Serious question for any viewers... What would you pay for this truck in your country ? I'm in Denver Colorado, and even with only 2wd I would gladly pay $20,000 USD for this legally titled in my city. If you want to help me out, check out my website, Ecojarz.com everything on the site is designed by me and is guaranteed for LIFE.
If they could get this, on this spec, with bed, between 20-25K, they would have a screaming win on their hands, let alone the fleet sales it could pull.
2wd or 4x4, I wouldn't care as long as I get that diesel 5 speed with hand crank windows! Sincerely, California.
I think it's fairly priced , but in my mind a new Tacoma fully specced out shouldn't be more than 45k markets too inflated and people just buy into it.
@@Skizzo321 There selling the basic model goes for ten grand there already selling them in Taiwan. There going over big there.. I'd buy one in a heart beat...
For that base model here in Canada I would pay upwards of 18k for RWD and 22k for 4x4. (Canadian dollars) With the right specs/addons upwards of 30k. (Canadian dollars)
The waiting list would break any record if this truck is offered in the US for $10k.
Even 20k.
They couldn't make them quick enough to keep up with demand.
Was going to say $15K
For 20 I’ll want that second visor 😆
I would pay 20k for a mid level trim diesel any day. Perfect truck for me and my small bussines.
I'd actually buy a new truck if I could get that here! Otherwise, I'll keep my 12 valve. :3
Literally everyone would have them too. They would put big truck manufactures out of buisness lol
US lobbyist would make sure this thing never sees the USA until it's 25yrs old.
Sad thing is this is probably true.
People who are not using it for business wouldn’t buy it anyway
@@justindawson5930Pickups are the hot thing now.
The chicken tax puts a 25% tariff on imported pickup trucks. This is why Toyota opened a factory in the states and Hondas pickup looks weird.
It's high time to get rid of the 25 year rule as well as the chicken tax!!!!!!
All trucks should have 3 side fold down beds, proof that modern full size trucks are glorified luxury suvs.
Yup. I definitely want to use flags, flashers, and hire an escort for my oversized load that now takes up more than a lane. I'm also 100% sure all the other drivers would appreciate that I am in a real truck. It would even probably distract them from the ensuing traffic jam.
So you have NEVER loaded a truck.
Folding sides are super fun when loading stuff in to the bed..
Lots of utily vehicles have folding sides and never have i seen someone haul stuff that is wider than the bed.. ofc i live in europe and we do not hAVE A BRAINDEAD POPULATION HERE LIKE YOU HAVE IN MURICA.@@reallyfake2760
Modern 100k trucks are useless...
@@premiercconstructioneh maybe not useless, but they are definitely excessive in most regard.
Only took the F150 twenty years to go from practical work vehicle to "show hog". You gotta know Henry is tossing in the grave.
Screw it... the 25% tax would be worth it. Just import the dang things Toyota!
I've been saying same thing, bring it anyway!!
So if it's 10 grand it'll be 12,500 right with the 25% tax?
after all the fees, taxes and dealer markup it would probably end up being 40k....
@@MrWiseinheartadd shipping costs and all and you'll get it around 15-20 grand but still pretty good for me
@@teolynx3805Oh ok, 🤔 maybe that's the plan from Toyota where they made it cheap enough so people in the US would be willing to go that route.
Will never be appreciated in US , Americans pay 100k's for an f-350 diesel super duty , to go to⁸ Home Depot the weekend and put a 20 pounds bag of mulch on it.
Seriously? I put 2 bags (wanna say 20kg, but it might be 20L) of it in a gen 2 Prius today. Heck i've put 250kg of laminate flooring in the car and it still did 5L/100km. Granted it had only 1 seat left in the back, but hey it still balls out comfy.
And lose 20 pounds in their restrooms.
Yeah but most Americans is brainwashed. They literally think you cannot use regular car to carry heavy stuff or even tow anything with it. My murican friend was mind blown when he visited Europe and saw regular sedans or even done sporty cars towing trailer, he said all his life they were thought you need pickup or truck to tow anything. For country with such long and great car culture modern muricas know nothing about cars.
