Default Re: The Thailand Special Thread - New Developments/News

I doubt Toyota would use their new 3.3L V6 in the Hilux, mostly because they're the white goods queens happy to rest on their laurels.

I think they'll continue to leverage their fleet model dominance, their efforts with the Hilux upper models has been stuff like lame sticker packs asnd they made a backwards step in the current model Hilux when they went to the 2.4L and 2.8L diesels which are turds rolled in glitter.

The 3.3L V6 is still lame in the 300 series - 227KW, its up like 30KW and 50NM on the outgoing 4.5L ancient turd they use.

If they wanted to compete with the Raptor then they should be investigating using the 3UR-FE in the Hilux, it would give them a USP but I don't think they have the balls to do it.
