I think we shouldn't be angry at toyota for getting rid of the v8s, because they're being taxed over by emissions and safety standards.
-
thanks Greenies! ill never get rid of my V8 2016 pre DPF troopy
-
Resale value of V8's just jumped 50%...
-
There's no mention of the longevity of the 4 cylinder vs the V8. Common sense says the 4 cylinder has to work so much harder than the V8.
-
In regards to 5 star rating… ANCAP lost the plot some time back. They now just keep shifting the goal posts to remain employed… If only we tracked the stats on how many people had accidents while trying to turn off yet another annoying alarm in the car.. ABS, Seatbelts, Airbags all good. A car that fights you and tries to steer you into crap or beeps at you for checking the mirrors too often in its opinion… F right off.
-
why dont they offer the v6 tubo as in the 300 series ?
-
Why the 4 cylinder out performs the V8 is basically because the V8 comes from factory heavily under tuned and the 4 cylinder comes “over turned”.
-
They should bring back the turbo 6 cylinder, would be a definite winner with customers.
-
Looks like we’ll just have to LS V8 swap it.
-
The V8 ended when they stopped taking orders for it. The current deliveries will have V8 from remaining stored parts to assemble the motors.
-
Opportunity for RAM to take that market share. Toyota will regret it ! They fckd up.
-
Long Live The V8! People still want them. My LC 200 series just jumped in price. Thanks Toyota, Thanks Aussie government 👍
-
Changed to Hilux's from 70s 10 yrs ago and the current 2.8 tows my 3t boat, tandem trailer with tractor with ease. Nicer ride, more comfort and more tech for half the price. I won't be going back to a 70 series in a hurry.
-
Even before the V8, land cruisers always had the bigger engine then the Hilux. I think having an engine from a hilux in a land cruiser will just tank the sales. Toyota needs to make and Iline 6 or V6 if they want the cruiser to stay
-
So the full back story is that this V8 is running at 40% power from factory! A safe tune re map will take it to 70% and double the torque from around 340nm to 620nm at the wheels and and increase of over 100kw! Different vehicle that blows the 2.8 out of the water!
-
Here in Venezuela, there are almost non v8 lc70. They're always petrol inline 6 for the older models and the 1gr-fe v6 for the newer ones. So, for me it's good to know that the 2.8 diesel is now paired with a revised manual, I personally think it's the best iteration
-
Ronny Dahl has a lengthy video on the 4 banger vs the v8, very interesting watch. In short he sold his tuned v8 because he loved the 4 cylinder a lot more.
-
I have a 2023 model Prado 2.8 diesel. It pulls like a tank. Here in Japan where I live is nothing but mountains. It will cruise at any speed you put it at regardless of the steepness of the hills and stick at the speed. Put your foot down and it quickly builds up speed even on very long, steep motorway roads. Cant see why anyone would want a V8 when the 2.8 4 pot is way superior in every way. I think most want them as status just to say they have a big V8.
-
What's weird, they refused to bring the 4.2 straight diesel thats found in Africa
-
It's all about the good vibes when driving your rig, I'd rather have that deep rummbling sound from a V8 compared to a little 4 banger that sounds like my grandmothers disability scooter
