    Tested in the video below… there are several of these tests out there already (e.g. Ronnie Dahl) and they are all concluding the same, which is that the 4-cyl auto is not struggling at all compared to the V8 as most punters assume it would. In pretty much all the tests that I have watched so far, the 4-cyl has “won”. Having done a decent amount of hard yakka km in the 2.8 4-cyl, and many years working with the V8 here and in Aus, I kinda knew that would be the case. I simply have not experienced a performance deficit in the 4-cyl.

    Bottom line is that there’s a lot of assumptions being made by fans of older, bigger engines, but the tech advances look like they have won the day and the small engine has superior metrics. I don’t buy the argument that the smaller engine will wear excessively. Toyota aren’t that dumb! Anyway, we will have forgotten all about this debate in a few years time because the V8 is on a 1-way ticket to retirement and before you know it to 2.8 will be the new normal.
