Would love to see a ~250hp ~400ft-lb Hilux diesel here....would trade my Tacoma in with a quickness.

If only the Tacoma was available in a diesel.
The lack of compact diesel trucks on the American market is annoying as hell.

What Happened to the American dream? It came true. You're looking at it.

Why are they unavailable here?
Is it due to emission standards? Or is Toyota just choosing not to sell it in the American Market?
Senior Member
Has to do with emissions standards. It can be done but redesigning everything for the US market just to meet our retarded diesel standards isn't a good business decision.
Just on the big trucks Ive read numerous articles in the past that stated it costs the big 3 somewhere around 4-8k per truck to comply with the standards in R&D, parts production, warranty work, ect. Even Ford has said the 6.0 PowerStroke has so many issues because they couldn't get the emissions controls to work right, and that is what was causing the issues. No one wants to take those kinds of risks on a 15-25k dollar truck when the rest of the world doesn't have to put up with that dumb shit.

That stinks.
I guess that's why the Heavier Duty pick up trucks with diesel engines cost so much more.
