2012 Toyota Hilux

Forgive me for my ignorance if the Hilux is supposed to be the global badging of the Tacoma, but damn does the 2012 Hilux sound pretty damned sweet...

I always thought the Tacomas were really B.A. Like a Ford Ranger on steroids. Major ground clearance and 4wd, all while staying a small lightweight pickup truck size.

My brother had a Hilux. Think it was a 1970. There wasn't very many Toyota trucks on the road then.

I have used Hilux trucks while over in Afghanistan and I liked them a lot.

I saw one of these today driving on the way home. Looked the same as in the link, except it was white and had a different hood. Even had the Hilux emblem.

wonder if someone rebadged a Tacoma? As far as I know they don't sell the Hilux in the States?
