Actually Toyota has had a diesel motor option in trucks since the early 80`s , before Dodge
Saw one at a gas station a few years ago , kinda wanted it

I ment in a real truck, so did Isuzu and VW , where are they?

There in countrys that didnt raise their emision iimits
Thats why VW stoped importing in 2002 and why dodge changed to a 24 valve from a 12 , and why they put smaller turbos on dodges in 2000 and up and why ford went from the great 7.3 to the not so 6.0 to the dual turbo 6.6 all because of goverment restictions
But we dont have to wear face masks like they do in China:D

Its a good thing to because if we had to wear masks nobody could see how good looking us TCer`s are:B

Toyota used to sell diesel trucks in USA. There are a few around here but most of them went to Mexico when Toyota stopped selling them here.

Is it true that trolls can't read?

Since your post history show a propensity to move from forum to forum making uninformed statements or attepts to stir the pot I thought I'd better ask now. I might not get another chance.

You will find that the truck camper owners are the brightest, most intellegent, most highly skilled people in the RV world

Others are often welcomed tho we all know they are out of their league.

OH! by th way.. TC folks are the best looking too :B

Thanks for the compliments!

I don't take my diesel to WalMart or the dealer for oil or fuel filter changes. It's easy and WAY cheaper if I do it myself and with the extended interval over most gas engines I don't see it as a greater expense.

Toyota has had diesel engines in their trucks for decades...just not in the USA.

Your an exception. Most owners don't change the oil theirselves.

When I bought my 2013 truck, to seal the deal, the dealer gave me lifetime $65 oil/filter changes and tire rotation (Dually).

Oil change schedule is 15,000 miles or whatever I am comfortable with.

I wouldnt take any diesel to any oil change place unless you could watch them as they filled the oil filter with oil before they screwed it on , most places install them dry
I dont know what that has to do with the mantanance requirments of gas vs diesel
Maybe it just proves that gas is more " flame" able than diesel
