Why the Tacoma is best truck on the planet

happened to my diesel.. I was dumb and got the wrong stuff. the auto parts store sold me the wrong stuff. its actually only like a 6k fix

 

and I get like 30/mpg so I would say that pretty efficient to me

 

Yea it depends on the vehicle and where you get it fixed but it can range anywhere from $4000 to over $14000 if the high pressure pump grenades because typically the entire fuel system has to be replaced due to metal contamination.

 

To be fair this also applies in reverse, pretty sure a tank of diesel can blow the engine of a gasoline vehicle.

 

yeah I got it fixed at the dealership. I got lucky because the Pump was on a recall so I got the part for free

 

Yea they seem to do ok MPG wise in smaller vehicles but to me the cost to fix and maintain doesn't offset the better fuel mileage, not to mention the higher initial cost and diesel being on average $1.00/gallon more than gas.

 

I only drive like 2500 miles a year so I actually doesn't bother me. I spend my time in my jeep than my ZR2.. got to love top down in CALI weather

 

Not really, just needs to be pumped out before you can add gasoline and get running again.

Also diesel nozzles won't fit in a gasoline fill neck

 

You may kill the converters but your not gona kill the engine, gas engines typically won't even run on diesel or will run very poorly but modern diesels will run on a pretty high mixture of gasoline until the fuel system gives up from lack of lubrication.

 

at one point I was paying over $7 per gallon for diesel.. I think its down to ~6 per gallon now

 

I don't need a 1ton diesel crew cab with an 8' bed, but it sure looks nice.

 

HiLux and Tacoma are great pick up trucks, Land Cruisers best SUV ever made. To me.

 

the LX is better!!! lmfao

 

Hilux is a better truck than Tacoma.

 

The manual transmission is a huge factor for me, especially with the 4 cylinder. Reliability too - and the size is just right.

 

No frills upkeep, easy to work on cause there's no high tech stuff, reliable, great stock ground clearance, 6ft box, I could go on for a while.
Overall a very solid daily driver.

 

Why? WHY??!!! ....Because you can sink them in the ocean for a whole tide change... Smash them head-on into a tree... Hit them with a wrecking ball... Crash them into things on a race track and drop a camping trailer on them. Set them on fire. Put them on the roof of a condemned high rise, demolish/implode it with dynamite, dig it out of the rubble upside-down. A few other things (I think they filled the tank with old school powdered Kool-Aid and it still ran) ......And:

They STILL Start AND drive away!!! >>WiTH<< a cracked frame! With NO parts swapping.

might squeak past

 

Nope. I've neither seen a terrorist nor a 3rd world country in my life so far.

 

clearly you've never been to Detroit.
