I need some money..

 

Not gonna win any beauty contests that's for sure. 420 ft/lbs is nice, so is the price. The TRD version definitely looks the best

 

anymore inputs about a diesel engines? this is only the available engine here because of the gas prices. i still like the 3rd gen tacoma V6 better.

 

Well... that truck is the global truck aka everywhere other than USA and Canada. The diesel engine will be reliable.

 

yes it is and diesel is a lot cheaper than gasoline. only thing that i don't like is that sometimes it emits black smoke in the muffler even though still brand new.

 

Are you thinking that the black smoke is a problem flaw with the engine or are you worried about the air quality? It's my understanding that all Diesel engines blow black smoke in a transition between engine unloaded and loaded (when the engine has to work harder it forces the soot residual out of the exhaust producing black smoke for a moment) different companies have different ways to deal with this where the exhaust requirements are more stringent.

 

@zypher @JAFO @dametto.br are all late model Hilux diesel owners.

 

JAFO's build. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/hilux-revo-2016-build.443364/

 

It is coming up short in the looks department... too sedan (Man I hate how the Ridgeline looks!) and not enough truck. I do like the high-torque diesel motor...a lot. Definitely TRD...
I’m with you @Oreo Cat , I need some money. And a shipping container.

 

Also go to newhilux.net it's a decent Hilux forum.

 

Highlander headlights. I do like the bed rack and wheels. That’s about it.

 

I’ll just leave this here

Of course they waited till after I bought a 2018 to release the diesel!
