The Toyota Hilux is the most durable truck ever created. When the US AF air drops new vehicles for Taliban along with the palettes of cash they give them the Toyota Hilux because it is the only truck that can survive the harsh desert and mountainous environments.The Toyota Hilux is more reliable than a tank, more reliable than a troop carrier, more reliable than any vehicle ever produced.It is so reliable, so perfect in fact that it is illegal to sell them in the US. You can purchase them in Australia where it is once again for obvious reasons the number one selling truck because it is the ONLY truck that can survive the harsh conditions of the outback but you cannot buy them in the US. You have to import them which adds thousands, sometimes tens of thousands to the cost of the vehicle. Oh did I mention you can get all of this for as low as 9 grand USD? Can you imagine that? A reliable full bed truck for under 10 grand US? This is what they don't want you to have.
watches top gear once
>>522037633The source of their strength is also the source of their greatest weakness. Box chassis makes it fucken tuff but once a little bit of water gets in, it cannot get out and that box chassis rusts and corrodes into something akin to a Lada Niva.
>>522037633Toyota is in a league of its own in car manufacturing. No other manufacturer is comparable.
>>522037633I deeply regret selling mine. I would say Rest in Peace but it's probably still alive and running somewhere out there
>>522037633lollmfao even the discerning mujahideen know the obvious choice is superduty
>>522037633>it is illegal to sell in the United Stateswhy?
>>522038037And they learned everything from us. We just had our spirit taken from us by Jews, the Japanese did not.
>>522037633theres no reason (other than purposeful communist degradation of life itself) that Toyota is treated as "a jap car" while gmniggers and fordniggers get endless welfare while sending all production out of the country.Most Toyotas are made in Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. So many are made there, that most of the Toyotas sold in Japan are made in America.
does it come in automatic?
>>522037633I ride a bike everywhere. Don’t need a truck. I’m a commando.
>>522038280gmniggers and fordniggers are so gay, retarded, and greedy that they make laws making car companies that actually invest in America have to jump through legal hoops to get their cars on the market so the gmniggers and fordniggers can keep getting their welfare.
>>522038280LBJ
>>522038280chicken tax, also it's not illegal, Toyota just sells a more expensive american market truck here that's also better in every way. The Tacoma and the Tundra are both superior to the hilux in every way. >mythical $15000 1994 Toyota pickupit's an anemic piece of shit.
>>522037914This. If you're gonna buy a box frame yota it needs to be from an arid environment. The steel they use doesn't stand up to salt at all and will get terminal rust in only a few years. Also get the inline 4 22re version, the 3vze V6 a lot of these 90s era yotas was a fucking nightmare of an engine.
>>522038456the tacoma is a piece of shittundra just recalled everything because they didn't clean machining residue and the engine knocks
Great Wall utes are better and more reliable and cheaper. t. tradie
>>522038534ok they had 2 bad years, how many of their trucks from the last 20 years are still on the road with 300-400k miles on them?
I heard the toyota mirai is no1 used hydrogen gas
>>522038568>ching chong motors
>>522038615I watched some ukrainians turn one into a bomb, i was impressed
https://www.theautopian.com/the-one-and-only-production-rotary-pickup-truck-kinda-sucks-but-youll-still-want-it-anyway/
>>522038657no u didnt
>>522038456I really can't argue with this. The 5vze is a more matured and refined platform and the vehicles have all around better features. I will say that a 2nd or 1st gen 4runner is easier to mod than any post '95 tacoma or 4runner though.
>>522038534>The tacoma is a piece of shitI have seen more 300k mile tacomas than any other vehicle except for semi trucks.
>>522038680i can't find footage that doesn't also include some faggot talking about it, so let's just say it's on the internet.
Tacoma is for road.Hilux is for everything else.USA is full of road.Tacoma is also bigger, because USA has bigger roads.
>>522038777those are 15-20 year old trucks, not the shit on the market today. recent model years are very very hesitant. toyota its hell bent on taking manual transmissions out of north america. for fucks sake the 2026 supra isnt available with a manual.
>>522037633>in Australia where it is once again for obvious reasons the number one selling truckAs someone who deals with Australians who've spoken about Rangers to me, I doubted this was true. It's not:Toyota Hilux 2024 - 53,499Ford Ranger 2024 - 62,593No one buys Rangers in North America because they're too close in price to F150s. They're in a weird middle no-man's land. Cheapos buy other brands or Mavericks (lol).
>>522038777also there was an accord on bring a trailer a few weeks ago that had 900k miles
>>522038037Honda beats it
>>522039034rangers are cheap as fuck here, as are the rams and chevy equivalents. hilux and landcruiser are exxy as fuck, on account of them 1. being used primarily by businesses and others who can write them off on tax and 2. them being awesome.
