Diesel finally coming in 3rd gen ....

Yup

Beno is the real deal. I hope you are right about the 2.8

Exciting factual news finally

Hope all is well my friend

 

No amount of research can corroborate. Pretty sure we got us some fake news.

Unsub.

 

We have DEF on our newer fire trucks and ambulances. That 10,000 mile refill is a myth. It's more like 3,000 miles.

 

Can't look just at peak torque numbers....but rather where that torque is generated. The diesel's max torque would come in at a considerably lower rpm.

So let's say a gas engine develops 270 lb ft of tq at 5700 and a diesel develops 260 lb ft at 1800 rpm.

On paper someone might say the gas engine "produces more torque"....and technically they would be correct. But the diesel's low rpm peak would trounce the gas engine.

A better question would be...how much torque is the gas engine producing at the same 1800 rpm. The difference would be stark

 

It’s like that with everything now. Just saw a drive engine and deck engine all def fancy-like on a drill rig. Heck em.

 

Yeah but this guy on another forum said so.

 

Doing a google search keeps bringing me back to this thread. Y’all are just wagging a dog with no tail.

 

Yeah so basically, there’s a lot of variables as to what engine produces more torque.

 

But BENO!

 

Dealer we purchased them from, family friend for eons, said that anything above a certain HP level has that garbage on it. Dunno if true, but tests some more bullshit if it is. Shit like this makes me love my no frigging emission bullshit 650 hp Cummins even more.

 

You can not believe it, that’s fine.

Beno is a long time Toyota Employee as well and is a Toyota Consultant

No need to disparage him really

 

Why is everyone so upset about DEF?

 

I would never!

I’m just hardcore skepticing

 

It’s a pain.

 

This. And the fact that it causes more problems than it fixes.

 

So. Many. Problems. Imagine DEF like a liquid gremlin.

 

2019 MY is not far away

And I am sure by spring all google will have the “Toyota diesel rumors for 2019” confirmed

 

It seems like every diesel that comes to u.s has some sort of emissions scandal...ram, jeep, volkswagen.

 

Let’s bet. For funsies. You and I. Gentleman’s bet...

 

I am willing to bet up to $2,000