🤣🤣🤣
@@eivis13, yep, this system is completely broken. The level of waste of natural resources is simply astounding, this type of economy must be changed.
Literally better at being a truck than any midsize truck available in America. If I could have purchased this, I would have.
You're assuming midsize trucks in the USA are trying to be trucks and not emotional support life trophy SUVs for insecure men
That's not a Hilux dude get your facts straight, just because you guys think that Toyota only makes 1 truck style and think that it's called the Hilux doesn't make it true
@@gwpeoples Small trucks aren't available in the US due to the EPA, as counterintuitive as that may sound.
Maybe it's media maybe it's Toyota... But I have been all over Asia, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar... The dealership that I filmed at called it a hilux Champ UTV... So whatever you want to call it... Even google calls it a hilux...
Weak payload and wouldn't tow my trailer.
This is what a modern American truck should look like
This would sell like hotcake in the US, basic trucks are pushing $40K.
Which is still 30% cheaper than here in Europe
Try coming to Portugal. You could add half as much again MINIMUM for a Toyota pickup.
@@ianworley8169 the most basic white hilux is listed at 36.330€ on the website, cant have shit in europe.
It would need little more power though. Has to be able to run 70 to 75 mph here. Top speed is listed at 55mph in Japan.
@@TyeWillsthat's bullcrap
I was able to hit 190km/h (120mph) on a 136hp diesel mitsubishi w/ 5 speed manual.
Even the 660cc 66hp kei trucks can reach 60mph...
150hp is plenty for a pickup like this, it's competitors the isuzu traga makes 80hp and the mitsubishi L300 makes 99hp.
It would kill the used car market worldwide.
No... it would kill the NEW car market in the US! XD
it would kill both@@jamesgizasson
No, how we can do that is by just selling model ts again except not as shit amd with japanese straight 4 kawasaki ninja h2 engines in them. Or i mean you know one without a turbo i guess. But kawasaki h2 engine model t future copy. Is that not dystopian and stesmpunk enough for the nerds? What if we can get down to like 15k roll up in your turbo busa model t. AWOOOOGAAH AWWOOOOGAHH! You hear as the horn is blasting and the turbo blowoff valve whistles. Disc brakes. 1 down 5 up pushing 150mph
@@TheAnnoyingBoss Holy hellhounds... This would make a fantastic copypasta! :3
I want one! If you can drive a motorcycle on the road, you should be allowed to drive one of these!
I'll take 2 if they get them in the US
It will be minimum 15k each... not 10k that's delusional. Also I doubt 🇺🇸 will let it happen.
Add taxes dealer fees this truck minimum out the door will cost 20k, for an unfinished truck
We need these here. Tgis is what a lot of people want for the utilitarian errands
@@beefnacos6258 a lot of people always complain that they want American made stuff and that's partly why trucks and other cars are expensive. That's a Thai truck made really cheap in Thailand that's going to be sold in nearby countries that have free trade deals so getting them there will be really cheap. Tundras and Tacomas are mostly made in the US so they have to pay the workers American salaries immediately making the truck more expensive to produce. America has a rich used market that you are much better buying a used truck than paying what would cost to get a truck like this all the way to the US.
@@xuxon24 ". Tundras and Tacomas are mostly made in the US..."
I know where you are going but it is not how the free market works, and that is the reason because the US has expensive and faulty vehicles. The more protectionism => the worse the market => the worse the product
@@xuxon24Tacomas are predominantly built in Mexico. Wages are staggeringly lower there.
Looks simple, reliable and affordable. Of course we can’t get anything like this for the USA. This truck is not pretending to be a full size truck.
Looks like a POS
Ask kawasaki to sell the ninja h2 engine in a crate
and if you dont need a full size,,,,,,,what are the options?NONE
I so wish we could buy this in the USA. A real truck instead of a luxury vehicle for pampered wives.
