Thread: Toyota announced big Landcruiser spec change & price drops in USA

It's one of the reasons our supplies of anything with the 2.8 engine have gone backwards so I'm told, the Aussies are trying to push customers who have paid a deposit for the V8 cruiser onto either a hilux or the 2.8 version as they just can't confirm what Toyota will be sending them. They've pushed orders back in Aus and still can't confirm delivery dates, and are trying to get as many 2.8 versions as they can (same as everyone else). Fun times...

2.8 isn't a terrible engine, but the main issue with it is the same as everything else with a tiny donkey - just not as polished with heavy towing and heavy loads. That's why people are waiting and hoping for the v8's...
