Replying to: gagrice (Sep 05, 2007 5:14 am) Toyota used to sell the Hilux in the USA. They even had a diesel version in the 1980s. Somehow the car makers thought that people that want a truck here want it with a lot of plastic crap. I for one am not buying them. I will keep buying older trucks with real steel fenders and bumpers.   You would have a problem in the snowbelt states because no matter how well built your truck or car is it will rot out and keep rotting out due to the chemical that is put on the roads all winter. I do agree that cars today should be built a bit tougher but that's probably why they do so well in collision tests is because the car sacrifices itself to save you. I think once you get out of the 1970's you can't find anything worth buying that is tough and durable. Yes My Hi-Lux does have more plastic than older models. But at least it still has a ladder frame.
#99 of 107 Tacoma (or other small - mid size) by garyods Sep 07, 2007 (11:32 pm)
I'm driving an 05 Taco and I love it. I've got a little over 100k on it and very few problems. I hate to leave Toyota and will hold on to this one until there is a good diesel available. Because of the my size the Ford Ranger just won't do.   I love my Tacoma, but lets get a good diesel to the market and then maybe Toyota will play catch up. Looks like my next truck won't be another Toyota, but if I'm lucky the one after that might be.

Replying to: gagrice (Aug 12, 2007 9:48 pm) its not that toyota or any other car company prefers not to sell diesel cars in the usa it the fact that CA, NY have restrictions on diesel sales... when those states drop there diesel fobias then you will see more diesel cars in the usa... I have a 93 MB 2.5 turbo / 05 VW Passat TDI   cant wait for more options but both are great... Replies to this message: nedzel (Oct 26, 2007 8:23 am)

Replying to: state2insscam (Sep 13, 2007 3:56 pm) I agree. The problem isn't Toyota. The problem is EPA and the CARB.

Replying to: narenji (Jul 27, 2006 10:14 am) I have to say though, That Nissan does make a superior medium duty truck though. I have been operating tow trucks for 10 years and after driving the nissan cab overs for the last 5, I dont ever want to go back to the ford, gmc`s or dodge offerings. Nissan would give the big three a run for their money, if they paid as much attention to their personal trucks, as they do to their commercial offerings. Jm

I owned a Tacoma diesel in Africa and did over 300,000miles. I sold it when I left there in 1994, and wentback in 2003 and it is still running... Gordon Replies to this message: gagrice (Jul 09, 2008 8:13 pm)

Replying to: gsdacre (Jul 09, 2008 4:56 pm) Welcome to the Forum   We would love to have a Tacoma diesel PU in the USA. We do not because of politics. There is no real desire in Congress to cut fossil fuel consumption at this time. If there was we would have embraced small diesel vehicles 10 years or more ago. Did you keep any records of mileage in your diesel PU truck? It has to be a lot better than their gas guzzling model sold here. The gas version may get 18 MPG. One poster with a Tacoma diesel was getting 35+ MPG. Pretty impressive.
