I was just noticing how low and sloping the hood on the global Toyota Hilux (left) is, compared to its US market Toyota Tacoma (right) version. I own a Tacoma and besides compromising pedestrian safety in a crash, that high hood also ruins short-range forward visibility on trails. Kill it dead!

Is the Hilux engine that much smaller? Or is this purely an aesthetic choice by Toyota catering to American buyers?Is the Hilux engine that much smaller? Or is this purely an aesthetic choice by Toyota catering to American buyers?
Go all Forward Control, you cowards! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_Fo... Make the drivers strap specialized air mattress or pillows to the front to protect pedestrians any time they want to drive it on the roads.
Looks menacing in the Starbucks drive-through though

Tacoma used to be my dream trunk, but it's been 10 years since they stopped making the 2nd gen and offering a single cab. Now, I don't really care about it.
Man we need more smaller trucks so bad, there's such big demand for them
