Looks like they brought a few units that sold already .
$385k is the quoted price.

BTW is the vehicle in those pics really the new 2021 Hilux? It's a Rocco which looks very similar to the current Roccos.rebound wrote:385k yuh say inno...

2021 is just really a facelift
And better performance
Loll bt was actually his wife's choice. They lived on the east coast, so alot of damage control still and she bought it to put to work. Both vans are getting the tub pulled off and going full custom. I love what they do there with those flat bed trays.agent007 wrote:Your friend has taste and I see what he replaced the new bt50 with lol?nick639v2 wrote:One of my friends in AU got his new bt50 delivered monday
Yea they had it a while now actually. With the sync3 system etc. I personally don't like the way it handles acceleration, there's a slingshot feel to the transmission and the body roll, took it off the lists for me.digitalgamingtt wrote:What are the general thoughts about the ford ranger 2.2l 4x4 automatic?

Toyota claims the new 2.8 in comparison to the old 3.0 has a 30% smaller turbo; 25% more torque; 15% more fuel efficient;30% smaller catalyst and 44% better thermal efficiency.

How’s the GD coping with our diesel.
Remember initially Toyota reps was speaking against the grey market GD engines and they were still selling the KD.
Unless the KD that they sell has some special tuning for our high sulphur diesel

I even know a few people who bought the 1GD from the grey market while TTTL was still selling the 1KD, and these folks have no issues.
I am not sure if any tweaks were done to the map for the TTTL 1GD, but I was also told that local fuel samples were sent to Toyota for analysis and this in turn would have been compared to the 1GD engine design to "optimise" compatibility. I can't say for certain if that's true or not, so I'll have to take the word of my contact.
But the point is, and this is on the basis that what I've said is indeed the case (which I believe to be true as many other dealers seem to do the same) Toyota seems to do a bit more research in local conditions before a vehicle is introduced to market. Grey market does not and they will bring a vehicle from a another market that was not necessarily meant for the local market.
Of course, given that many of the 1GDs seem to be faring well, grey market and local, then this could debunk any statements that research was done into local conditions. Or, maybe the 1GD is such a hardy engine that it'll work here no matter what.
Regardless, I strongly believe the 1GD is doing well here and doesn't appear to have any major issues.
BTW, you can't really "tune" an engine for sulphur. Sulphur is a "poison" in fuel and sulphur is responsible for the acidity in an engine which, over time, causes damage and wear. Sulphur is also a pollutant to the environment as the combustion process results in sulphur dioxide. Engine is tuned for fuel quality which has to do with composition of the fuel (cetanes+). That is why engine oils have a TBN or total base number which reflects the alkalinity of the oil which in turn will neutralise the effects of acidity due to sulphur and nitrogen. This helps reduce the effects of acidity in the engine.scotty_buttons wrote:agent007 wrote:I wrote up a comparison between our Hilux and our np300 in the pickup thread but I don’t recall anything on the 1gd.
