Why dont we get this engine?

Toyota 1VD-FTE

Single turbo, long life 4.5 liter diesel V8: 202 hp @ 3400, 317 ft-lbs from 1200-3200

Twin turbo high power 4.5 liter diesel V8: 261 hp @ 3400, 479 ft-lbs from 1600-2600

20 mpg in the ancient 70 series and 23 mpg in the 200 series land cruiser.

Can you imagine this in a Tunrda? seriously, put the single turbo in the Land cruiser 200 and the twin turbo in the tundra/LX570/sequoia.

btw - I know why we don't get it here, but it couldn't be that far off our emissions targets or that difficult to get it there. Its clean as a whistle as far as I can see.

They should bring it here, I'm sure it is in Canada already. Imagine a Lexus LS with it since it already weighs more than some trucks.

Exceeds Toyota USA's standards of dullness.

a few of the 200 series with these had oil consumption issues, it's really tarnished the engine's image in Australia.

It's beautiful...I wonder how much it would cost to import? If a 5.9 cummins will fit under the hood of a 2nd gen 4Runner, this sure will.
