2016 Toyota Hilux Diesel is one Tough Cookie – Forbidden Fruit [Gallery] - The Fast Lane
The Toyota Hilux has built up a tough truck reputation over its 47 year history. The beginner diesel is a 2. 4-liter unit that is capable of 295 lb-ft of torque, while the bigger 2. 8-liter four-cylinder can apply 331. 9 lb-ft of twist. Toyota claims a 10% fuel efficiency improvement over the previous generation engines. The bigger diesel could be a worthy motor for the American market, so that the Tacoma can do battle against the GM 2. 8-liter Duramax. The gasoline engine lineup includes a 2. 7-liter four and the 4. 0-liter V6. However, the really impressive numbers come courtesy of the maximum towing and payload ratings. Could the 2016 Toyota Tacoma manage the same. Again, your Hilux will have to be properly equipped for maximum weight. The next generation Hilux should go on sale in October of 2015 with many other interior and equipment improvements. Check out the 2015 Toyota Tacoma V6 tackle the Ike Gauntlet extreme towing test with 5,600 lbs in tow. In addition to the overall major changes to both trucks, the two diesels overseas and the new gas powered V6 state side will/are game changers. Source: www.tfltruck.com
