    I remember a time when I would say, Toyota not shipping the Hilux to my country was the worst part of living in the US. Now, it’s not even in my top 500 things wrong with the US.

        Last I checked they were slowly merging into the same thing but the frames, towing capacity, and engine options favored the Hilux. I grew up with the 80/90’s Toyota Pickup (aluminum can) so I also appreciate a smaller format truck. I’m kinda short so it’s nice to have a truck I don’t have to climb a ladder to get in and out of while looking like I’m compensating for something. These new trucks, even the Taco, are getting a bit ridiculous.

    Hilux used to be and look like work vehicles, now they look like expensive pieces of shit.

    Look at how tall that bonnet is! Fuck visibility I guess.
