Toyota 2011 Hilux - no additional power upgrades

[zaskarD40]

A lightweight upgrade ahead of the VW and new Ford/Mazda utes to be launched at the Sydney Motor Show next week.

Interesting that there continues to be no additional power from the engine. New TD not due to 2012 at earliest.

The Hilux engine may have less power on paper, but in real world offroad driving, it out performs the Navara.

they seem to be a lot more economical too. much better torque curve.

Not according to 4WD ACTION. They recon the D40's engine has it is spades over the Hilux. It's only off road that the Hilux performs better due to better low down torque plus better approach angle and shorter wheelbase.

Thats what I said "Offroad"

These are 4WD so on road performance isn't important, They have a V6 petrol if you want get up and go.

Ooooppss! So you did. My bad

Well it will be interesting to see how the new 2011 model Navara goes...more grunt and less fuel. Can it bridge the issue we all talk about here. Agree that 2.5L is always going to struggle vs 3.0L for low down pull...good luck VW with the 2.0L!!! the offshore reviews are not as good as you would have hoped.

I moved this as its not really D40 info.

ive just bought a 2L in a golf, it is a far better motor than the 3L, i wish someone made a conversion kit for the d22 for the 2L VW motor!