>>522038991sorry beer on the brain, didn't finish. toyota needs to figure out how to make a tranny
>>522038568basado. My family owns one in Mexico. Great truck. Good package for 25K with 7 year warranty. GWM trucks will likely take over all LA, assuming the US doesn't sabotage more Chinese RORO ships.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muZNW7yNmm8
>>522038991Ok but every car fucking sucks now. Ford makes diesels that cost more to haul with than a gasser, chevy makes engines that grenade before 1k miles, and dodge is dodge etc etc. If we're talking about an american titled hilux that's a 30 year old truck so isn't the time period argument moot?
>>522039034Weird, I see Hiluxes all the time but I can't recall ever seeing a Ranger. I guess they don't stand out as much.Anyway I drive a Hilux, it's great.I'm quite bamboozled to learn that you don't have them in the US.
>>522037633I drove Hilux when I was in the ME for 3 years, interior is so basic, engine area you can literally see your feet because only few stuff in there, but it was so reliable that at at 55deg I had freezing AC when the car is just parking for hours, I used to go in some deep sand shit and never got stuck maybe because too powerful yet light enough, and you can load whatever and still will go fast enough for your work.
>>522038409Sadly they're almost all autos now. I had to go out of my way to find my 2022 manual.I blame the americans.
>>522038280Americans make dogshit vehicles that can't compete in a free market.
>>522039213go back fucking sandnigger benchod
That war Libya lost to Chad is called Toyota war for a reason
>>522039201Import duties and market demands made it so creating the tacoma and building it in the USA was a better choice than keeping the Hilux here. Has the tacoma proven to be as good or better in the long run? Depends. The gas versions? Just as good if not better for a long time. They don't come with a diesel option though, which means they will never be as long lived as the best hiluxes/4runners.
>>522038280GM cucks eternally moggedEmploying niggers didn't work out so good either
>>522037633Trump and his jew masters will never let us have quality vehicles. Just buy another Chevy goy, after the gear box takes a shit in 80k miles because it wasn’t actually made for towing, even though it plainly states you can tow 13k pounds with the piece of shit.
>>522038314You know why Germany and Japan are so good at making cars? Because you forbid them to have proper armies after WW2 so the engineering autism went elsewhere
>>522038456> it's not illegalIf you imported it to America you wouldnt be allowed to drive it on the streets. It’s not street legal
>>522037633My neighbour has handed his onto his son, an early 1990's model, there's hardly any paint left on it but it's still fine mechanically.
>>522039213Everything about a toyota truck is insane for offroad performance and longevity. I truly believe they're the best platform for it on Earth.
>>522037633>more reliable than a tanklitteary everything is more reliable than a nato tank in desert
>>522037633Can't they produce it in the US?
>>522039384Chevy auto trannies are fucking trash. Flawed in a way you can't even fix because the metallurgy of the things is fundamentally dogshit. The 4L60E is a crime against humanity.
>>522038507i recognize the 3.slow anywheregood engine btw. ignore the naysayers who say it's bad.
The IMV0 is only $8,500 for a full bed Toyota Hilux body truck.THIS IS WHAT THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE BECAUSE IT WOULD INSTANTLY OBLITERATE THE TRUCK MARKET IN THE US BY OUT COMPETING ALL OTHER TRUCKS INSTANTLY
>>522039566>The 4L60E is a crime against humanitylaughs in 47rh and 700r4
>>522038456Literally a braindead retard mutt I'm so sick of you retards and this shit country.
>>522039201The U.S. (and Canada) is a strange market between emission laws that punished smaller vehicles and consumer demands. A lot of people own trucks as status symbols rather than actual work vehicles. Long term reliability is also less of a selling point in snowy climates because it's not uncommon for the rust to kill your vehicle before mechanical failure. Though, there still lots of garbage failing before then.I don't know how it's like internationally, but there's been consolidation in vehicle types here. Mini-vans and normal passenger cars are kind of dying out. Everything is either some hatch back mini-SUV, a proper SUV or a truck now.
>>522039662>The IMV0 is only $8,500 for a full bed Toyota Hilux body truck.what the fuckis there ANY new vehicle you can get for $8500 in the US? lmao
>>522037633Hillux is likeA Brick houseAffordable health careForeskin Illegal in the USA
The Hilux needs to be used to kill Jews everywhere that they live.
>>522039732The IMV0 comes with manual transmission, manual windows, NO radio, it is purely a work truck meant to get shit done and built to last.
Video of the IMV0 2025 modelhttps://youtu.be/Xc7piJQRywk
>>522039658I have one and it's fucking weird. You need to remove the entire intake manifold, several hardlines, and a significant part of the wiring harness just to change the damn knock sensor for instance. I think there's a lot of manufacturing variability in them too, mine runs great and hasn't had any gasket issues yet but a lot have big time problems with that. The thing sounds like a beast though, very aggressive exhaust note.
