The ford engineers found the problem and drew a circle around it

Which one will still be worth 30g in 10 years that's about number one reason people keep buying then would rather have 20nm or an extra 10g in your pocket when you sell it

none of them but if I had to put money on it holden or ford.

Looks bloody awful

Well if you do want 1, you're probably going to miss out till the next shipment arrives. TNZ could only secure 800 vehicles for now, and by the sounds they are pretty much all presold. Unsure when there will be more arriving.
TNZ already have a few there but due to restrictions no one on courses this week was allowed to take photos etc. Worldwide release was yesterday, but NZ's full release is not until October.
Toyota is at max production levels worldwide, and can't produce any more vehicles to fill all the orders.

Further to the denial of "most of this" by Mr X who works at the Corporate HO of Toyota NZ, it is in fact near exactly what my son recalls being said when he attended the staff training day on them. So it looks like Cambo has had a real raw deal.

We're only getting 2 engine choices. A 2.8 turbo diesel and a 2.7 petrol.
Diesel will have all the latest euro emission crap attached to meet the latest world emission laws. But it is supposed to output more grunt than the currant Hilux.
And Toyota have finally woken up and used a trans with more than 4 gears from the 80's.

Small high output diesels have been around a long time already in Europe. very reliable.
capacity has no bearing on reliability at all, if you new diesel shits itself 90 percent it will be a electronic fault.

From Wiki



The 1GD-FTV is a 2.8L (2755cc) straight-4 common rail diesel engine with a variable geometry turbocharger and Intercooler. It has 16 valves and a DOHC (double overhead camshaft) design. Its compression ratio is 15.6:1. Bore x stroke is 92.0 mm x 103.6 mm. It generates 177 horsepower (132 kW) at 3400 rpm, and 450 newton metres (330 lbf·ft) of torque at 1400-2600 rpm when mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission, depending on target market and emission specifications. With manual transmission, outputs are 177 horsepower (132 kW) and 420 newton metres (310 lbf·ft).[citation needed] Average fuel consumption (in JC08 method) is 11.2 km/l.[2]

This engine was first used in Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, second generation Toyota Fortuner and eighth generation Toyota Hilux.

And why the hell does New Zealand miss out on the 178Kw V6 Petrol!!! TNZ pull your head out!
