Maximum Torque 430Nm at 1200-3200rpm

Engine 2.8 Litre Turbo
Cylinders & Arrangement 4 Cylinder, 16 Valve Double Overhead Cam
Maximum Power 150kW at 3000-3400rpm
Maximum Torque 500Nm at 1600-2800rpm

The Manual Hilux isn't far behind the V8 70 Series ?
Maximum Power 150kW at 3400rpm
Maximum Torque 420Nm at 1400-3400rpm

Auto GR Hilux 2.8 has way more grunt
Maximum Power 165kW at 3000rpm
Maximum Torque 550Nm at 1600-2800rpm

I guess one engine will do 500000 Kms + and the other not so much ????

Very detuned stock engine in the cruiser, also very easy to get a lot of power from.
We tow some heavy gear all around with ours, 3.5 tons plus it's pumping 600nm and there not much that slows it down.
