    I'm with ya. I've had a few diesel product from trucks to cars to tractors etc and you can't beat the low fuel usage / torque ratio. I'd love to see all cars / trucks offered with one.

    I've heard low to mid 30s (DC 6 cylinder). Well worth the extra cost of the fuel if you drive much worth what would be a higher sticker.

    You can visit the Toyota U.K. (or several of others) web site and play with a build up.

    I've been lucky to visit locations where diesels are the majority of products driven. I'm sold.

    Okay, a quick review of the UK site indicates from 32 to about 39 mpg depending on configuration.

    http://www.toyota.co.uk/cgi-bin/toy...rue&zone=Zone+NG+Hilux&id=CC2-Hilux-configure

    That's the link to build ya one.

    If they were available her in the states I would be the first one in line. I had one assigned to me in Iraq and Afghanistan as my FOB Runner and I wanted to take them home with me. My only complaint was the power but if you threw in a small turbo, that would solve that problem. Here is a pic of the one I had in Iraq.
