Here we go... what is a Tacoma?

It’s a slightly-boxier, less sexy version of the Hilux.

Yep

4 cylinder engine.

Ah the 2.2. L4

Some junky little engines, that's for sure.

Either way…Yeah, s10’s are definitely not fast but they are and can be extremely furious. I lost count of how many burnouts I’ve done in mine over the years.

Might even do one tonight maybe.

Those rears must be bald.

V4?

Must be duck power (ducatti).

(Sorry chica, I had to. )

'50 chev or gmc truck body over S10 frame with an LS swap. Dropped on coils with a 4 link and a 9 out back. All the adapters are available and it's almost a bolt-on conversion. Such pro street. Very wow.

You know, I'm only just realising how different the cars one gets here are, compared to where you guys are.
Half of the time I don't really know what you're talking about just because we don't get those here.

I try to translate to Oz models where I can.

I didn't think tacos were available in Australia, but that may have/be changing or dealers are importing them. Most people like diesels in their trucks down there, and the taco is petrol/hybrid/full ev only. So not worth it in a market dominated for DECADES by diesel Toyotas.

Yeah, I did some homework again last night and it looks like Toyota is releasing a V6 Tundra hybrid in AU instead of Tacoma to compete with Ford.

I think people prefer diesels ‘cos they seem to get better gas mileage and last longer…Packs more power per punch, or so they say.