I wouldnt be caught dead in this POS…
You can buy used trucks for that much, even less. Just shop around a bit.
I see someone here has a pamper wife 🤣
@@fistfullofsalt6311 Not me.
These are still a bargain even WITH the chicken tax. $12,500 for a new diesel pickup.
Agreed! I think I'd even pay the fee just to give the finger to lobbyists! It's my money, and I want shit that lasts! :3
@avro9707 Considering that you can't get a decent 12 valve in the states for less than $10k, I'd say it's worth every penny!
Prices have gotten so ridiculous that we are actually at the point where pissing away money on tax sounds better than buying overpriced plastic crapmobiles from the big 3.
@@Andrew-jm4tp That's how I feel. If they won't build anything good, I won't buy anything they make.
Its not a real diesel airhead.. a real diesel is 6 liters plus
Bring this to North America, I could buy one in a heartbeat!
Probably you could buy it in Mexico by next year.
The Suzuki jimmy was offered in Mexico I heard the inter allocation was sold out in 15 minutes online... I don't know if this is true... But I would believe it
Import it or become an importer
I have zero use for pickups but that Toyota should be massive hit everywhere, perfect work vehicle, cheap, sturdy, safe, reliable. Hope they succeed.
A nice feature of this truck is the small diesel engine, you can run it on waste vegetable oil for a fraction of the cost of petroleum diesel fuel
The real work horse..
When I moved to Florida in 1984, I baught a 1979 Toyota Hilux. I loved that truck. It had 87,000 miles on it when I got it. And regretfully, sold it with 388,000. Had a 20R 3 speed engine in it that would not die. They stopped selling them in the states because they didn't want to put all the EPA required stuff on them. Toyota reps told me that they would not have been able to sell them at that price point. Now the Hilux is the most sold foreign truck sold in the world.
The US needs to end the 25 years before it's safe to import law also. Backwards law lobbied by car companies like Mercedes to save their profits from cheap imports.
If they end the chickhen-tax, the ''big'' three will go down haha, so they can't.
If Toyota sold these in the U.S. with 4 wheel drive, 5 or 6 spd trans, and same 2tr or turbo diesel engines they would sell like hotcakes for $20k. We never get the good stuff
They're not making them in 4wd. 5 speed trans with. 2.0 litre petrol or 2.4 diesel. After shipping them to the states and adding tax they would be closer to 30k
Though it probably won’t happen it would be great if Toyota sold these Toyotas in Australia. Toyota Australia sells Landcruisers that are very basic, based on a 40 year old design, but they are very expensive. I guess if Toyota sold these little Utes they would canabalise their existing sales and profit would go down.
These are targeted for emerging economies. Australians are too rich.
@@Pepe-dq2ib not every Australian is rich. Some Australians go without because they can’t or will not put up $40k for a basic ute.
Yeh and the new 70s have the hilux motor. You moght as well get the hilux for the money
pepe knows how it is
I'll never own a new car until they bring this to Aus or I can import one.
Anything more technical than a proton jumbuck is a waste of time.
On my buy list cant wait till they arrive in Philippines , perfect for the farm ,
I'd be interested for certain. Even if it were to come to US, they over here, they would be marked up to $40,000 to 50,000 due to popularity and mandatory environmental and safety features added. Being the diesel is 150hp, the gestapo EPA would require a DEF system be installed, jacking the price up even more.
The 2.4 naturally aspirated gas 4 would be more than enough to move it, but the diesel could get certified without DEF given how small it is, or as a PHEV setup where it's a generator like Edison trucks.
@@LouisSubearth Okay, I was going off of agricultural and construction machines. They require def over 65 hp. It's a pain for the bigger skidsteers with the back end sticking out.
The regular dual cab toyota hilux has a euro 6 version with the exact same engine (2GD-FTV) and it costs nowhere near that much.
@@LouisSubearththere is already a euro 6 version of this engine for european counteies with DPF installed.
