Curious about Toyota Hilux diesel
Just curious if anyone has specs on the Toyota Hilux diesel. What sort of mileage are those rigs getting and how much power? I assume there are turbo and non-turbo versions?

hilux diesels are super rare... at least here in the USA.
I've only seen one real life example and that was at a toyota dealership long ago.
was in the import parts business for 15+ years and sold a ton of toyota parts. don't ever remember getting calls for hilux diesel parts. loads of std hilux parts. tuff as nails motors.

Hehee.... Super rare.
The excact opposite what the Rams are here. When ever your driving around here you will see a Hilux and every time it's a diesel.
I thought it's the same than Tacoma in US?
Here's my friends 2003 4x4 5spd Hilux, 101hp, 2.4 litr turbodiesel, gets 23-33 mpg with his 32.5x11.5-15 BFG AT tires. His allways driving with the hubs engaged.
Here's the pic of it:
It's a 2 seater ext cab and there were me+ three my buddys and our atv's on the back.
ps: We have newer and bigger ATV'S around here, but none of them can't really beat my simple and rough BigBear! That BB with a crossbar and winch is mine, 2001 4x4 350 and I love it. Never gonna trade it.

As for the entry on the hilux, check this: The big news for the 1984 redesign was the introduction of the Xtracab two-row extended cab option. Also two diesel engines were offered, the 2L and the turbocharged 2L-T. The diesels were discontinued in the U.S. after the 1985 model year, for unknown reasons. I'll hazard a guess: The Oldsmobile 350 V-8 diesel...!
Anyone else agree?

meh its an ok truck...more of a novelty than anything...drive it around empty and go ofroading a couple times and start alot of convos about it because of the top gear ads...other than that I'd be scared to fill it up with luggage from the airport and get up a hill...heck put a full size american (or canadian haha) family in it and the thing will not move

I thought it was interesting -- the little Ford Courier pickups there looked like the last generation of Rangers over here, blended with the older Mazda B2200 trucks (before they were rebadged/trimmed Rangers) of the late '80's. Very few Ford trucks on hard working farms there -- most were Toyotas or Isuzus. The SAP (South African Police) used bright yellow HiLux diesels with a steel box and interior cage for patrolling in most rural areas. Many of the trucks had added armor plate to the insides of the doors and back of the cabs for extra protection, and they could really haul! I was passed by one, loaded with officers and "subjects" while doing 130kph on the road to Durban one day. No, we weren't going downhill, either.
