Don't forget the legendary ride and handling of these trucks: The other day I bought some non-homogenized milk and tried to bring it home. It stayed milk for a little while but by the time I had it home (and especially up the mile-long rocky driveway) there was no longer any cream at the top. It had all turned into butter.
And an anecdote about the legendary racing potential of Toyotas...
When I was in Panama, our lab vehicle was a 2000s diesel hilux. The first time I drove it, I compared it to the 2WD '93 truck I've driven in the states and thought "Wow, this thing has zip!". Other people commented to me that it was like driving a really slow sedan. Now that I have the 4x4 22R, every time I drive the 2WD I think "Wow, this thing has zip!". Thus, a 22R-powered 4x4 is slower than a vehicle that is slower than a slow vehicle. That's pretty slow, folks.
OK, so you might be a Toyota 4x4 guy if you:
-- Incessantly fix your 30 year old truck but talk about how reliable it is
-- Get honked at by tractor-trailers for being too slow pulling away from a light
-- Have races with other Toyotas to see whose ride is the slowest
-- Lust after a longbed diesel Toyota dually
-- Wish Toyota still sold real pickups (Hiluxes) in the US
-- Get into friendly arguments about which generation looks coolest.
-- Tell anecdotes about the legendary racing potential of Toyotas.
