I hear Ford is bringing back the Ranger, in diesel. Why can't we have a diesel HiLux?

No 4x4 or diesel options in the Hilux down here . Ford Ranger has diesel and 4x4
options as do Mitsubishi,Nissan and VW.

I had some seat time in a VW 2years ago in Mulege..Diesel powered and pretty impressive...My wife and I were staying at a lodge in the Scottish
Highlands and had the use of a "Chevrolet Tracker" thingy with a lil Turbo diesel in it....Really neat..all of of our use was non public road..If I
could have figured out a way to do it, I would have brought one back...

Any diesel that passes current US emission standards isn't worth having IMHO. Any fuel savings will be rapidly eclipsed by maintenance costs.

Spoken by someone who has never owned a diesel...I have NEVER bought one to save money on fuel...My one ton Dodge Cummins which I gave to my boy now
has 892,000 miles on it...Head has never been off....IMHO your HO aint worth squat...

The problem with the
current batch of diesels that are designed for meeting air quality standards is that they are overly complicated beasts with delicate anti pollution
gear that costs a fortune to repair when they inevitably go south. I am not anti diesel at all, I currently drive a 2000 f350 Powerstroke, and use a
diesel generator for my home, and have had many diesel trucks and other equipment. It is my opinion that the overly complicated and extremely
expensive diesel engines that they are currently installing in vehicles pretty much negate the benefits. Try and find someone to diagnose and fix a
new Ford, Cummins, or Isuzu(Duramax) diesel in Viscaino or Santa Rosalia. Good luck, you'll be looking for a tow truck to the border.

Chuckles,
Mono was incorrectly talking about passing current emissions stds with a modern engine, you are incorrectly talking about a 20 year old engine.
Apples and oranges.

The reason you liked the VW so much is because the emissions system was switched off. I think no longer sells diesels. Are they still selling any
cars?

Woody, not that rare really....you just need a sharp eye...and you can't just take any CT you see ...there seems to be a social protocol for
collecting them.
Oh, don't even think of taxidermy...

Moose horns are more than rare, I have never seen them!
Antlers however, are very common around my part of the forest.
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!
