New Toyota Diesel Family, Diesel v8 Land Cruiser on sale now
Australia/New Zealand
Engine code 1VD-FTV
Rediculously low weight for a diesel. Looks like finally someone is putting technology in one instead of simply relying on shear mass to hold one together! Powerband looks amazingly long. A very wide differance (for a diesel) in peak torque, and horsepower figures.
I speculate this is the first seeings of what happened when Toyota bought alot of GM's stake in Isuzu. I *really* want to see what happens when Yamaha get's to run wild with the valvetrain & head design. lmao. 10 years from now we'll have a diesel engine with vvtl-i & intake manifold runner/pleumn trickery lmao!
Anyways... GM might wind up kicking themselves in the ass bigtime down the road from ditching Isuzu stock... btw, for anyone that doesn't know. GM's 300,000 engine/year Duramaxx line = 100% Isuzu...
