That's the current model we have in Jamaica, we don't have the TRD version though. I still like the Tacoma better !

cause you have the 3.0 diesel , and that trd version is gasoline and to come to look at it , it almost looks like the cayyene in the front...

I only wish they bring this to the US.

Nice find btw!

I don't like the exterior as much as our Tacoma's but the intererior finish is tits. I dig the detail on the leather seats and the color scheme with the shifter and steering wheel.

At the current exchange rate that puts it at almost $44k US. Ouch!

HokieBird · 02-13-2009, 05:05 PM

Really digging the looks of that truck, especially the front fascia. The leather seats are just awesome. Wonder if you can order Australian parts and have them shipped to the US? I also wouldn't mind having a set of those bed bars to mount some lights on.

Nice engine, big brakes, interior has some nice features...I will stick to the looks of my TACO!

El Loco VG · 02-16-2009, 12:53 PM

not to crazy about it, the interior is very nice though. Now that Aurion is crazy that I wish that I could bring to the states.

First time on this Forum. Love my 07 Tacoma and toyota 4x4's in general.

The Australian TRD HILUX with the Factory Supercharger really rocks. I agree with the one post that said he'd have both. (Taco and HILUX)

Just wondering what would 2 HILUX 4x4 crew cabs with d4-d diesels be doing on a flatbed tractor trailer in Charleston WV. On 2-16-09 at around noon, I was heading home on Interstate 77 north and saw 2 heavily modified 08/09 crew cab Hilux's on a flatbed trailer that veered South on I77, after I got about a 2 minute look at them. They looked to be new, with what apeared to be ARB bullbars up front, mild lift, bfgoodrich mt, and the wildest looking beedlocked rims Ive ever seen. the rear truck had what appeared to be a single hard rifle case attached its tailgate. A D4-D and HILUX emblem was attached to there fenders.

These trucks aren't available in the US or Canada and as far as I know they can't be imported or registered here (I guess its possible they were Govt./Military?).

Any info on these trucks would be great. I wish I would have thought to grab my cellphone to snap a couple of shots of them.

Sorry for the long post and I hope I'm putting this in the right place.
