I understand the Toyota "Tundra" is now equipped with a Cummins diesel.
Kid has a '17 Dodge 1500 w/"Eco- diesel". Super mileage, a great ride and plenty of pep.
I'm still driving my '01 Dodge 3500 w/Cummins! +400K miles and still getting 17 mpg! Negative - Toyota doesn't offer that. Nissan does tho.

Didn’t they put a diesel in Jeeps recently? Yes they did. I just took delivery of a 2022 Wrangler with a 3.0 eco diesel. It's a 180c.i. V-6 with 240 hp and 440 ft lbs of torque. Runs like a raped ape.... and gets 29mpg

OP
i owned a diesel yotar in nzed. lusted after one for ages. put almost 60k's on it.
when i came home i went straight to a Toyota t100 with the v6 and long bed.
while i respect what diesels can do in certain scenarios, i'll take a 3.4 v6 for anything i want a "small" truck to do here in the states.
best friend has a land cruiser with the non turbo'd.. right side drive. came from Oz with 400ks on it.

If a manual was available I would have ordered it that way It does have roll up windows tho

some of us wouldnt drive a toyota if they were free. there are still a few real americans left. So what do you drive? A made in Canada Chevy, or a made in Mexico Ford, rather than a made in America Toyota?

When I was in Afghanistan we had some Ford 4 door Ranger pickups. They had a 4 cylinder diesel engine in them. The Border Patrol was issued them. They were some tough little vehicles and the engines were plenty torquey. It's my understanding they came from India. Unfortunately they are not clean enough to run in America. I wish we could get them here. I wouldn't want the 4 door Ranger but it would be nice to have the 2 door with that engine. We could if we could out vote the environmental wackos.

The irony is all the auto makers are publicly traded companies, so there really is no such thing as an American car anymore...

Hilux in New Zealand first time in 1986. immediate reaction: holy wowzer what a great truck. and double cab short box. mine company trucks.....
the answer to so many questions: why has toyota NOT done this? it is either politics or eco-extremism. which are really about the same thing.
anyway there is a company in business to supply such to the mining industry for underground use. no gas engines underground due safety. some suggest diesel not much better, but that aside, diesel changovers for 45 K or so. also must be upgraded to meet MSHA safety rules...... like the old mules underground, these do not resurface for a bunch of reasons. I asked Toyota this after a trip to Costa Rica, the answer was EPA....

The question remains. Does anyone import the HiLux or LC diesel powerplant? Would Customs let you bring one over the border?
Once the engine is here, nobody knows or cares what is under the hood of my rig. Google JDM imported half cuts. You get everything you need, except the resale value. What rig are you thinking about diesel swapping? I am just spitballing. I would like to get for Momma the best lowest milage LC, Lexus, or possibly Sequoyia I can get for $40K about this time next year. A diesel would be even more desirable. One of the most fun conversions we did was pull a rotary out of a Mazda Sport Truck and drop a 20R into it from a Toyota. All the sudden, the little truck had some bottom end and lugging ability. But it lost some top end.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

some of us wouldnt drive a toyota if they were free. there are still a few real americans left. Just curious... Would you rather have: > A Toyota Tundra made in San Antonio TX? Or a Dodge Ram heche en Mexico? > A Toyota Corolla made in Blue Springs MS? Or a Chevy Aveo made in South Korea? > A Toyota Camry made in Georgetown KY? Or a Ford Mustang that does not have enough U.S. content to be labeled "Made In America"? The single largest cost going into the manufacture of a vehicle is Labor $$$'s. I will support the companies that spend their Labor $$$'s on the American worker... The immediate fall back when American built is mentioned. Toy-Boys are like Libs in their fervor and their Stepford-like programmed response. MY Toyota is 71.35787% American built........... Just own it. You like Japanese cars. The most fervent Toy-Boys? They have discussions concerning how Japanese built Toyota's are better than American built ones. Some, seek out the imported models exclusively.