>>522039705Yes everything faggy.>no wagons anymore>no coupes anymore>no regular cabs anymore>no manuals anymore>no diesel regular carsThere just isn't shit, it's a fake gay country with the worst shit on earth.
>>522038314Japanese are the Jews of the east.
>>522037633>When the US AF air drops new vehicles for Taliban along with the palettes of cash they give them the Toyota Hilux because it is the only truck that can survive the harsh desert and mountainous environments.It was literally 99% Ford Rangers, you limpdick neverserved. Every Hilux was a clapped out hooptie that leaked oil about as fast as you could pour it in and constantly suffered mechanical issues.The Hilux isn't sold here because of the chicken tax and because old ones wouldn't meet safely regulations. The new Hilux is literally the same as a Tacoma with different body panel designs. Maybe a smaller engine.
>>522039439The only things I changed in 3 years were oil and tires, I abused that car so much and never had a single issue
Buy once cry neverhttps://limestonecoasttoday.com.au/news/2017/12/14/toyota-hilux-reaches-1-million-kilometres-photos-video/
>>522038568Our boss bought one second hand because it was $10,000 cheaper and much newer than most other utes in the same market, piece of shit would get bogged in the sand all the time because of the turbo lag and parts were a nightmare to source.
>>522039893yeah, i always dread having to remove the ten thousand vacuum lines whenever i need to do something underneath the intake manifold. the head gasket issue was really only a problem with the factory gaskets, because they had to switch off the asbestos gaskets they had been using for years and the replacement wasn't as good. i think as long as the HG has been replaced at some point it's fine. for all the hate the engine gets, i've been driving my 4runner for ~15 years now and it's still going strong. genuinely could not have asked for a more reliable car.
>>522037914There are drainage holes dumbass, what kills them is road salt and having them standing on damp ground. Regularly driving them in dry conditions gets air moving through the undercarriage and keeps them in good condition in lieu of regular oil sprays, a trick within the Finnish Hilux community is to spray chainsaw oil but I prefer a mixture of phosphoric acid and diesel since the gĺycerol in chainsaw oil is hydrophilic, I also use a jet nozzle hose to clean the chassis from the inside before treating it.But yeah, road salt is cancer to a Lux.
>>522038456>The Tacoma and the Tundra are both superior to the hilux in every way.The Tacoma doesn't come with a Diesel engine so that's your argument blown right out of the water right there, but since we don't have them here I can't really tell which is better in real world conditions, stronger or easier to service and repair, and because I'm old school and maintain my trucks myself that matters.
>>522037633it truly is the greatest car
>>522037633Actually op the most durable truck in the world is this one.
>>522040438I had problems with rust in mine and I lived 600miles.frpm the sea. Yeah they have drainayhole, but they needed like 2 dozen more drilled into them... That's why they ended up making C channel chassis.
>>522037633
>>522037633The Hilux uses the same platform as the Tacoma but has a much smaller cab and body, more NVH, and lower quality materials. It's not up to snuff for the American market.
>>522037633The FJ40 landcruiser is the best off road vehicle toyota made. the mid 70s models.
>>522041769I see, there's probably a lot of salt in the dust in your area, or maybe there's a difference in our models, mine is an LN110 and has two drainage holes up fromt and one larger one just after the leaf spring hanger, could be a modification done by the previous owner or my dad, the other previous owner but they work satisfactorily.
>>522039796I'll take one
>>522039705>Mini-vans and normal passenger cars are kind of dying outSame here. All normal consumer cars are some sort of bulky hatchback.
>>522042397Those are Land Cruisers...This is a Hilux.
>>522042585Shitmobile.
>>522037633True and a sad statement amongst many on how gay new cars are.>muh touch screens>muh infotainment goy tracker 2000>muh automatic transmission only>muh ecotrash tech>muh shitty reliability>muh unnecessary chips and integrated wiring for every fucking thing>muh overpriced trashI could go on, needless to say I won't be buying a new car, I've become spiritually Cuban and will keep the current one running forever.
>>522042445Doubt, the differences between the N170 Hilux and the first gen Tacoma are not insignificant and I can only imagine they've only diverged since but I do know the N170 is much more spartan than the Tacoma.
>>522042770The 2025 Tacoma and Hilux share a common platform, the Toyota New Global Architecture-F (TNGA-F) platform. They share the same frame, suspension, and powertrain mounting points you worthless fucking nigger.
>>522037633Toyota is coasting on fumes as far as the reputation of Hilux reliability goes. They've had major mechanical issues since the introduction of the 2.8 diesel (which cracked heads if you even glanced sideways at them) all the way up to current year where they've been the most complained about car for 5 or 6 years now including a couple of class action lawsuits filed against Toyota. What really gave Toyota their reputation was the old straight 6 diesel LandCruiser, the old 2.4 diesel Hilux (which were vastly underpowered) and the Camry which were bulletproof cars.t. former Hilux owner
>>522037633>so well made, so perfecthave one and it's mostly meme.
