Tacoma With Diesel Engine Petition. Sign up now!

With less cost in refining , probably a saw off

 

single cab if I had to choose, but I wouldn't buy one unless it was similarly priced to the gas model which it wouldn't be.

Plus it will never happen because of our retarded government.

 

shit just bring back the 1st gen with modern interior and a SFA and you would have a god among off road trucks!

 

with all the new smog equipment required on diesels there would be a huge price increase for a diesel option

 

I vote supercharged big block V8

 

A while back I went to a truck show and seen a 2nd gen with a diesel engine dropped in it. They ran it and have some demonstrations with it. It was pretty sweet to see a taco throw a plume of smoke and haul a huge as 3rd wheel trailer. The spectators where told that it was a partnership company with yota to manufacture these "diesel" tacos".

Even better was that these will be hitting showrooms late 2013.

Here are some pics of said engine in the 2nd gen taco.

Here we go again.

 

consider me signed x1000000000000

toyotas d4d diesel is a sweet little mill! i want one offered across the tacomas model range sold here in the us it would make my truck a 100 times better thats for sure.

 

Toyota has no financial incentive to put in a diesel on a vehicle like the Tacoma. For starters, it will not be cheap to retool. The increase in reveneue from any sales will be marginal at best and it certainly will not compensate for the cost of retooling. It will also require fighting with EPA regulators and having additional taxes and fees levied. Last but not least, diesel will give you better gas mileage but the cost of diesel continues to skyrocket as the price for regular petrol remains pretty flat. This is not going to change. One of the biggest sellings points is negated by the fact that a gallon of diesel is going to be hovering around $5 a gallon pretty soon.

A short while ago, Toyota announced they were going to put in a diesel on the Tundra then withdrew the plans six months later. They realized it was not worth it and would be a liability in the US market. It doesn't matter what happens in the Euro market. In North America, diesels will pretty much always be the territory of fullsize Heavy Duty pickups. A diesel on a Taco? Forget about it.

 

to be hones id rather a turbo diesel in the tacoma than the Hilux -- i was not impressed when i checked one out on the show-room floor

for toughness and durability id rather something like this

3k signers is hardly anything they're not going to bring a diesel engine here over that.

 

A diesel engine would be the best thing to put in a tacoma, more power, better towing, and better mpg.

 

Again??? REALLY? Let it go! Where is the poll option to stfu about a diesel engine???

 

AWWWWWW...you're a dick. I was doubting the picture too, then I click the link, yep, no picture

 

SUPER GENIUS!

 

i don't care i still want one. when i pay my truck off its going to diesel toyz in tx unless toyota finally gets smart and brings that awesome d4d here.

 

why click on the thread?
you know what its about...
just saying

 

I'm with you.
I've considered finding a high mileage 2nd gen on the cheap & sending it out to DieselToys for the D4D/Biodiesel conversion.


I'm enjoying my '12 too much right now though

 

To let people know how I feel about the topic, maybe I'll start a petition.... I'll add a poll too, maybe, just maybe if I can get 3000 people to sign my petition people will either 1: Search and see how many times this topic has been beat to death, or 2: Get put in time out for wasting server space on this... It's all a conspiracy I tell you!

 

another 2 years and i will have a really well maintained and low milage 2.7 liter engine and trans for sale lol.
