New diesel engine for Toyota. Will it make it here?

Just saw this today. I am hoping this makes it over here and replace the 2.7

It won't. There are already a couple threads about this. In official Toyota info they have stated a diesel will not come to North America because the cost will outweigh the benefits.

 

More likely to get the 2.0 turbo from the lexus Nx.... which i would be all for.

 

As much as I LOVE my 2015 Taco, I'd willing to trade it in if they offered either the 2.8 or 2.4 D-4D engines in the US market attached to a 4x4 DC with a proper 6 speed manual. But as others have mentioned, Toyota has no plans to bring a diesel mid-size truck to the US.

 

Nope and you can thank the EPA for that.

 

Give Toyota a couple of years to fiddle around with their diesel tech some more. I'm willing to bet that they may have a diesel engine for the 4th gen ten years from now. Who knows how much larger and more fuel efficient mid-size and full-size trucks will be by then.

 

I'm not a fan of the EPA, but in this particular case it's not 100% their fault, Toyota deserves some blame too. Toyota (as well has a good number of TW members) doesn't think there is a sufficient enough size US market/demand for a diesel mid size truck in the US. I personally think roughly 10-15% of Tacoma's would sell with a diesel engine if offered. Remember there were a lot of skeptics regarding the Ram 1500 and Jeep GC offering a diesel. Now the Eco-diesel makes up nearly 20% of the product mix for those two models. I really hope the GM twins sell well with the diesel, it might convince Toyota to offer one in 3-5 years, who knows.

 

Toyota has a Hydrogen Fuel Cell car going around shows this year. Maybe that will bolt onto a 6 speed manual?

Saw two of them at the Father's Day car show in Rodeo Drive. I only walked into the booth to see if they had a 16er taco

 

Nein! I choose to believe....

 

You mis-spelled California

 

Output numbers:

Toyota D4D 2.8L = 177 horsepower at 3400 rpm, and 330 lbs·ft of torque at 1400-2600 rpm

GM 2.8L Duramax = 200 hp @ 3,600 rpm (for International engine 180 hp @ 3800) and 360 lb-ft @ 2,000 rpm (for International engine 325 lbs-ft @ 2000)

 

Not that it matters to much but GM has already announced the US specs for the 2.8 Duramax, 181, not 200.

 

Hmm, Still better than the D4D

 

If that 4 less hp means what much to you get the GM, I'm sure it will be decent. If given the option I rather have the max torque at a lower and broader rpm band.

 

I would rather own a Toyota than a GM

 

I'd rather have that turbo motor then a a turbo diesel. That's right I said it

 

I rather have a busty blonde with a low self esteem then a busty brunette with a low self esteem.

 

Just goes to show, different strokes for different fokes, I would rather have the busty brunette, but I would never let her know that, I wouldn't want to ruin that low self esteem.

 

Hybrid electric / turbo diesel

 

meh.... it's all pink inside and equally low self esteem
