100 Series Questions - '05 vvti engine & sway bars? (1 Viewer)

[uzj100]

1. Saw in the new truck trend that the 2005 Tundra and Sequioa will have the new 4.7 vvti engine with 282 hp/328 torque. They did not mention the LC, LX, GX or 4Runner. Any idea if this engine will be available in these other trucks especially the 100?

2. Also in the new truck trend, they had an article on the new dodge power wagon with disconnectable sway bars. I wonder if this could be added to the 100 series or any other 4x4 out there with sway bars. Looked like a pretty straight forward system.

Best Regards,

Considering LC is Toyota Flagship, I bet that engine would make it to LC also.
2004 GX470 have kinetic swaybar system which does not disengage but rather force articulation when needed. They are far superior than just swaybar disconnect. I hope they would make it to 05 LC.

Both those options would be sweet on the '05 cruiser, vvti and kinetic swaybar. Could the kinetic swaybar be added to an existing cruiser. If so, start looking for totaled gx470's.

I heard the new engine will be added to the 4runner. The taco would get an updated V6.
