Toyota hints that a diesel 4Runner may be coming

Pretty big power play if they put a diesel. in it. Offroaders would go nuts

Update Jalopnik, posted an update from Toyota basically saying Hell to the Nah

Of course they would say no. Perhaps it's nothing. Or maybe something

Toyota hasn't done any diesels here yet, I doubt they'll bring one now. A hybrid is more likely if they're looking for alternate full ICE powertrains.

When asked:
Toyota denies plans to bring this or other diesel engines to the U.S. market, saying “diesel is presently not part of our strategy for North America. We are still bullish on conventional engines, hybrids and fuel cell technology.”

Don't see the update. :uh: Anyhow...here is what appears to be the correction:

Could you just imagine what the lifespan of a diesel 4Runner would be? Heck, the gas versions typically last 300K or more. Local Toyota dealerships, here, sell them used, right out the door, (with a dealer-warranty) with 175K on them.

As Bit says...diesel is dead in the USA....good riddance!

So why would Toyota release such an image? Even by error. How does Toyota get the RPM rating wrong. ?

Yes please! I would order one tomorrow to replace my wife's civic.

I think you need to Tweet ToyotaCA about all these shortcomings, including the divider switch. Maybe they`ll add you on to the focus groups on design and PR rollout. Cant hurt to have a another opinion on stuff

Because it'll go to markets outside of North America

Good idea, thought of that, originally thought it was a Prado mistake, but

What market uses MPH still?

Allen K 02-09-19 07:07 PM
^Good call, bad photoshop by Toyota :p

Actually there are a few markets that use MPH still, in the middle east, and in parts of indonesia, as well as some parts of europe i believe.

I take it that the U.S. Army uses MPH all over the world for their vehicles? :uh:
