Late 60s maybe very early 70s. I had a neighbor in a teeny town in E Washington that had a Hilux. It seemed perfect to me for a retired farmer. It was still a pickup but got 30 mpg when mine got 10. I'm trying to remember who the dealer was in Spokane at the time. I think it was Precision Auto but I could be mistaken. I bought an MGB from them in '71 and they had Honda cars. I think they dropped the English and brought in Toyota right after but I'm just not sure.
The pickups were a lot more popular than the cars in my part of the world.
They don't have the typical Toyota trucks we see in the states with the 2 wheel drive, 4x4, same body the other places we've been. They're all that Hilux model with a diesel.
Lot, lotta diesels most everywhere compared to here actually
