Tacoma vs Hilux. Check this pic...sick!!!

Maybe I'll ask about it just to see if it's real.

 

My sister in law live in Panama & she has an 2008 Hilux 4dr 4wheel drive its a 3.0 4cyl Turbo Diesel & it flys....I would love to have my Tacoma & hers & do a race just to see who would win...

 

is there anyway to get those fender flares on the arctic trucks for a stock tacoma?

 

My 91 toy hilux xtra cab

 

Post more pics please!!

 

I spent a lot of years in Africa and wild parts of Asia in the 90's and saw many great Hilux's and their cool Land Cruiser relatives. In those days, there were no pick ups with 4 real doors and a real back seat available in the USA. I wanted one bad. It seemed like the perfect vehicle. When proper double cab Tacomas became available here, I rejoiced. I thought, finally a Hilux like vehicle here. I still say that and finally I bought one (one week ago tomorrow). Now, if they came out with a turbo-diesel here, I would trade in my truck and dive right in. That is the idea combination of functionality and efficiency. Please Toyota (or someone else), bring one here -----WITH a MANUAL!!!! and we will buy!

 

Now that is sweet!

 

weird Q but the other day i was driving down the road and passed a new body style hilux in ga. have they brought them to the us? I am positive it was a hilix not a swap or anything, how did it get here?

"Stupid asshole Americans and their stupid asshole truck! YAY HILUX BOO TACOMA!!!" <--Something along those lines I assume

 

What a fun job.! Sign me up

 

I have owned several super duty deisel 4x4's they are too heavy! They suck in the sand and mud! They are great for pulling heavy loads though! Now for snow and ice I have no clue as I do not get any snow here in Texas where I am located. I would think a lighter 4x4 would off road better. The heavier deisel truck in my experience want to sink and push through while the lighter gas engine will cruise easier over the top and save fuel. I do think those trucks look freaking awesome!

 

Now that is some 4-wheelin' that I want to do!!! Awesome!!!! Being in the AZ desert in August right now that winter wonderland looks soooo... refreshing!!!!

Bulletproof HiLux

 

Could not agree with you more my driver is a TDI but why doesn't VW import it's diesel truck? I would buy one of them. I really think there isn't enough market for them most Americans do not like diesels because of their bad rap. I love my Tacoma but I sure would like some thing that give me 30% better mileage, pulling a camper @ 10-12 MPG sucks. I do think people are wising up to diesel economy over gas and when they get over the stinky,noisy, slow diesel ideal we'll see a diesel Tacoma.

 

I would trade my taco for that. Minus a few accessories.

 

This is the standard Toyota 4x4 in every country around the globe except for the US. Diesel 4-cylinders with a straight front axle. Why!!!
