If you were us, would you guys make a trip down and bring up 2 hilux's or go with the tundra's?

The roads in Mexico, especially the northern half, are better than further south and Central America, as is most other things. Think of it a little like "Latin America Lite". They may release the HiLux in the US but I am 99.9% positive it will NOT be diesel. The Tundra is a US ONLY Toyota, they don't make or sell it in other markets (no one else wants such a large pickup but Americans). The HiLux is a global market vehicle. The new diesel Hilux that a fellow at the school has is made in Argentina.