>>522043085The new Toyota trucks in America have a $6 billion+ recall for engines right now. They need to replace the engines in hundreds of thousands of trucks because they tried to imitate Ford's twin turbo V6 line of truck engines but the Toyota ones explode.
>>522037633that's a two wheel drivewhy are you nu-mericans suck faggots,,?
>>522043174yeah. why put a computer on something that works just fine? are you retarded, or just nipponese boy?
>>522042468>350,000 miles on the odo>$24,000 usedI'll take one!
>>522043174Unironically the best vehicles to own right now are Fords.
>>522043374No it would only be worth spending 30 grand on one if it had less than 100k miles. No way a 300k mileage one is worth that much.
>>522038568No they're not you dumb cunt
>>522043085>the old 2.4 diesel HiluxEven those are not that good, have issues with cracking heads if pushed hard and rust eating into engine block through heat exchanger if coolant not replaced regularly.
>>522037633Hilux owner here, I just know if shtf I can mad max my Ute up>>522038280Same reason Reagan limited jap bikes to protect piece of shit boomer Harley’s
>>522040828We have JDM imports right now, they're just 25 years old and $15-20,000, with the turbodiesel. That's cheaper than what people are asking for FJ-40s
>>522043472You’re supposed to change the coolant every two years
>>522039201>but I can't recall ever seeing a RangerYou're either blind or a complete fucking retard.
>>522043595you're also supposed to use the pink coolant. If you use the yellow coolant and it fucks up your engine, you're SOL.
>>522037633The hilux used to be well made. Gor the last 8-10 years it has been a shit heap that is just as breakable as your average chinese garbage.>t. Owned several hiluxes
>This confuses and enrages the European AND AmericanCost me $110,500 drive away and was offered $120,000 the other day with 60,000km on the clock, you will NEVER own a LC79 cunts
>>522038267I remember that kek, I have a 2003 corolla wagon, it's dope
>>522043174Yeah, we've got a couple of models here that are known for spontaneous disassembly while driving. One model engine (the 3 litre iirc) suffered from serious injector blowby that couldn't be fixed resulting in owners having to at least halve oil change schedule and adhere religiously to it or boom. This problem was known about by Toyota for 14 years before they bothered to even attempt to do anything. I'll never buy another Hilux, had nothing but trouble with mine and the ones I used to drive as work vehicles. Drive a Nissan now which had known faults but I fixed them as soon as I bought it and by all accounts once the design faults are fixed the body will fall off before the motor dies. The Nissan was half the price with really low K's too compared to the same model Hilux.
>>522043739Chinese utes are pretty much all made in Thailand, the same place where all Hilux models are made.Even the nu-79 series has a Hilux/Prado cuck engine in it, which will probably be discontinued now due to poor sales now that the V8 is well and truly gone (last ones delivered in July)
>>522042445My 2001 Tacoma died of rust. I got to be its last owner. Doubt I could have done much. The sway bar was completely siezed.
>all of this for as low as 9 grand USD
>>522038267>mfw watched an old coworker pull a fully loaded semi out of the ditch with his F250 superduty
>>522043472All true, but easy as fuck to work on with zero anti pollution gear and mechanically injected, none of this common rail horseshit.
>>522043747I’m jelly…

>>522043606I think I just mentally look away when I see a Ford
>>522043739I wonder if your first one is still going, making all the other purchases a waste
>>522043747Cheap chinese led head lamps in front of a shitty downgraded 4 cylinder turbo diesel minivan engine. You dickless bitch.
>>522044122You'll just see a black ute. The badge doesn't mean much
>>522042975Or so they say, I have yet to see such fleet wide standardisation on trucks of the same generation. You sound like a butthurt know-it-all who's never been under a truck.I thought the frame on 5th generation Hiluxes would be largely the same but there are huge differences depending on type, IFS, RWD, etc, on the frame level and suddenly in 2025 they've standardised on one chassis? Nice if true but I'm not certain it's true, at least I wouldn't count on not having to do cutting and welding.
>>522044154Its a 2025 facelift model with a V8 in it, one of the final V8s delivered, cope and seethe more, go get your Tundra rebuilt while you gorge yourself on iHop-iSlop, you Ameriblubber cunt
>>522044150Why would it be a waste? You get to a point where continuing to replace parts is a black hole for cash. No vehicle I own spends much time on the tar, so once they are fucked they are proper fucked.
>>522043472They're pretty much bullet proof if you Balkan niggers bothered to do any maintenance on them.
