I owned a Toyota Hilux D4D when i lived overseas and NOTHING made from Toyota today can equal a Hilux, certainly not a T100 or a Tacoma or any of the crap that Toyota sells here. The same goes for Honda as well, it's not just Toyota. Of course a White Honda Accord painted white would run you about $42,000 over there.

The Hilux I had was great and got 26 mpg in heavy city traffic with the A/C blowing all the time. There were no highways, well one but I rarely used it since I didn't have to drive to Manila too often. I would buy another one if I could but there is no way to get one here especially a diesel. Mine was manufactured in Thailand and it was solid, great fit on all the seams. The guy I sold it to is still driving it and thinks it's the best truck he's ever owned. Cost new at that time was about $16,000 USD.

Beg to differ with you Steve.  The T-100 that I have was built in Japan.  I bought it new in 1996.  I have not spent a dime on repairs in all of fifteen years of ownership.  It's nothing but stone axe reliable.  Other than a cracked windshield and a few paint chips, It still look relatively new.  To say it doesn't compare to your Hilux is more than a bit inaccurate.  Unless of course, your Hilux was capable of space travel, then I'd have to agree with you.   In conclusion, I will assume that you meant to say Tundra, not T-100.
