I added the chin spoiler to my 2019 Tacoma, specifically because I think the exposed crash bars are ugly  I read in an article where a Toyota engineers mentions that removing the 4th gen air dam is supposed to be easy, but IIRC they said something like "oh yeah it'll be easy, just 9 torx bolts and its off!  "

Let me clarify—they’re fine fasteners, but manufacturers love to toss them in randomly and somehow strategically in a way that I don’t have the tools when I need them. Yes I’m a solipsist, why do you ask?

Sagebrush posted:Gazoo is such a dumb name Wrong, it rules quote:At that time, he was not allowed to call the team "Works Toyota Racing". Therefore, the name Team Gazoo was used instead. "Gazoo" (from 画像 (Gazō, lit. "image")) is the name of a portal site that Toyota was involved in establishing - and in public relations, the drivers were also given the nicknames "Cap" for Naruse and "Morizo" for Toyoda.

Americans don't want anything to do with a diesel unless it's a 1000+ ft-lb monster Cummins, Powerstroke, or Duramax. Hell, what's the take rate on the I6 diesel in the Suburban?

ignoring the chicken tax: yes a product designed and optimized for the australian market will surely sell as well in the US market as a product specifically designed and optimized for the US market

They would certainly put a gas motor in it. Really I'm thinking of Maverick success. Any manufacturer that sells a cheap truck will find themselves sold out I think, just like Ford. And kia dealers in America have been wanting a truck for a long time. I dunno I think it would work.