This would kill the Ute market in Australia, made by our nearest neighbour and still not sold here 😢
Made in Thailand not Papua Niugini (nearest neighbour) or Indonesia.
true
@@gregorythompson5826
Even with an extra $6,000 of tax, I would buy that truck, that would be the best $16,000 you ever spent. Especially considering that the most basic new trucks are $35,000-50,000 now, I would probably pay close $20k for one of those if it was necessary, thats about what a UTV or Mahindra Roxor costs if not less. It would certainly be a truck that would work hard and last at least 20+ years with only basic maintenance. The only American commercial vehicles I would buy would be a GM Express/Savanna/Silverado/Sierra base model 2500/3500 6.6L gas/6L90E or Ford Super Duty XL package 6.8/7.3L gas, those could be counted on to run for 400,000 miles+, the fuel and maintenance costs would likely be many orders of magnitude greater than this Toyota and they wouldn't likely be necessary for the extra cargo capacity, only if you need to tow 6,000-12,000lbs and the Amreican V8s are going to be much quicker and understressed under constant heavy workloads. For a little kick around truck that Toyota would probably be great, it's like a Side-By-Side UTV that has compact pickup bones, it's like a modern, reliable incarnation of the old Jeep Forward Control.
In north america a pickup truck is just an expensive suv these days, we need trucks like this
We need this in Canada
I'm already mad about it, before I even clicked. We're absolutely being gouged badly in the US. Very nice truck though, would love to have one. It would be perfect for me.
It's crazy.... people think going 7 Years in debt for a 70k work truck is normal here....
ALL the truck almost anyone actually needs. No frills. Just business!
Toyota build have always built great pickups , they promised 4x4 soon .
So many countries now want these ,In NZ we do !
Yep, definitely want this here in NZ, would be like $20k or so...
USA EPA fuel economy requirements make it difficult for a vehicle like this to comply.
not at all. It would not do anything of a difference to begin with. The american ones on the other hand.....
I love it, way more practical than American trucks.
If they make it to the US which I hope they do, us Americans will deal with insane dealer markups that will make it not even close to 10k
I have the 2016 3.0 d4d, 600000 km, not a single glitch.
For the price of a Cybertruck, you could buy 5 of these babies.
I REALLY hope we get them in Australia.! They're already RHD 👍
They'd sell like CRAZY here as Farm & Work trucks !!!
Almost guarantee we won't get it in Australia. Won't meet ancap and they love selling us overpriced hiluxs and landcruisers
doesnt meet your stupid DNR crap.
I was super excited about getting the dual cab version until I read that they’re not coming to Australia. Guess we’ll have to keep paying through the nose for cars.
@@glumrvigmadr The dual cab version is far too small. There's no way Aussie tradies would fit in the back seat !
I definitely need one of those. Unfortunately they will never be available in the USA
Bed sides folding down have been the norm here in Europe too for the last 7 decades or so😅 The Ford Transitfor example is offered in Europe as a flat bed truck with folding sides and tail gate, just like most other euro vans are..
Transit in USA must legally have a minimum of 2 rows of seats, to not be taxed 25%. So we will not get any of those great options
@@Kirby_kinetic This is incredible.
that is because the only people buying trucks here are the one who are actually going to use them for their intended purpose.
The design for hilux in Thailand looks better than what we got in our country.
This is the new Hilux champ it utility truck but the regular Hilux still being sold here
oh .so that was another variant. but it look pretty cool tho@@watanakarnwatanakitpiboon
A real truck! Unlike the toys in America
Its lack of unnecessary nonsense reminds me of the Citroën 2CV. We need more vehicles like that.
Isuzu Dmax and the Toyota Hilux are the 2 workhorses of Thailand. Ive seen them used by everyone builders, farmers to the humble street vendors. Reliable stock. Cheap to run and easy to fix. They often mod the suspension to allow carrying tons in the bed.
I've seen those tiny trucks with crazy axles and springs under them.... they get alot of work done
Wake Up Toyota, America is asking for your Help
from the $100,000 truck.
And she's a Diesel?
Yes Please!
