Dakar 2022

Hello! I don’t know how many of you like Dakar, but it looks like Toyota is killing it. The trucks move like they were in their natural habitat.

My son showed me this today. The Gazoo Hilux has a twin turbo 3.5 that’s apparently all stock from a new Land Cruiser. I’m not sure where that new Land Cruiser is available.. not US market.

 

Yes. Most Hilux and Land Cruiser overseas are diesel and/or turbo charged. That’s all I knew growing up. I tried to get the coolest Hilux ,https://www.japaneseclassics.com/vehicle/1995-toyota-hilux-pickup/ but I had to go with the Tacoma because I needed a car with factory warranty for my job. That car was $10k less than the Tacoma. Now they’re selling them for the same price than the new Tacoma. Maybe one day I’ll be able to own one of my childhood dream cars.
