I don't think I've ever seen a Toyota diesel pickup in the United States, although this ad clearly shows that they were available in '83. In a not-so-subtle jab at GM and their disastrous Olds 350 diesel conversion, the announcer makes it clear that the Toyota truck has "a true diesel engine- not a converted gasoline engine." Oh, what a feeling!
