Seriously, who among us doesn’t spend at least a portion of their free time doom scrolling through Facebook Marketplace (or Craigslist, eBay, OfferUp, etc.) looking at all the wild things that people have for sale? Recently, a simple search for anything diesel sent us down a rabbit hole of awesome. Fighting the intrusive thoughts suggesting we adopt them all has proven to be quite the struggle. Without further ado, we present a few of the wildest oddball diesels that Facebook Marketplace has to offer… this week… in Southern California. Seriously, y’all, the internet is wild. What have you seen cross your feeds? Shoot us an email (Newsletter@DieselArmy.com)!

1999 Toyota HiAce

Pronounced “High-Ace,” this imported minivan is a radically cool specimen of Japanese awesome. This fourth-generation 1999 Toyota HiAce is powered by a 3.0-liter 1KZ-TE four-cylinder turbodiesel engine. The engine is indirect injection with a compression ratio of 21.2:1. Power output peaked at 128 hp with 212 lb-ft of torque. The HiAce has been in production since 1967. This HiAce features all-wheel drive, and the seller claims that it’s in great condition. With only “import papers” and no current registration, this HiAce is listed for $10,800.

1995 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado

The Toyota Land Cruiser Prado was first developed as a light-duty version of the Land Cruiser 70-series in 1984. It was originally only available in short-body layouts and carried names like “Land Cruiser II” and “Bermuda.” The J70 Prado name officially debuted in 1990. This clean 1995 four-door Prado represents the final model year of the first generation. These vehicles were produced in Toyota City and Tahara, Japan, along with Envigado, Colombia. This one is powered by the same 3.0-liter 1KZ-TE four-cylinder turbodiesel engine as the HiAce. With only “import papers” and no current registration, this Prado is listed for $18,800.

1986 Isuzu Trooper

There’s not much classier than an old-school Isuzu Trooper, and this 1986 model is oozing with swagger. Powering this Trooper is a 2.2-liter turbodiesel four-cylinder engine. The C223T engine made a staggering 58 hp with 93 lb-ft of torque. The seller of this model claims that it loves to be run on biodiesel. The Trooper comes with a fresh transmission and rear differential along with a set of KC Daylighter lights, a pair of Maxtrax recovery boards, an Optima Yellow Top deep cycle battery, and a Jerry Can fuel carrier on the rear bumper. With 113,000 miles on the odometer this truck is barely broken in, and at $7,900 is quite the steal.

1981 Volkswagen Rabbit

Who said the Ranchero and El Camino were the coolest part-truck part-car hybrids? The Volkswagen Rabbit is the company’s oft forgotten trucklet, and this 1981 model is about as cool as they come. Powered by a 1.6-liter diesel engine that made 52 glorious horsepower, the VW Rabbit would make it from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 16.8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 82 mph. But hey, at least it got 32 mpg. With 215,000 miles, this fairly clean example is listed for $7,800. The only question we’ve got is… why?
