if you found one would you be able to get parts for it? If its a Chevy
truck you can pickup an engine rebuilt kit at the grocery store.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with one, but the likelihood of finding
one, even remotely decent, in North America is pretty slim. There are far
better alternatives.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a hilux, unless the bat fj40 crowd
has discovered them. Lightweight, simple, efficient, easily maintained,
durable. It was the unofficial vehicle for pretty much all the Bedouin in
Saudi in the 70s, except the bootleggers who drove GMC pickups with marine
454 motors.

I know. I have informed both children that when the day comes that they
realize Mom and I were “right” that they need to immediately contact us in
order to allow us to revel in the satisfaction of being validated.
It will happen. It’s just a matter of when.
And yes, I attempted to point out that the HiLux was never sold here in
the same manner in which it is available in the rest of the world.

Tell him "good luck with that". They are few and far between here in the
states. Try BaT.
When children get to be about 26-27 they say "gee dad, you sure got
smarter in the last couple years".
Hang in there dad, it will get better.

Subject: [MBZ] Toyota Hilux?
Youngest son believes he now wants a Toyota Hilux and has asked me to
put the word out. No more details than that, so I’m going with what I’ve
got.
Don’t ask me why, I don’t go there. If you see or know of one, drop me a
PM and I’ll pass it along.
