Found this on Ebay.

A little less chrome, no ugly stripe and some tires and ..............

 

holy @#% talk about fugly. I love the specs tho.

 

I like the look of the taco better but that diesel would be a nice option.

 

Damn that's ugly how it sits, but has a ton of potential!!

 

I don't like the Hilux, I never have liked the Hilux, nor will I ever like the Hilux so as long as they continue to look the way they look. Looks like those ugly ass Isuzu trucks.

 

looks like the honda.

 

I want the motor and the manual tranfer case. I'll leave the rest.

 

Yeah I don't get the whole Hilux rage. That whole truck just looks cheap and generic to me. I think I would rather drive a Ridgeline than that Hilux.

 

Looks aside, I'd buy it today because of the D4D, but since it can't be registered in the USA or Canada...

 

Looks like it has big thick nerd glasses in that front view. Fugly. LOL at 1909 in the listing title.

 

for a 1909 model, that's not too bad....

1. take off all the chrome
2. lose the ghey stripe
3. level it out and bring it up 3"
4. get rid of that huge rounded bumper maybe even swap out for some 2nd gen fenders
5. new shoes

then maybe you have something respectable and won't be mistaken for a honda

edit: or just take the engine and put it in my truck

edit 2: "Before the purchase of this rare truck; the buyer and I must communicate over the phone first to discuss Title and Paperwork that goes with the Truck to understand all details with this purchase. "
wonder what this is all about? you must have a mailing address in Australia in order to register this vehicle?

 

It's only about 20 minutes away from me.

 

wtf is up with the rear bumper?

looks like the wrong one, or someone mounted it in the wrong location

 

except for the manual tranny, that's my dream truck (updated for the cheezy crap all over it and tiny tires)... if it was an auto, i'd probably buy it right now.

 

yeah, how did a Hilux get to Springtown?

 

I saw this on eBay last week, and thought it was kind of weird.

 

IIRC, the reason most "foreign" vehicles cannot be registered in the states is due to the requirement for 5mph bumpers for "safety" + emissions. It kind of looks like they mounted an approved bumper to this, probably in order to get around that particular requirement.

It is perfectly legal to register *gray* cars in the US, you just have to go through all the safety and legal requirements. My guess is that you also should live in an area that does not do smog testing, as this may not pass. Probably no CA buyers want this either...

This is probably a Hilux Vigo, which I think is made in Thialand, and they make them in left hand driver versions, for exporting.

 

That front grill guard is just so darn cute!

 

Man there are so many ugly hilux here in Belgium, and they are quite ugly but that diesel is pretty badass i thinking about parting a diesel back to the states lol

 

My question is... How was he able to get a Hilux here?
