Can you guess the most popular car sold in Hawaii?

Hawaii residents love their Toyota Tacoma’s and according to Hawaii Auto Dealers Association (HADA) the Tacoma was the number one car model sold in 2021.

A waitress I work with who has a plot of land where she grow vegetables just bought a 2003 Toyota 4x4 Landcruiser with 276,000 miles on it. No rust on the undercarriage, under the hood was dusty with the normal use look. Previous owner had switched to synthetic oil, air filter was brand new, brakes and tires were in good condition. No body rust.. She paid $9,000.00 for the rig with air con, 2 rows of leather seats, 3rd row removed. Mainland car shipped to Hawaii.

My 2006 Toyota Sequoia, 2 rwd has 140,300 miles on it. She and I are both happy with our purchase, even with the price of gas and the LOW mpg that we both get. dumb n' dumber perhaps??

Perhaps not. You didn't say anything about commuting past two belt highways in/out of Dallas or Houston or Atlanta 5 days/week.

Between maintenance and vehicle replacement costs, I'd say unless you are severely discounting your commute (doesn't sound like you really have one relative to haole suburbia) smart n' smarter.

My son lives on Maui and I am always amazed at the amounts of Toyotas there. Been more than happy with my last 7 Toyotas and got my last one from a nice older man up in Washington State. Flew up and drove it back.

My son is here on the mainland looking to buy and ship it back.

Her commute is probably 40+ miles from her residence to & from work or veggie plot round trip, another 10 for surf checks & etc, daily.
Mine, from Kilauea to Hanalei, 12 miles r/t, to and from work + 6 for surf checks, etc daily.
I'll make the one way 23 miles run into Lihue for Costco gas & food, Home Depot & such about every 8 or 9 days + / - with a 26 gallon fuel tank.

I am guessing agribusiness and surf/rescue work requires those rigs. Given how long they last, the non-exorbitant maintenance, availability of parts, etc. that it's a good idea.

Umm?? Thanks but no thanks .... Would Not work for flood conditions into / out of Hanalei nor getting electrocuted while sitting in your Moke. Getting stuck in the sand here would run the battery down completely. The undercarriage would get ripped out if the Moke was taken out on the old sugarcane red dirt roads.
And the "mokes" in their 4x4 lifted Tacoma's would most certainly just run over the top of the "street legal Moke" with or with out the Formula 1 driver at the wheel. :roflmao:

I know, it just made me think of being there

I think what makes the middle one so goofy looking are the tires

There's no axle clearance because those are like 32s

Are short + wide tires better than 35s, 37s, 40s? Florida and the PNW go with tall tires
