Hey Woody, What do you know about the rumor that Toyota has killed the FJ Cruiser?Toyota and diesel...hehehe.....almost the entire world outside the USA gets diesels as standard equipment....yes, they have the experience - see the Diesel section here and read for hours on the 1HDT, 3B, and the dozens of other presently available variants.
weight: minor difference...today's modern diesel engines are dimsionally similar to the gassers they replace, with improved mileage and torque characteristics.
I'll wager Toyota comes out with a diesel in about 2009 or 2010 for the FJC....fuel prices need to jump a little more to make it viable, the US consumer is to addicted to their right foot when driving.
^^^haha, 2012/2013 what are you talking about? The FJ Creuiser is going to be discontinued in 2009, didn't you read the previous posts?
I posted it a few month ago and the situation did not change yet. The new diesel generation has not the reliability of the old ones. The interest of Toyota also is pretty low in changing the situation. Euro 4 is probably one of the reasons, biodiesel another one. Now Euro 5 is coming. In september at least three J20 engines died in Austria, do you think that those cases did wake up the managers in Nippon?
The same for the Prados , the last J9, the J12 and now the J15. They changed a few times the injectors,(first injectors - step 1 injectors - step 2 and so on) they did upgrading the software, new shims, and and and, but the problem stays. The last Hilux generation is now having those problems.
I had a very long time a good old HDJ. Ok the newer diesel generations consume less, are much more clean and and and, but they do not live long.
What's about the gasoline prices in Europe? In most of the countries the difference now is only a few cent. So the interesst having a diesel is dissapearing more and more.
Hmmm, why does Toyota now wants a cooperation with BMW?
