Call Toyota & demand a Diesel!
Here is the # (800) 331 - 4331, option 3, option 1, option 5, & your in!
Tell them our desires to have as an option the new D4D diesel engines. Just do a search on google.com type in "Toyota diesels" in the search engine & you will be amazed about thier recent un veilling of the 2.2 liter 175 HP w/ some crazy torque rating! Check it out!!, Espi :shocked: |
*depressed sigh*
175hp? Thats it?? They should be starting at 400hp and 800+tq in their trucks if they want to have ANY HOPE of competeing with the big 3 at all..... the 05 powerjoke has 325hp and 570tq and I use it all, all the time. |
With the current diesel prices they can keep it................
|
I'd like to see something like a 3.0 Turbo Diesel with about 210HP and about 325 lb/ft torque.
Even with higher diesel prices it'd still be worth it in fuel economy and engine longetivity. I know these engines can run 200,000+ miles, but a diesel will do effortlessly. |
I would pay 50 cents more per gallon of fuel to go twice as far.
I would also take my gas cans up to the farm station and fill them with off road diesel so I would pay $2 a gallon to go twice as far. |
meant to add more to my post....
It's at least a start!!! But I still want a HINO in a 4runner...lol |
Diesel rules! Once you have it, you won´t change it.
|
Toyota's diesels are Hino's
|
hino
And Hino is owned by Toyota.

speaking of the VW taureg...it is one of the worst rated cars in terms or reliabilty.
|
I like the idea...
...but the issue may be better addressed through petitioning our reps to change the laws that keep the small deisels banned by the import regs...

Be careful buying a diesel-maybe the reason Toyota is not selling new generation diesel engines in the states is that they are very sensitive,unlike the old diesel engines in which you could put vegetable oil. There are many diesels in my country avalible ,even the D4D,but they demand very high Quality diesel(0%sulphur...),and if you put diesel that was perfectly fine for the older engines in them, they will get clogged completly-I've seen it happening to many ,many people .They start to lose power, smoke and you must completly tore down the engine and clean it-very expensive.These new common rail diesels are great performers-but they demand CLEAN fuel. |
Yup...Naked lady mud flaps and a rebel flag. ROFL :lol:
All kidding aside a really sweet diesel would be fun to drive again. Haven't had one since my mercedes 300D.
