New Toyota Hilux in San Diego!!!

[Billinsd]

Sweet truck!! 4 cylinder, 2.7, manual transmission. This one is two wheel drive. Cheap price the landscaper that owns it says!!!

 

[Billinsd]

Boooo. I want one!!

 

[billoo349]

Was that imported?

Edit - must be with the Tijuana license plate cover. Talk about a ranger and Colorado killer

You're going to have 'sliders falling all over themselves to find one of these. The Mexico-based tag says everything we need to know about their availability stateside.

I saw one last week, Mexican plated too

We got back from Belize a couple weeks ago. They have many HiLux trucks with a 4 cylinder turbo diesel. Also a vehicle built by Mahindra called a Karoo. Finally there is a Chinese knock off version of a HiLux made by Great Wall Motors that is also a really nice looking truck. All with small turbo diesels.

I bet it’ll orbit earth seven times on a tank of fuel. It’d pull a house boat while doing it too. And, it’d do it for 30 years with only routine upkeep too. Like all other Toyotas. What’s the big deal?

Most of the rest of the world gets them. But our bureaucrats don’t think we should.

What’s so great about them?

I saw one in Mobile, AL a few days ago.

What’s so great about them?

They are primarily driven in shitty conditions while getting 30 mpg, have enough payload to carry twenty guys with AKs or 15 and a belt fed. They will go 500,000 miles or 750,000 if you change the oil twice. Throw in the fact that they have over thrown a couple governments since the 1980s. What’s not to like about them?

See these in NZ a lot. One of the favorite trucks for guides over there.

Looks like I’m going to Mexico, boys…

Edit: cracked up when I saw the guys face who is standing behind it

Importing a hilux from Mexico seems like a very smooth and easy process.

Wonder what it would take? I have an Israeli buddy that would give his left nut to own one.

Speaking of the Hilux, just seen this article.

Kansas man upset he can’t buy mini Toyotas ‘like the Taliban and ISIS’

“Every time I see that, I say to myself (or anyone unlucky enough to be in earshot) ‘There, that’s the truck I want’ — minus the machine gun..."

Looks like a high tax to import them, also wonder if it’s a pain to find parts

I sympathize with this guy. Not to turn this political, but we can allow 10k people to illegally cross a border and turn our back, but I can’t get a goddam series 70 land cruiser.

The world had gone absolutely batshit mad…

Yah, the import tax on them is stupid. LBJ really screwed over every American he could.
