Question Hilux question

What the difference between the Tacoma and Hilux? The Hilux seems to look a bit diffrent but is that it? Also is there any way to get a Hilux in the US?

I know they are still production but I didnt know where else to post, sorry.

The Hilux is used as a commerical vehicle in many parts of the world while the Tacoma is used more for personal use.

Differences that I know of are.

1. Hilux uses a fully boxed frame Tacoma uses C channel from cab back
2. Payload is significantly higher in Hilux..even more than Tundra
3. Diesel options available
4. Interiors are different

HILUX is a sicker mofo out of the box. Got to drive one during a recent trip to mexico. I like the looks better, less bulge. Other than what pagemaster wrote, I don't other differences. the gears seemed lower than a 07 taco pre runner, then again I've only driven an auto pre runner.