Looks sweet. Hope both Europe and NA can get them too
EU won’t get them
he show the basic version, the 4wd look amazing
Chicken tax scapegoat is BS. Toyota can build this in their own plant in United States if they wanted to. The problem is meeting stricter emission and safety regulations in USA and Europe. In Thailand and Southeast Asia are somewhat the regulation are more relaxed, but slowly adopting to European emission standards.
Buy one today here in Australia. Prefer an auto but such a great concept in a vehicle. Fark why aren't Nissan Mitsubishi Isuzu Hyundai Kia looking at this vehicle. It is the future not the land whales that are called SUV's
Hyundai already has a pickup called Porter for Asian market. They don't sell them in Aussie market cuz of Aussie laws.
These would sell like hot cakes in the states. The after market business that would rise up around these trucks would be staggering!
Really awesome! Thanks for doing this video sir!
Makes me envious, as someone that'd like a simple utilitarian truck .
I drive one of the ford rangers, a year model 99... I'd like to be able to buy a truck today.. around the same size..
I want one! Isn't it interesting, how the price of cars and trucks never went down after the US Midwest automobile factories were moved out of the US. I've seen new pickup trucks for over $70,000.
Perfect little round town work Ute
Dunno what the import restrictions in the US are, but in Canada it's 14 years. So in 2038 I'll be able to buy one of these that somebody's imported... if they do. Such a stupid law.
25 years in Los estados unidos
Which law is stupid?
Regulations are for the benefit of big industry, even when they're not, they find a way to work around them or make them work in their favor. Bring competition back.
I wonder if they will allow importing this to the US, I want one.
Wow this would be amazing in the US, so useful to have the bed sides fold down
Something basic here in Europe. All van based pick-ups have folding sides.
woow so practical looking does anyone else feel we are being taken for a ride ! low price and great fuel economy for a pick up
Sadly i think the lack of assistant and connectetd features means it will never be sold in EU/USA its a nice car.
Australia imports Honda City, Jazz, Civic sedan, CR-V and Accord from Thailand. Most utes, 'pick ups' in US, are from Thailand. So are Mazda 2 and Suzuki. The old Holden factory in Thailand is now BYD. Which are sold in Australia. We no longer make cars in Australia. We import them, but they are no cheaper. The difference is the corporate manufacturers make bigger profits.
nice simple little work
I would like to buy one. Can sell my 10 year old Tacoma for enough to pay for it. Looks very handy for farm use. Wish they would make a 3/4 ton and 1 ton for pulling trailers. Could get rid of my Ford fix or repair daily.
Why not replace your Ford with another classic Toyota then?
@@gteixeira I use the Ford F-450 for heavy loads, and pulling big trailers. They don't sell Toyota heavy duty trucks in America.
If this was available in EU at this price we would buy it immediately!
Yes this car would clobber the Maverick, which is 30k. Thailand has an artificial currency, but even with some adjustment, it would be a smash hit at 15k. Sadly due to obnoxious govt stds this truck would not be legal in the USA.
THis is what we need everywhere !!!!
That is a pretty sweet little truck. That would be perfect for most of my needs, but at times I need to be able to carry 2 other people, so a 4 passenger 4 door version would be nice....but then at that low price, I could just have this as a 2nd vehicle just for hauling stuff.
Just set it up like an old Subaru Brat and put some rear facing seats in the bed. Lol
Would love one, but it will never be available in the USA. It wouldn't pass all the crash safety standards.
Yes... But we are allowed to play $30000 for a Harley and pollute more and die in a 30mph crash on the way home 🤔😂🤣
They charge 17k near me for a Mitsubishi Mirage, and that thing is basically an egg with wheels. I can imagine this thing would run 20k plus if sold in US especially with dealer markups
This would kill in the us, it would sell out in minutes 😮
These would sell like crazy anywhere in the world
We just need to ban the epa and punishing people for being obeying complying order following gestapo "just doing my job following orders"
Beautiful!!!!!!
