    I never said anything about any of the other things you mentioned other than to point them out as being unconfirmed when they came up. The fact that you can order the truck without the airdam would suggest it's fairly easy to remove. I never said it would take four bolts. However, GM was the only company to stick the bolts in from the top down out of the big three one there trucks (both my Dodge and Ford had the bolts easily accessible) so I'm fairly certain Toyota won't replicate such a silly mistake.

    However you singled me out as being "lower than average IQ" and now you are accusing me of making claims I never did. So calm your shit, so to speak. I'm just here to talk about the new truck. I'm not pretending I know exactly what we will get for numbers or build in a month. I have made educated estimates which I clearly state as such and relayed hard facts from Toyota when they've come by. That's all. Btw toyota is having an August press release on the Tacoma that was mentioned as an invite only in some recent YouTube videos, so you won't have to put up with anyone guessing about HP and torque for much longer of that makes you feel better.

    You forgot to mention Deezul and air damn delete option. This truck must outdo every full size on the market.

    Or... we could have an option of Hilux just like other 6.3+ Billion of people on our planet.... Those who want pimp mobile they can always buy Sienna than lift it, and put TRD stickers on it, it would be enough for them to go on their pretend dates in shopping malls.


    Here this is 3.5 L too

    Compensate much? How old are you? You do realize there are some killer rigs on here running 2.4L I4's? My 190HP V6 has been good to me.

    I don't see why you are so vagina hurt over .5L...

    For how much you guys give Blue a hard time, he is right on this one. How to fix the Tacoma, ditch it...and simply bring the HiLux here. Most of the world gets 4 engine options, one to fit most every mid-size truck buyers needs.

    I wouldn't mind seeing the Hilux here as long as the truck didn't ride as poorly as long as some others have said when they go overseas. If I needed payload I'd go with a bigger truck that's a more stable platform for towing anyways.

    I think the part of your statement about engines is your frustration. We should just all accept that Toyota has said no Diesel in North America unless the factors that made them come to that decision change. Even if the Hilux came here we'd just get the Dual VVT 4.0 L, and while that would please the Tacomaworld crowd I'm not sure it would be best for Tacoma's market over here.
