I purged a lot of stuff before my last set of moves. But now that I moved into a house, I def expanded to the volume of my container. Mainly in the garage. DIdn't add a ton of stuff inside the house. That Marie Condo lady can really get you cleaning house halfway through a pack of white claws.

 

Bro you bought a house. Once you do that, you fill it. Even if you don’t want to. I’ve always been a hardline minimalist. Now between the John Connor fiasco and a garage full of metal working tools, a basement gym/bike shop, my life is ruined.

 

Glad I'm not the only one sheesh

 

I like that the Hilux thread morphed into a discussion of the current state of the terminator franchise. Well done!

I don't know brah. I find it kinda hard to be intimidated by a robot that wears pants.

 

I'm more concerned what messed up crap is going on under the pants

#AndroPenis

 

Yeah. No amount of rape-whistling is going to save you from that.

 

So how much more does this hilux tow than a v6 taco?

 

No.