I've NEVER been a truck guy, But this is a BEAUTY!! i would grab one immediately if it were on sale here in the U.S
Cool. Bought a new Hilux a year ago in Thailand as my wife has been hounding me for a new truck. Guess it’s really hers, I was just the money donor. Funny it works out if you don’t live there all the time. I want a Fortuner but the same thing applies. Maybe if these would be more cost effective.
the chicken tax isnt the problem right? im sure people would just pay it, its getting it registered in the states to drive on roads no?
I’d buy it even with the chicken tax
A Toyota package director (sets options to put into each trim level) told me stock vehicles 5-10% margin but loaded ones are 30+%. This truck would erode the US pricing model. US manufacturers believe no one wants diesels in small vehicles. Manual transmissions are also out as is 2wd. This truck would smash so many stereotypes.
Does this look anything like/share any traits with the old Hilux? I never grew up with it but I feel like it doesn't. Seems like it shouldn't be called the Hilux but something else
Id love to have one of these. But I live in the U.S. so Im only allowed to buy a truck thats like $80,000.
Yeah it's bullsh1t not everyone wants or can afford a cybertruck. I don't understand why they can't just make something similar at the Toyota factories here.
OBEY!
I'd buy one. I think its more emissions and crash regulations keeping it out. They could easily do a bed seat ala Brat/TransitConnect to get it here around the tax.
Nope all trucks made outside America have a 25% tariff if the truck is made in a factory in America then that tax does not apply
Ridiculous how here in the states our country makes regulations that keep vehicles we actually want and could benefit from buying so hard/impossible to get. "Safety" regulations? It's a selling point for vehicles in the states to have a touch screen TV/tablet mounted on the dash partially blocking a drivers view, 25 USB ports to look for/use while driving, and as many other gadgets and gizmos in a vehicle. Yet non of that is considered a distraction while driving or a safety hazard. Just waiting for drivers to be ticketed for driving under the influence of gadget induced distraction caused accidents. Cigarettes and alcohol are still legal. Grocery stores stock thousands of FDA APPROVED items that shorten lives and lead to diseases. It's not about vehicle safety. It's the big 3 auto makers that don't want to compete with vehicles like this Toyota Champ. And on top of that, "American" auto manufacturers create jobs and build their vehicles in other countries like Mexico and China.
They probably wouldn't be able to pull it off.
As per Wikipedia:
In 2013, US Customs told Ford that they must stop this practice of importing vans disguised as passenger cars. As of July 2018, Ford continued to employ the loophole but remained continuously in court over the practice. On 7 June 2019, the United States won its appeal in the Federal Appellate Court. The court determined that the Ford Transit Connect was a vehicle for the transportation of cargo.
Edit: The other vehicles that use the IMV platform (Hilux, Fortuner and Innova) have 5 star ratings from ASEAN NCAP. As for emissions, they could use the 4 cylinder from the previous Tacoma.
It’s not a tax issue. Toyota does not want to sell this in the US because then people would buy a $15k truck instead of a $40k Tacoma. It’s shareholder responsibility not the evil US deep state
@@alfpedersen2201 Its done with the Transit Connect by installing windows and seats in all models then shredding the seats and installing covers in place of the windows for ones sold for cargo.
I'm in a stripped down JLU wrangler no seats/carpet etc. Farm trucks/welding trucks/ trucks with fabricated 'overlanding' beds are all cool to me. But I picked the jeep because its extremely nimble and has the old fashion solid axle. I'm really digging the pickup aspect of this while maintaining a practical size, knowing I haul around decent sized, potentially really dirty things (dogs for one) but I'm no rancher or construction worker. The bed alone makes me really wish this was in the states it would be the perfect dynamic next to my wrangler, having a cargo bed and also a pickup bed without having to buy a full size, or the midsize trucks with all their frills and aerodynamics, angry lights etc for $50k.
now this is truthly a working mans truck,hope more companies pick up the initiative to make those again
Interesting, practical design.
They said they would cost 10,000 dollars so that’s what they should all cost no matter what country they may sell them to.
