Is this a Taco ?

Frontier.

 

I base my opinion off JD Power and TFL Truck, to avoid bias.

 

It's a 7th Generation Toyota Hilux (2004-2015).

 

It's hard to hear the howling diff when it's underwater. So it's hard to say if it's a 3rd gen or not

 

Looks like a Hilux.

If the Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, and Suzuki Equator were to combine themselves into one vehicle, that will be it.

 

Now that's funny!

 

Hilux. Did the same thing in Costa Rica, just not near as deep. They are the diesel version of the Tacoma but often get mistaken as Frontiers due to the body design. It was awesome driving one through the muddy jungle. Torque for dayz

 

Suzuki Equator.