>>522044265If you had more money you could have purchased a Ram and had an actual durable and reliable vehicle. You fell for the toyota meme.
>>522043921>mechanically injectedit's all good till you reach even the slightest incline on highway and the battle begins, downshifting into 2nd while trucks and busses flash their highbeams behind.and I don't mind emissions stuff, have that shit on work vans never had a problem tho we're in europe where fastest car on highway is white van so dpf gets hot and toasty every ride.

>>522044458>DPFImagine not immediately bypassing this jewry.
>>522044540Ok but the 90s ones were better still especially Corolla
>>522038037I heard the new Toyotas are going the way of German cars: overcomplicated, overpriced, and always with a few Achilles Heels thrown in.
>>522038037In the 80s and 90s they were, now they're as bad of goyslop as any other plastic piece of shit.
>>522044573It's a cruiser. It'll spit a diff centre on a slight incline.
>>522044602Enjoy your defect notice and $10k fine, DPF i can live with, Ad Blue bullshit i refuse to ever take part in that
>>522044698Thats why we work, to afford to replace these things, my little Centrelink recipient friend
>>522044402Nah they have many issues, 2.4/2.8 idi can't take flatout driving on highways, they always blow up, then there's quality of leaf springs that sag and crack, steering box seals, rear diff pinion bearings that are all design issue and will go bad on every single one.>>522044602Have nothing against it, it works well and cuts down the stink, you'll only have issues if you're babying it too much. I'm no longer kid that hammers out cat core out on his civic and still remember diesel haze 10-15 years during rush hour when most of the cars here where diesels that was nasty as fuck.
>>522044781And tell me how the cop doing an inspection will even know. They aren't a mechanic. Even the actual RTA inspectors have NFI what they are looking at 99.9% of the time.>Bypass shotty DPF>Shut off EGR because feeding something its own shit is not healthy.>Delete adblue faggotry
Buy an ad.
>>522044814I just own actual working 4WDs. My GU on 37s spends half its time recovering cruisers that got stuck and broke where I go in 2wd.
>>522039705other way around here, hatchbacks and sedans are way more popular. and SUV or pickups are considered small dick compensators (and just impractical and expensive in taxes and fuel here)
>>522039272It’s not a free market if you’re applying tariffs to American vehicles.
>>522044573Everything on a RAM truck is stronger and more durable than your Land Cruiser. You could get a 1500 TRX with a large V8 and 37s, or a 2500 with an inline 6 Cummins turbo diesel, solid axles with coil springs front and rear, higher towing and hauling capacity, more room for humans in the cab, and a level of luxury on the inside that's 4 generations beyond what Toyota can offer.
>>522044903>how the cop doing an inspection will even knowWhere I live they stick probe into exhaust/ass and mercilessly give it full beans for like 20-30 sec, I've seen cars blowing up during that test.I'm ok with that, like my toyo rolls a bit of coal but it's just a weekend car. If you use deleted diesel as your daily then fuck you.
>>522044458That was a function of the engine capacity not the injection method. 2.4 litre non turbo in a Hilux sized vehicle is a recipe for disappointment. As far as the anti-pollution shit, blank and bypass that shit immediately, destroys your motor (particularly EGR valves) some would say by design. My Nissan used too blow clouds of soot on gear change to the point the tailgate would be covered in black grime when I first got it, clean as a whistle as soon as I bypassed the EGR. With the EGR, all that soot was being recirculated back through the system. See the same clouds of soot coming out the tailpipe of late model / new hiluxes etc to the point it looks like they've got a fucked injector.
>>522042445and yet its always toyotas surviving and thriving in shitholes with 0 maintanance. and american pickups are never to be found outside murica. makes u think
>>522038991>'26 supra>no manualHoly what. Someone needs a beating. Fucking paddlefaggots.Nevermind that they just shove the paddles on an automatic instead of installing a sequential.
>>522045118>Everything on a RAM truck is strongerLet's just ignore the gearboxes that catastrophically shit the bed after 30000 miles shall we?
>>522045221I saw full size American trucks when I lived in NL, and I'm from Sweden where my dad has always owned full size pickups and Suburbans. They're also present in Norway, Austria, and Switzerland. The only argument to be made is that there's limited parts availability in Europe, but that's changing as the market for these vehicles continues to grow every year.
>>522045176As I keep saying about the EGR system, feeding something its own shit can not be good for it.
>>522039662The market in the US is artificially fucked because of CAFE standards, and other stupidly useless "safety" regulations that force companies to load new vehicles with ridiculous features that aren't conducive to an affordable vehicle. If the IMV0 came here, they'd force it to sell for $25k minimum.
>>522045537Exactly right ozbro. Everyone with half a brain blanks that shit asap, including the local cop where I'm at.
