Day Dreaming About HILUX

[BurningDinosaurBones]

I was wondering what the UK counterpart of my 2009 Tacoma gets for fuel economy. Check out the difference here. I logged my fuel for about 6 months with an app called gascubby on my iphone and this is the summary of the whole duration:



Here is the EPA for my truck it is the bottom one:

Fuel Economy of 2009 Toyota Tacoma 4WD

Now the UK version of my Tacoma is called a Hilux and is pretty much identical in every way except aesthetics on the front end and of coarse engine choices.

It's really too bad there is no market in North America for these little diesel engines in pickups .

If I could do it at a reasonable cost, I would trade mine for an imported Hilux without a moments hesitation.

There's also 4 door four wheel drive diesel rangers everywhere elso but north America. I think the market in the u.s. is there for little diesel trucks, but it would be a lot bigger if gas was $5 a gallon and diesel was available almost everywhere like it is in Europe.

I thought Canada had access to the diesel Hilux? There goes my dream of stealing one and making a run for the boarder. I've been lusting after a Toyota diesel for 7 years now. I ended up buying the smallest diesel truck I could get... a Dodge RAM 2500 Cummins 4x4. The beast weighs 7,000 lbs.

Couldn't you import one of the used diesel engines from Japan?
