I saw a couple Santa Fe trucks in the past week. One must have been the top
trim version and looked pretty nice, the other must have been older or the
base version and looked pretty spartan not much fancier than a kei truck.I've
seen some of the new Ford Broncos, quite fancy, kind of a lifestyle vehicle.
You can spend $100K on the top trim versions. Not a work truck but you could
wrap it and drive it around as advertising.---- Original Message ----From:

They are not the same. They may have been marketed as such, but
have different payload capacities, interior, etc. Only thing that
is really the same is the frame and some of the body. I have
driven both and if you think that a tacoma is a good work truck
after you drive a hilux that would costs significantly less there
would be no question of the one you would want. If it weren't for
the light duty truck import tax we would likely be able to get a
diesel hilux for less than 35k. It would be hard for you to get a
base line tacoma for that. I wouldn't trade my F350 in for one,
but I'd definitely have one rather than trying to get an all wheel
drive maverick hybrid for a daily driver.

I was reading about the new Toyota Hilux Champ
the other day. I really want one, but not likely
we will see them in the US. Its really a shame
that we can't own these trucks just so we could
keep our monopoly on chicken in Europe. You know
if a politician wants my vote they can run on the
platform of allowing the import of Toyota Hilux
trucks.