>>522045488there are some.. often company cars of renovaters etc. but then agian its often a dick compensator. usually they just drive a van. but i guess some people find that too boring. american suv's or pickups wont even fit in a parking space here.
>>522045488idk about new ones but older ones like comparing same era squarebody and same era hilux burger trucks where just just cheaper production, llike even the axles it's just tubes pressed into diff body, no cv but u-joints, yeah it had v8 but they're as slow as 2.4 idi toyota. Frame is super thin and cheap my hilux has aboslutely no flex in frame while friends cuvuc which was like super heavy duty would frame flex like crazy to the point you could not open doors when crossaxled.
>>522045640Mate who is a diesel mechanic reckons blocking it off makes it take about 10x longer before you would have to think about pulling the intake off for a clean.
>>522045546>CAFE standardsTrump ended the enforcement of these regulations, so now we're finally going to get a V8 option in Wranglers other than the 392, and the 392 itself had the sticker price reduced by $20,000 for 2026. Ending CAFE enforcement and the electric tax credit also killed many present and future electric faggot vehicles that were primarily being forced onto us as a way to meet CAFE goals. Ford Lightning is dead for instance.
>>522045771itll come back with the next dem president. my bet is auto makers wont change the offerings
>>522045771I think what happens when you tow anything with the lightning is what killed it.
>>522045537>EGR systemonly engines that have issues with egr are the ones that are shit anyways. have many vans at work, iveco 3.0 engine, never ever any problems with egr or dpf, shit just goes and it's powerful too like 180 horses, will break lose on 1st to 2nd shift and speed is electronically limited to 180km/h could probably go even faster.if you have egr issues on something like zd30 yeah it's not the egr.
>>522045751There's vids on YouTube showing sludged up intakes on cars with less than 100000k's, some substantially less.
>>522045304yeah. I ended up getting a poorsche (gr86) instead
>>522045771Oh thank God. Oh thank God. Getting what I wanted award. Pin it right to my chest.Him, and his court picks have been so fucking great. More wins, please. I'm not tired of winning yet.>>522045830If we have any luck what so ever, Trump will be followed by Vance or someone from the GOP as the dems have nothing more charismatic than moldy ceiling tiles as politicians at the moment.
>>522045906Bullshit. You are feeding soot and garbage back into the intake. That doesn't come without issues.
>>522045771>e electric faggot vehiclesyou kids are just feral. I drive tesla 3 for commute and travel and still have double cab diesel hilux for all the other stuff. commuting in hilux would be something... or doing highway...
>>522046012ok meanwhile back in reality, the only thing trump is good at is getting the opposition party out to the polls. look at the massive turnout at the no kangs thing a few weeks back. yeah its all boomers but guess what, they vote and we aren't to their life expectancy yet
>>522046067shut the fuck up you fucking foreigner
>>522045830>my bet is auto makers wont change the offeringsWRONGWhy would they want to buttfuck themselves, they're not you. The electric cars that were canceled in the last few months include the Acura ZDX, all Chevy BrightDrop vans, the Ram 1500 REV, the Nissan Ariya, the all-new fully electric Dodge Charger which was such a flop that they had to shove an inline 6 into it as an emergency measure until they're able to get Hemi production back up, the F150 Lightning which was seen as the future of electric trucks when it debuted, as well as future VW, Honda, Ford, GM, and Chrysler vehicles. RAM had canceled the Hemi V8 only a couple years ago, and they brought it back for 2026, only because CAFE standards were no longer being enforced.
>>522046031>You are feeding sootMore like engine is already shit so it feeds it sooth with oil that makes it wet and sticky. Yeah I've heard a stories, bro just block off EGR and ZD30 will never blow on you... it's always the engine, never egr.
>>522046199because we will have a dem congress in one year and a dem president in three
>>522046255But it is an issue with every engine that has an egr. You need to remove and clean the entire intake system long before anything without one.
>>522037633Surely not
>>522037633you are correctthe us is the only country that has such ridiculous tariffs on vehicles because the niggers simply can't competealso, using the road is a right as anyone who has paid taxes has a right to what those taxes were used fordon't let those evil creeps steal your freedoms
>>522044873Maybe try changing oil once in a while and they wouldn't blow up on you.Springs and seals go bad on every truck after a while, especially after 30+ years.
>>522044982>pootrol>rescuing other forbiesNice larp
>>522043836Many Hilux's are also made in Durban SA
>>522037633I would prefer smooth sides and the cargo hooks inside the bed somewhere. It looks like a good little truck though.
>>522042397>2030: Me and the boys after the Fallout dust settled, heading off to the front of the race war
>>522039201Native Chinese speaker you are. But pretty good for speak English
>>522037633Ford ranger is twice the truck for half the cost.
>>522049235It0s like difference between iphone and android really.
