Why the hell can every s hole warlord by diesel Toyota Hilux trucks by the hundreds but we can’t buy them in the USA? Some guys dream of owning a Ferarri, a Maseratti, or a Bentley. I want my diesel Hilux.
In all my years on the farm, the only time there was manure in the pickup box was when we used a livestock rack. We quit the rack and went to pulling 5th wheel livestock trailers back in 73. My 90 chev heavy half (1500) 4x4 is an extended cab w/8’ box, and still reliable. It can haul six adults AND 8’ wood or drywall. It’s got bumper and 5th wheel hitches. But needs a lot of room to turn around.
A van roof isn’t high enough to transport some of the things that I haul.
No Hilux diesel in the USA thank the EPA and California who effectively sets the emissions limits for light duty vehicles. I have listed for a diesel Land Rover Defender for years. You can find them all over Africa but forget about the USA unless it’s 25+ years old and only used for off highway uses then you could import one. Right hand drive of course what are we bloody savages.
I think you meant "beststealing" or "bestfree".
Black market sales are up 10000%
Interesting I thought vw was the worldwide largest auto manufacturer. That is what was said during the diesel debacle
Ah yes, I didn’t consider the aftermarket sales, lol.
VW and Toyota are pretty much even for total sales, with VW suffering a somewhat larger decline in the 2020 panicdemic downturn than Toyota, but the article is based on the best-selling individual models, not corporate sales.
