    That's what I was thinking. Each comes with a bumper full of Bolivian marching powder. I kid, I kid.

    They sell both in the same market?? Where are all the head-to-head video reviews? Someone has to do it.

    Yep, they do. Not sure of the market situation. I was more interested in the tequila situation.

    I took a lot of pictures of pickups in Thailand last month and with a population approaching 70 million people I’ve never seen so many small pickup trucks. And, a large percentage are diesels. It looked like about 4 out of 5 vehicles was a pickup, whether in the country, on farms, in villages, small cities or in the big cities, Thailand is truck land.

    My guess is that Toyota looks like number one, Isuzu number 2, Mitsubishi number 3, followed by Mazda, Chevy, Ford, Nissan, what looked similar to Dodge Rampages and Suzuki.

    I believe Mexico does not require airbags . Some vehicles that are produced for the Mexican market can have them though is my understanding . I could be wrong . I used to live in socal and did make it to Mexico on occasion. If it's a non airbag vehicle that's new you'll never drive it legally in the US. I would look into that.

    That true look up the Nissan Tsuru which makes up most of the Taxi fleet in Mexico, you could buy one of these dirt cheap brand new but it's basically a coffin on wheels.

    Hola, Pudiste importarla? Actualmente tengo el mismo problema con una 2009, esta ya la tengo en Florida con Placas de Nuevo Leon, pero ya no la puedo manejar aqui la Ley de Florida dice que si vives trabajas o estudias aqui por mas de 30 dias te conseran residente de este estado y eso significa que todos tus vehiculos los debes tener registrados y con placas de FL y ya me han dado tickets por las placas, ya quiero hacer la documentacion pero llame al puerto de entrada aqui en FL y me dicen que necesitan que tenga los stickers DOT y EPA, hable a Toyota Mexico para que me dieran una carta, pero como sabes el servicio es pesimo y solo me dan largas y me dicen que les envie correos especificando que necesito y nada que me solucionan, me gustaria saber como te fue en el proceso? Saludos
