I saw the title of this thread, and it gave me a hankering for a Mondo Burrito from Taco Del Mar...

Then I realized it was about the Toyota truck.  But now I'm still hungry!

This is flagrant false advertising!  Or I just need to get Mexican food tonight  :D

Luckily, I don't like Mexican food so waiting is no hardship.

Dirtbag climbers and skiers use "taco" as slang for something completely different.

I always figured the Tacoma and Hilux were built on the same platform,but had different engines and styling to suit their respective markets.  I wonder which is the better truck in terms of being "unbreakable."

The Hilux. Hopefully Toyota will bring it over and just get done with this Tacoma thing....

Here's a rendering of the upcoming Hilux

Looks pretty good, certainly more upscale and modern looking than the current Tacoma we have.  Wish we had that.  Especially the diesel...
