2.8 vs 4.5 is all round better
@courtneymccagh38156 күн бұрын
Gday guys. If the electronic adjustment fails is there an ability to adjust them manually? Also if the electrics fail is it then stuck on the current setting? Why isn’t there also rebound Adjustability Cheers
@superiorengineering6 күн бұрын
So you would be stuck with the current setting until the system is fixed. The shocks are rebound adjustable from a manual adjuster on the shock shaft. The rebound cannot be run through electronically due to its position.

you buy the v8 to drive it 1 000 000 km's, let's see how the 2.8 goes in 15-20 years.

I agree. The 1KD had a reputation for cracking pistons when working hard and although the 1GD is meant to be better, I’ve heard they still can crack pistons when worked hard. Obviously the 70 series is heavier and less slippery through the air than the Hilux and Prado and people use them generally for heavier towing so time will tell if they do this long term reliably. There’s a lot of stress being spread among those 4 pistons as compared to the 8 in the V8.

Not sure why the comment section is so mad. If you want a v8 you can and will still get low kms examples for awhile to come and if you like the 2.8 good news you can still order them brand new and they're coming with a manual transmission soon. I don't get what all the hate is about. up until recently you could only get the 70 platform in a v8, you didn't have a choice and now you do. I would imagine most people in the market for such a vehicle aren't 12 years old where its important they're dad can beat up your dad or they're toys are better than yours. Grow up.

I would say that people that have purchased the 1VD in the 200 and 70 series because that was the only engine available not because they want to think they're hero's but if someone did what does that matter to you? the 1GD has only recently been released in the 70 series and if you want a 300 you're stuck with the v6, at the very least people have an option with the 70s platform or had I should say (moving forward if you want a v8 you'll just have to get a 2nd hand one). You're like that vegan that cant stand the guy next to him enjoying a meat pie.

No they wont, so you go and buy the hybrid v6 tacoma that is being released. They will be a flop, as people prefer the RAMs, silverados and F250, because if you have that kin of money you wont that V8 or big diesel taste and smell. The new CEO wants more electrification and hybrids so thats the way toyota is heading even the new, the new SE concept was just released to to prove that. We might be lucky and get a GR version with a single turbo V6 diesel, so hold your cash till that happens.

Good luck with the inter granular corrosion on the 7075. It’s gifted me 1000s of hours of overtime over the last 20 years repairing aircraft fittings made from this. Yes it’s strong but being zinc based the slightest scratch to any surface treatment or paint that makes it through to the parent ally will start inter granular corrosion. Once it starts it’s very hard to stop and typically requires replacement. Anyway the suspension on a 4x4 would never get scratched to you should be right 👌
