So Toyota is wussing out on the Engine, dang it. 270HP but add gearing

your than

 

I swear it's going to be hydrogen powered.

 

this thread in a nutshell: TOYORDA PLZ 350 HP AND 35 MPG

 

These threads are really going to heat up when actual specs are released...or maybe people will be bored that they can't speculate anymore and will just leave the forum.

 

GM won't have any reason to troll here anymore you mean

 

Wait wut ? Jim already released the specs from the secret Australia test that only he can view on the Dark Web

 

NO IT"S GONNA HAV 350hp and 350tq and 40mpg

 

BUT IT DIEZEL ? TOYORDA PLS

 

This is what I found.

At the Forum there is information about the new Prado.
The assembly will begin 2016.08
Engines:
2.7 petrol (6-Automatic, Push start / stop)
2.8 turbodiesel new engine (178-258 hp) Euro-4, euro-5, euro- 6 confirmity
3.5 petrol (7GR-FSE, D-4S,) about 300 hp, consumption decreased by 17%, euro-5, euro-6 confirmity,
all with 6 automatic transmission.
That is, 4.0 and 3.0 clean. And the old reliable is 2.7

 

There have been a few diagrams released to dealerships showing the engine is a 2GR-FKS. I know a preliminary order sheet showed the 7GR nomenclature. It's hard to tell who is right because both are from Toyota sources. The 2GR-FKS sheets are no where near as old though so I'd lean in that direction.

 

Its going to be a 7 cylinder to fool everybody. An extra cylinder just for the air compressor. Don't say I didn't say it first!

 

So roughly 25 mpg

 

me thinks so...

My original guesstimate is 24 hwy (real world)

Some of those foreign sites I have been reading have it 300 hp 285 tq...I think that is high considering the Cunuck site slipping with the 270 hp number.

Wish they would hurry up and spill the damn beans.

 

You and me both! If for no other reason to put an end to all of the speculation going around.

 

It's really the old Colorado 5 cylinder with an extra cylinder taped on the end

 

No kidding!

 

This waiting is driving me nuts, and it's time to get more parts for the 2010..... think I ruled out the 15, either keep going on the 10 or get the 16....

 

If we can nut & gut the guberment perhaps we could have real motors like muscle cars in the 60s had.

 

Even if you could shoehorn one into the engine bay of a Tacoma, people would bitch about the craptastic economy and the fact that they're 'car' engines.
