Powerstroke in a Toyota Pickup??

They did produce the 4.5 v6 diesel that they were going to put in the half ton. There in commercial box trucks.

 

Anyone hear anything about a Toyota Diesel? about 14 months ago, before i bought my truck, my brother in law said they were supposed to come out w. a diesel.. i know i saw a few years back a Tundra dually w. a cat diesel but it was just a concept. i heard w. the economy getting so bad they scratched the idea.

NO, just bad news. But here is a little tidbit for ya http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2011/0...ng-four-cylinder-diesel-for-nissan-titan.html

 

what about the crd vgt diesels jeep put in the liberty,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_Liberty

2.5 or 2.8 liter I4.

I know, I said jeep but these engines or produced by vm motori, an Italian company. read more - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VM_Motori

looks like jeep has been producing these from 2001 so there's gotta be some in the junk yards....

Same with the idea of putting a PowerJoke into a Taco.

From the factory, the Diesel options are simply not good.

On the one hand, you have the Cummins. Quite possibly the absolute best Diesel engine available.... and it is wrapped in the worst truck in the known universe.

At the other end of the spectrum, you have Ford, with perhaps the best domestic (branded) pickup available... and they stuffed the worse oil burner available under the hood.

So for heavy towing options (3/4 ton and up) my choices would be Ford for a gasser, or GM/Duramax for a Diesel.

They can help.
Waste oil reprocessed into usable fuel allows fossil fuels to be diverted to other sources....

But the simple fact is that world hunger is not due to any kind of food shortage. There is more than enough food in the world to go around.
The problem is warlords in control of 3rd world countries maintaining control of the supply.

 

^^^^ Nice. Bravo.

 

Of course it will.

By giving teenage boys awesome Diesel trucks to play with, they'll be too busy to be bangin' the babes... and they'll get smarter because they'll be working on their trucks instead of playing WoW!
