This so much. I desperately want something like a Hilux but they aren't imported or produced because of epa regulations. The smallest thing you can get is a Tacoma/ranger which are all bigger than most SUVs. It's absolutely bonkers
- ip26 4y agoI love the idea of the Hilux, but I have personally found the original Tacoma (similar size) had a tiny death trap of a cab, and the current Tacoma still isn’t big enough to fully extend my legs. I also rode in a competing model in South America, and was surprised how rough the engine (and everything else) was. It was like a large UTV. They are great machines in many ways but I can’t see that many people in the US actually buying one. They would do great in light duty commercial applications like lawn services and so forth, but those seem perfectly satisfied with the old, fully depreciated ranger, hilux, and tacoma floating around.
- projektfu 4y agoThe modern Hilux is pretty big. The 2020+ is the same size as a Ford Maverick (although there is a short wheelbase version that is 13 inches shorter). I love the size of the Fiat Strada and Dacia (Renault) Duster. My friend came to Brazil with me and also fell in love with them, but there's nothing currently on the market in the US like that.
