    A combination of the two trucks would be more than ideal.

    I actually don't think many of the people on here with v6's would like the Hilux. I'm pretty sure they drive more like the 4 cylinders in terms of performance, which isn't a bad thing, but I am foreseeing many people thinking they are too slow. I might be wrong though :)

    I envisioned a motor with more torque and power. My bubble just burst :(

    The first one I saw was in Ecuador a few years ago. They seem to be a bit narrower but more a no-frills truck than the Taco. I have heard from a friend in the Philippines that they drive quite rough compared to Tacomas. More of a work-truck feel than a comfortable riding Taco!

    They were really popular in Ecuador when i was there (2006). Chevy LUV's were very popular as well. Both trucks were really basic, most didn't even have power windows or locks. Like randyg123 said they were no-frills trucks.

    I owned an '84 (as you would expect from my log-in name). It was a very tough little truck! I took it places I would never dream of taking my '09. Might be because I am afraid of scratching my Taco though.

    Got many free 6 packs of beer from sheepish F250 owners etc. after towing them out of mud or high-center situations. The short, narrow wheelbase of the Hilux is ideal for tight mountain logging roads in British Columbia.

    I finally got rid of the truck in 2001- My mom started referring to it as my Taliban truck and refused to let me park in front of her house when visiting. Then the frame broke while I was jumping speed bumps in the parking lot at my college. (trying to impress girls)

    In a dry climate one of these trucks would probably last indefinitely!

    lol... Heck no. It has a 4cylinder diesel. Although I will say it's a torque monster. With the big turbo on it it sounded just like an old army deuce running.
