Guest from the UK. Love your site and can't wait to import my first Tacoma from the US. We have its twin sister in the UK called the Hilux. You guys will probably piss yourself when you see the small size of the diesel engine but with gas at ober USD 7/gallon diesel makes sense for economy and torque.
Apologies if you've all seen this before but if you want to see how far we can push a Hilux check out this link. They smash it, drop it in the ocean and put it on top of a 250 ft building for demolition, set fire to it and the rest. Does it still go.......
....well see for yourself
