The international Hilux is different then what was sold in NA. Brakes are different, and no problem stoping (useless handbrake though..). HD springs handle the weight so the truck don’t wander around. I’ve drove Hilux and equivalent size trucks fully loaded many times, and it’s a non issue...

No.. I was referring that in NA you’re limited to full-size trucks if you want real world load capabilities. Slowly..

I think this is considered descent “flex” (the counter rear wheel drops about the same). these are HD OME springs rated for constant 600lb load and max 1800lb, mounted in Original suspension brackets. Pictured with only 1/2 the load capacity on the truck when the picture was taken. Yes, when...

As a fact there are more then several mid-sized trucks that can and handle this load. Slowly..

My signature.. This is how I like to handle off-road. Slowly..

Fuelly shows you what you feed into it.. And if your user profile include x% idle+slow tragic+off-road+towing+highway+blablabla.. Then the results does take into consideration all the variables that represent your profile. Slowly..

No.. You can always load 1 ton on a semi with14 ton spare.. There’s always a bigger fish. The point is that for decent load capacity, NA are mostly limited to full sized trucks while out of NA you have other options. Not just Toyota. Slowly..

Opposite. Slowly..

I mentioned “20 years ago” as a proportion for the different approach between NA and the rest of the world regarding 1ton truck. A 2019 1tom truck outside NA are way refined machines. Slowly..

1ton is 1ton everywhere on planet earth. Slowly..

Not even close in Diesel engines. And when you can get have a 1 ton truck with 20+mpg real world numbers (more then 20 years ago..), that’s a huge difference. Slowly..

I own a 1997 hilux, it share some axle and mechanical parts. For example, When you use a disc brake that’s design for a 4ton truck, on a 2.5 ton truck with smaller engine, you get extensive durability.. this wasn’t an option in NA as I understand. The newer hilux share with the LC120-150 I’ve...

Europe doesn't fall behind NA regarding quality of roads and you can buy Hilux/equivalent size pickups, and you rarely see Tacoma's or other US specific models. It's something else. More like combination of culture and industry strategy. First of all, it's not about "Hilux" but more accurate as...

I think Lockers and axles shafts and suspension parts are mostly not interchangeable so it’s not identical in different costume. Slowly..

I relate to the apples and squirrels that were competed here.. The Hilux keeps the load rating everywhere it’s sold. The ranger doesn’t, and you still doesn’t see the crowds standing inline for rangers.. But we’re drifting from the main title of this tread. Slowly..

Tacoma in not a hilux, to start with, different frame, suspension and lots more. Regarding comparison to the ranger, there is a “small” difference in payload. The hilux is rated over 2200lb (full metric ton) payload, 600lb more then the ranger. I can’t see the ranger even getting close to...

You sound, literally, like someone who cares for your surrounding. Your not the majority.. Down wind, you hear generator from quit a distance, especially the monotonous pitch sounds.

If you camp alone with no neighbors you can spot with your eyes, then generator is a simple solution. If there is another person in proximity to you, a generator is one of the more annoying noise you can meet when you go for camping . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The body is sitting on rubber bushings, and the original negative wire is not suited for heavy or distant installations. I’ve added a second negative wire to the frame (10awg easier then replacing the original one). And added a new negative wire from the frame to the trucks bed. I can see the...

I’ve used “blind pop rivets” To build my trucks bed drawers and storage space made from square aluminum tubes(old window frames). Easy to work with, strong (airplanes are built this way..). Water tank frame:
