Diesel finally coming in 3rd gen ....

The 2017 Hilux 2.8 diesel engine already uses DPF overseas. I'm sure it won't take much to conform it to American EPA standards.

While saying that, it also has its fair share of issues regarding its DPF filter:

This right here. Ill believe it when i see it from toyota.

 

It would be cool though to see it in a Tacoma. This forum would be ablaze with popular hit thread titles you love such as-

“Why am I in derate?”

“Towed to the dealer blues”

“Poor def quality...is that even a thing?”

“Poor def quality code, dealer has no fix”

“One of my 45 sensors shit the bed”

“My wife left me because my turbos shot”

“Mystery code, no fix, stuck at dealer”

“Even dealer doesnt know what to do”

“I miss my gas job”

“I did an egr delete and LEDS, now my shit won’t start. What caused it? LEDS or delete?”

“I don’t tow shit, why did I buy this?”

 

Still super unlikely, last time I talked to Toyota training they had no immediate plans for diesel, they feel no need to compete with the US manufacturers. It will not help sales much.

 

I haven't read entire thread, but how would the diesel not produce more torque? Isnt that the whole point of a diesel?

 

Just because diesel doesn’t mean more torque.

 

I heard they are making a diesel Tacoma in 2019

 

Diesels do produce more air pollution, and make a bigger carbon foot print than unleaded gasohol. I think the wave of the future is a Electric truck

 

start a thread about it

 

Aw bless your heart

 

I wouldn't buy a diesel in a midsize truck if it made more torque...but if it doesn't I'm not sure why anyone would want to switch.

 

I started one on Ih8mud

 

I don’t know why either. I think it’s because people THINK they like diesel, because “fuggin DIESEL” and ‘murca. But I feel like 90% of these people barely grasp oil changes... they’re in for a hoot.

 

Like a boss

 

You only have a few months

Since 2019 models are 8-9 months away

 

Unrelated. Are you a girl? Someone said you’re a girl. Blink once if you’re a girl.

 

there are 70 people viewing this thread JUST because it says that there's a diesel coming.


tsk tsk tsk

 

My bet is the 2.8 liter, hopefully with the DPF issues resolved. Beno's legit on mud, so his diesel news sounds promising.

 

Yup, my company just bought a new Vermeer trencher with DEF.

 

DEF is a fucking joke. We just bought 2 new John Deere 5085 tractors and they have DEF on them. Bullshit. It's a tractor.
