The Hilux is smaller than the Tacoma. Toyota could easily take the Tacoma, drop a diesel in it, beef it up some and have virtually the same thing. Way cheaper than bringing in the Hilux. The Tacoma could be packaged as an HD model. Same as Ford does with the F150. But then that would impact Tundra sales.

The Tacoma is based on a very old version of the Hilux, much updated. I would think you would need a complete redign, to get the load, towing. and general refinement in one package
