In this episode of TFL Talkin’ Trucks, Andre and Kase take a tour around the globe to highlight some of the coolest trucks we CAN’T have in the U.S. From the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series still sold in Australia to the ever-popular Toyota Hilux, they break down why these rigs are so beloved overseas and why American buyers keep asking for them.The guys also look at the Dodge Dakota reborn in Brazil and a quirky yet capable kei truck spotted in Thailand. Each of these trucks offers something unique—from rugged dependability to compact practicality—that U.S. buyers would love to get their hands on. So why are they forbidden fruit here? Andre and Kase dig into the regulations, market choices, and what we’re missing out on.( http://www.patreon.com/tflcar )  Visit our Patreon page to support the TFL team!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy"},"annotations":[{"startTime":145.36,"endTime":152.32,"type":"car","title":"Toyota Land Cruiser","url":"/cars/toyota/land-cruiser","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/40/Cemoro-Lawang_Indonesia_Toyota-Land-Cruiser-01.jpg","quote":"..., this truck popped into my mind.