That was the anticipated price in Thailand, where it pays no international shipping and import duties. Guy said it's just over $11K, so it's not that far off the mark. With a gasoline engine, it would be closer to 10
@@chrisflores4788if you look in Thailand the starting price converting Bahkt to dollars is around 13k. In countries that are part of ASEAN they will be really accessible once they leave that region they will be much more expensive.
If those come to the US, and aren't ridiculously priced, I will buy one. For a truck I don't need 250hp and 400 ft.lbs of torque, navigation, moon roof, 9 speed auto, and massage seats. I actually WANT manual transmission. When I could buy manual I never had to worry about the transmission failing. I drove six manual transmission vehicles to over 200k miles without ever having a single transmission or clutch issue. Evade the 25% tax by building in the US.
Like it alot !! Hope it makes it w/o double price jump TY

@@bamban_garcia5562 Are you re tar ded?
No 4wd available. It's based more on the Innova van than the Hilux/Fortuner.
Toyota has plenty of plants in the U.S. to build these so it's actually on them. That said, I don't believe a diesel will work here although there's plenty of other options which would and would also be more affordable from a manufacture's stand point. Would love to have one.
I love it. Great utility truck.
The camper looks awesome. Would these pass crash testing or smog in the states?
No. Because it only has 1 sunvisor.😂
I'd buy a camper,and drive it home to the UK..what an adventure
No. In case you dont know. Toyota has been caught falsefying crashtests, emissions, fuel consumption test for the last 20 years. A specialy all diesel engines. That includes the Hino truck, compressor, generators and construction equipment. Even the latest 300 series v6 Land Cruiser/Lexus diesels. Japan factories has been shut down pending investigation.
Can't pass USA emissions, can't pass crash test... But you can pay $30,000 for a Harley pollute more and die on the way home in a 30 mph crash 🤔😂🤣
@@Kirby_kineticYou're being generous with 30 mph!
Honestly looks pretty dope I kind of want it I would kind of lifted up a bit and give it better tires and that's all it
If there's a extra cab i would definitely buy one
Wait till it gets to Australia, no less than 40k.
Don’t know where you found one for that price. I looked at one while I was getting my Hilux serviced, same engine but automatic transmission, and it was $17,000
before it was launched few months earlier, they claimed it was only USD 10000, but when it was launch two month ago, it is actually close to USD12k in thailand.
Because they are full of shiet. Thank you for doing your research
I just went off what the salesman said... The one I asked about was $11'500 USD but it was not legal to be exported... I think that was 2,000 more... I asked about the camper RV and he said he didn't know
Bring it to the states
Cant wait for the SPAA version of it.
The vibe it gives is asking for zu 23-2 on the back..
Id love to have one of these! Hell, Id pay 15k for one. That's still alot less than the cheapest trucks here cost. And it would out work a santa cruz or maverick.
The actual price is 15k-18k. It's depending on the options and currency exchange rates.
I looked at a maverick the other day, base price on that shitbox was almost 30k. Unreal 😮
@corydodge1691 right! Especially for whats essentially a car/crossover with a bed. If you want that, you might as well pay a little extra and get a Ridgeline that has more space. At least it has a lockable trunk/ice chest in the bed so you can secure your beer 🍺 lol
@@Jackmerius_Tacktheretrix Honestly, I just want a real truck like you could get in the 90s, with roll down windows, A/C, vinyl flooring and 4x4 under 30k new. Not these Gucci trucks that suburban moms want to pick up their groceries.
@corydodge1691 facts! And if I wanted a conpact pickup id want it to be a body on frame, not based on a car.
This is all the truck most American truck owners will ever need
If this is the next take on the hilux, it’s gonna be a great vehicle. Farmers, tradies, commercial or home working Ute. Everyone will want one. Simple, reliable, without the bells and whistles. If it comes in 4WD it’ll take over and change the market. 4WD are too expensive and luxurious to take off-road these days.
very good, very enjoyable
