The grill makes me think of some of the recent model volkswagens.
I'm sure it's still a hell of a little truck though. |

Your taco has a pussy little C channel frame made by Dana. The hilux has a fully boxed and welded frame made by Toyota, the same frame used in 1.5ton delivery trucks. Diesel engines aren't only for towing. If you do water crossings there are far fewer things to go wrong with a diesel, though with modern ones that are all computer controlled its still a problem. I'd love to see how long some US market soft Tacos would last in the Australian outback compared to the Hiluxes.

Or are you just blindly thinking that a boxed frame is so much better than a c channel? Come break the c channel frame under the 2012 Peterbilt in my driveway, or how about the thousands of jeeps with c channel frames? Are they all just flimsy prices of nothing? Or are you yet another arfcom Toyota fanboy? Sure some years the tacomas frames were crap and rusted out/just broke. But it wasn't because there were "pussy little c channel". You still didn't specify why a deisel engine is so important for off roading. The last "mechanical" deisel sold in the U.S. in pickups would be the 12 valve cummins and 7.3 idi (can't think of any other). You'd still have to waterproof the air intake (including the turbo), the alternator, and the battery. You can mess up fans by running them underwater also, so you'd need to fix that. But even then by the time you are in enough water for that to matter the cab will be a rolling above ground pool. |

Not one sold in the US, but one used everywhere else in the world, same chassis as the hilux but with a dually full floating rear axle. C channel frames are flimsy shit compared to full boxed frames, yes. Ford realized that a few years ago and started making decent frames for their own trucks, about the same time the Taco went to a shitty c channel. I won't waste my time trying to convince you that diesels are better for water crossing, since you've obviously never wheeled. Go to youtube and search landcruiser water crossing and educate yourself. |

What truck is it? Don't just cop out with that. Do you mean it uses a boxed frames of similar wall thickness and construction? Maybe manufactured the in the facility? I know full well the "advantages" deisels have for water crossing. No spark plugs to let in water and ,at least with mechanical deisels, you don't need a alternator or battery to run the engine because of a mechanical fuel pump. So just start it and as long as the intakes our out of the water, fluid does not back up the exhaust, and the fans clutches don't destroy them selves due to having to run under water you could theoretically fully sumerge the engine. Don't have to be a "wheeling" expert to know that. But since the aforementioned hilux does not have a snorkel, is electronically injected, doesn't have the necessary fan setup to run underwater, what difference does it make? It's still not gonna work. Atleast for any extended period of time. Like a gas engine.

The hilux frame and powertrain is also shared with the Hiace van. I have actually been wheeling in a few countries, including a shitload of river crossings, mostly in Iceland. I did them in my petrol powered Toyota truck, in rivers up to the middle of my doors. It's not really a big deal if you know what you are doing. |
