Well, they are our small work trucks. Things are a little bigger over here for obvious reasons. It sounds like you wanted the truck for reasons other than work releated, and in that case, there are plenty of other diesel offerings for you. Most people who buy pickup trucks in paticular use them for work.

Not offering small diesels like that have nothing to do with the availability of diesel like you suggested.

bigger for obvious reasons? please elaborate.

A small diesel 4 cylinder offers v8 like torque, and great fuel economy. Diesel engines are NOT available in america in anything approaching what I wanted.
Not everyone wants a penis extension... I needed a work truck, not a toy.

Hilux was never offered in America... their equivalent was the tacoma which was offered petrol only

I would consider the raptor as a "toy".. similar to a bowler... It's a luxury for those who can afford it, but it will never be "practical"
