Obviously there are many models of both the Hilux and Tacoma but the greatest size difference between the two in the 4-door double cab configuration is that the Tacoma is 6 cm, or 1.12% longer. I do not think that an length increase of the width of a single standard playing card is a practical difference. It is 2.9% wider, that may be noticeable. The hilux used to be a lot smaller than it is now so maybe people are remembering the hiluxes from 25-30 years ago?
