Tundra 3.0 diesel

I hope toyota reads this, because the 3.0 turbocharged diesel from Italy used in the ram would be a outstanding engine. We don,t need another Cummins powered diesel with 500 ft. lbs. of toque. I am ready to buy a tundra with the 3.0 liter turbocharged diesel. Wake up toyota your the last to not have a diesel!

 

Welcome from CO. Post pics of your ride Gary. Thanks!

 

You mean the 3.0 diesel that is being investigated for having 20 times the legal limit of emissions?

Bienvenidos de Tejas! Post pics of your ride cuz....

 

I agree that Toyota should make a "Tundra" with a diesel option. However if they do make a Tundra with the diesel option I think it should be a 'HD' version. Perhaps it could be a 3/4 or 1 ton truck. However the 3.0 Diesel that Ram uses, would not be near my first choice of motor for it. It is strange, Toyota actually has many diesel options available on its foreign vehicles but the opt to not use them in the US/Canada. I am guessing this has something to do with emissions regulations and the hoops you have to jump through. I am betting the Tundras would get much better fuel mileage with an appropriately-sized diesel motor.

So it has been confirmed that Chevrolet will be making a Diesel Silverado 1500 for 2019. Ford, of course, is doing the same thing in 2018. I am betting Toyota will not do it, unfortunately. If they do I will be greatly surprised!

 

It is extremely difficult to produce a diesel automobile in the U.S., even more so for really light vehicles. The rules and regulations are constantly changing in the U.S. Gas engines are much simpler and weigh a lot less anyway. The initial cost is also a lot lower - you can buy a lot of gas for the $10,000 it takes to get a diesel option. Unless I needed to consistently tow over 12,000 lbs I would have no desire to deal with a diesel truck.

This is a perfect example of how the EPA is making it extremely difficult to produce diesel trucks. Even if emissions systems are disabled during certain malfunctions or for a few short minutes the EPA considers it a major violation. The people who roll coal on other motorists aren't exactly helping out either.

Welcome from

It's not a Toyota if it's not a Toyota diesel in it. If it's not a Diesel engine from Toyota what's the point.

 

For the record, I like diesel. The EPA would make me very very nervous to make one though if I were in charge of Toyota. Toyota banks on it's reliability as well as their image. Rolling the dice on an extremely complicated Diesel engine that satisfies the EPA's absurd requirements seems very un-toyota.

 

Ya exactly.

 

Toyota has been making bullet-proof diesels for years. They wouldn't have to second source it. Its all about emissions and regulations.

 

Toyota Hilux is a well known 3.0 Diesel truck in the whole world except United States. It's one of the toughest truck that is actually built to last (not Ford). I don't know why Toyota is hesitant to bring Diesel here. From Tacoma to Tundra, 3/4 or 1 Ton Diesel can basically introduce the full line of Toyota Trucks here in US and it will easily eat cut into Domestic line of trucks.

 

If I were the guy in charge at Toyota, I'd only want to bring a diesel to market if it was it was a 3/4 or 1 ton. You're only going to capture so much of the market with a diesel 1/2 ton, but with an HD diesel the sky's the limit.

Also, idk why everyone keeps asking this question. If you've ever had to deal with the DEF codes and problems that come along with Tier 4 diesels, you'd know that diesel vehicles can be a royal pain in the ass when things go wrong.

 

Here we go again.

 

No kidding. Look at how many issues the big 3 have with their diesels, and it almost always ties back to the emissions crap that they are required to have.

 

I will just do a Diesel conversion my self one day.

 

The niche for a half ton diesel is way to small from a wise investment standpoint for an automaker.

Before I bought my tundra last fall I considered the ram ecodiesel. I read "all over the internet"' of problems and potential problems with it. But also have a friend of a friend that owns one and tows 7500-8000# regularly. Zero issues from my understanding. He loves his. 28+mpg unloaded, 22-25mpg loaded. That's very appealing if you own a small contracting company (or something) and are always pulling around a trailer in town and can maintain 20+ mpgs when fully loaded up.

I am not nor will I be in that demographic. I very infrequently pull 5500# short distances (boat). The mpg sting isn't significant for me. And the tundra has plenty of ass to pull that. The issues I read with the ram ED steered me away too.

It would only make sense for an automaker to get into the ¾ ton 1 ton diesel market. Tough nut to crack though. Especially when your first iteration of a full size truck was only considered ⅞ of full-size (until 2nd gen was released). And knowing Toyota- the motor would have to be perfect which may be impossible considering emissions laws.

Also,

 

Go for it. I'm all for a diesel tundra!

But to wait on Toyota to build one and put it in mass production....not gonna happen anytime soon! LOL

(No matter how many threads are made about it!)

 

Slap an isuzu diesel enginel..isuzu engines are one of the best in the world.. And is Japanese..if it used by Dodge it is not worth it..

 

Yuuuup. I swear there are several threads on this. Everyone thinks they are the only ones that thought of it. I'm over here just waiting and watching Toyotas next move and to reply back to every Tundra/Tacoma diesel thread ...

 

I had a family member who may rip..who in 1982 said watch Toyota come out with a v8..and everyone thought this man had lost his marbles..

 

Hey look everybody, I found a Toyota diezul truck. This isn't some shitbox Dodge/Ram either, it's the real deal! Behold, the Hino 338 Medium Duty Truck:

 

Imagine Iron Man begging for the v8 back in the day. The amount of more wins.... Legend! Now Baldwin will take the lead. Go Toyota

 

This is one of the most badass videos I have seen in a while!

 

Man, I bet if we did a subject count on every thread title....diesel would come out on top right behind size tire and offset threads! LOL
I can't tell you how many diesel threads I've seen in the 1+ years I've been a part of this forum!

 

I'm pretty certain that the OP is a troll who isn't coming back. Might as well leave these here:

The rear diff in your 2nd/3rd gen Tundra is a Hino.

 

Nothing new.. hino has been in America for a long time since 1984 I believe.. Almost all made here in USA..

 

Hahaha... so uhhh how many many inches of lift do I need to fit 35's?