>>522037633thats just because you can get a used one for 1000 bucks and it will drive another 15 years with little to no repairs. they cant make money with this car.
>land of the free>car is banned
>>522046259with all the illegals gone? who will vote for them?
>>522037633It’s an anemic piece of shit that gets way too much attention cause of muh top gear episode. Over here he just have out pickups that smoke the fuck out of it.
>>522037633it's the same reason asbestos was banned as a building material.
>>522044678This. They're making it harder to do routine maintenance yourself. Their new engine has been failing. Lots of stupid recalls for dumb shit
>>522050146>smokeby smoke do you mean they are emitting smoke from every orifice while still under warranty?
>>522037914I am sure there are ways to mitigate or negate these issues or are you telling no car guy or tinkerers thought upon improving these vehicles.
>>522050308Nah just better in most every regard.
>>522037633fuck that, what im more jealous of are those cowboy hats they have where it looks like they fell asleep wearing it
>>522037633Just looked up some used ones here.From 20-45k depending on how many miles they have.
>>522038777It's very common to see chevy express vans and ford transits with over 500,000 miles
A Tacoma is 50x the vehicle an old hilux isAs always we have better things than you in every regard and you just refuse to accept it out of some weird inferiority complex.
>>52205069545k used must be the "luxury" ones. They are really expensive even used, you are better off buying the base Lecap model new if you can/need one
>>522038267>the discerning mujahideen know the obvious choice is superdutyKek, Rambo 3 was on last night, and at the end it now says "This film is dedicated to the glorious people of Afghanistan."It originally said "dedicated to the brave fighters of the Mujahideen."Pretty funny to think about.
If you have a truck, a handful of men, and some guns, you have a highly mobile threat. Some good ol boys in a Yoter is the smallest effective fighting force that even a well-organized military presence has to worry about to some extent.I think this is one of the reasons that ladder frame pickup trucks are railed against by all manner of faggots; you and the boys can't effectively make trouble for a large, seemingly all-encompassing enemy like a government (and maybe even get away with it for a bit) if all you have is a Nissan Micra.America - from every city to the most podunk, bumfuck nowhere village - is effectively filled to the brim with what could be technicals at a minute's notice. Private citizens with money to throw around can and do utilize technicals, machine guns, air support, and night vision... for fucking pest control.And any community of people within a given zip code, no matter how poor, can assemble a small fleet of less equipped, but still functional fast fighting vehicles BECAUSE firearms and trucks are staples of rural and urban life here.Euros will inevitably (and rightly) point out that we have this capability yet do nothing with it, and it will devolve in a Chicom/JIDF/Eglin/Fetal Alcohol Retard food fight, but this post is not an argument. It is not a threat. It is simply a declaration of fact.Lots of trucks + lots of guns + lots of angry men = effective enough fighting force to make problems. If you are an entity which feels that you may make yourself a mortal enemy of this population, it's in your best interest to disable and discourage these components as much as you can.
>>522051131Do you have recommendations for a reliable 7-8 seater that still has a lot of room remaining in storage even when full of people?Got some family but also my mother and I would like the option to store some stuff and take her electric wheelchair with us.In the past I even planned for 2 wheelchairs as we were also taking care of my grandmother, but she passed away.
>>522051434Nice pasta
>>522051509Sounds more like the job for one of those vans that your people like to take on vacation everywhere, a Hilux is a 5 seater at best.
>>522051524Nope, just my drunken autistic effortposthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOt1HLXNRFE
>>522051434I actually think that is good and how your law and right to bear arms was intended.Granting you the ability to fight a tyrannical government.What do you think fascist did in Europe and what they do again?They fear the people, so they take away the people's ability to fight an oppressive government.
>>522051602That is why I asked if you have recommendations for a vehicle, not a hilux version.
>>522051701No sorry, I don't know much about vans
>>522037914Theres new solutions for this now. They make this sprayable wax or tar that you spray from the inside of the frame by poking a little hole in it to spray.
>>522050391except affordability
>>522046138Oh look! A retard!

>>522039098I have to appreciate Japanese autistic excellence. I want to buy a Honda CB 650 but I took a huge tumble earlier this year and now I'm wondering if a bike is a good idea or my stupid ass is going to end up dead on one.The "tumble" in question ended with a craniectomy, and I almost died getting to the operating table.
>>522054569>gets run over by a Muslim
The Tacoma is the Hilux.
>>522038507>the 3vze V6 a lot of these 90s era yotas was a fucking nightmare of an enginethis guy knows
>>522039658I've had 5 of them. Not bad, but when they go wonky they are a fucking nightmare. I'm currently working on a 95 excab 4x4 someone gave me. NIGHTMARE.
Because all these vehicles are imported there's a strong commercial driver to import disposable cars that can't be repaired, and which don't last, by design. Many parts are included simply because they're IP protected, and limiting supply of them will take otherwise working vehicles off the road. That's also why we have 6000 different models of car and no common parts supply. Importers hate the private repair market, and have been allowed to create a Jewish buy-to-rent system based on vehicle warranty and insurance costs.
>>522038507>>522058063cunts, i have 80K KM landcruiser sitting there and it needs a major service. mech is saying this and that needs to be changed, then offers to buy it.my bullshit alarm went off and thinks "if it is such a hassle, you wouldn't offer to buy it. fuck off you dodgy cunt".it is 100series, V6.
>>522038507>>522058063* what shall i do in your opinion?i kind of want to keep it but i dont have the skills (or more like the tools) to do the major service.
>>522039705The fact you guys expect the chassis to die of rust before engine failure it just insane to me. Explain why cars are a fraction of the price, sure you might occasionally launch a boat with your towing car, but if you have any presence of mind, you'll wash your car, boat and trailer when you get home. Salting the roads every year must just fucking eat cars.
>>522037633It's the muttian plywood principle, and goes far beyond planned, terminal obsolence in the spirit of the retarded economy, which boils down to selling longterm problems and renting out shortterm solutions (=marginally smaller, metastizing problems) to maximize debt and interest.The muttian plywood principle avoid the future tedium of retcons and disassembly of anything that could contradict globohomo canon. It's easy to raze a spacious muttian plywood shed "constructed" in [current yester-year] and tell you that never anything better existed than your 1x1 goycage in [current year].
>>522037633The government knows the strength of the Toyota Hilux would enable us to overthrow the government, thus they make it so difficult to obtain, you can have all of the guns in the world, but without the mobility and heavy gun hauling capacity of the Hilux your resistance movement is nothing, American trucks have been reduced to fashion statements for soft-handed men in light of their castrated truck beds and over-bloated chassis.
>>522037693I've watched every episode multiple times.
>>522038280(((emission standards)))It's the same excuse used to ban the $10,000 truck Toyota was offering. $10,000 trucks would fucking kill Ford and Chevy, whose entire business model is scamming people.
>>522064558Times have changed
>>522038280DA JOOOOZ but it really is them
>>522060397Without knowing what needs to be done how would I know? What does major service mean?Most of them make it to 150k miles without problems outside the blown head gasket problems. If it runs fine don't worry. If there is a problem I can't help from the other side of the world.
>>522060397I can't find specs on that quickly (I'm on my way out to run errands.) It looks like it might be a 5vzfe engine. Pretty bullet proof from what I've seen. At 80k km they might be suggesting a timing belt change and possibly a tranny fluid change if it is an automatic. That kind of maintenance is a good idea. Though I think standard timing belt replacement should be the same as the 3vze which is 80k miles... 150k km? Dunno. Go read some and don't trust random people on the internet. Second opinions on mechanics is always a good idea.
>>522037633>The Toyota Hilux is so well made, so perfect, that it is illegal to sell in the United StatesYeah that was the old oneThe new ones will have turbo hybrid and be shit like everything else Toyota makes nowYou have to go to Africa or Nam to get a good one
>>522046138
To be fair you could buy one.But nobody is willing to pay the taxes associated with doing so
>>522044678They've been going that way for a while desu. There's not much difference between a 2010+ toyota and any other shitbox. They even come out with some quite shoddy vehicles in the early 2000's like the Blade.Remember when Mercedes had the ultimate reputation for reliability?
>>522067399The new ones are rattly plastic shit with those awful D4D engines in them. The Ford Ranger is a better vehicle than a Hilux now, that's why it currently outsells the Hilux in NZ/Australia
>>522038347>So many are made there, that most of the Toyotas sold in Japan are made in America.Grok, is this for real?
Australian expat reporting in with an opinionTMAll american cars on the road here that were made after 1990 are gay, most new cars in general are gay but the ones that arent are not in americaAmericans in general have this weird obsession with being able to do things - pretending to be more capable than they are, it means they will do work they are completely unqualified for and kill themselves like indiansBasically there are two main kinds of americans, the country music listening guy who drives a pickup, claims he can do any work (which he can, poorly) and hates those gosh darn city slickers, and then theres the city faggot who drives a tiny car, seethes about politics and wants a communism. there are also hillbillies (who are insane) but those are basically not found outside of deep and untouchable appalachia, and then there's what I call empire americans, who drive a big four door car, like listening to news radio and are generally the high IQ upper class people you come accross, but they are incredibly rare almost like they've been dying outAnyways america is based but also it's weird, thank you for reading my opinionTM
>>522037633I wonder if it's still true for the new ones that are drive by wire and have an automatic gear box.When I get some more land I'm planning on buying an older Hilux as an apocalypse vehicle, though.
>>522039373We don't get the Chevy LUV either, explain that
