I live in the dominican republic were these engines have been available for over 30 years, and I can tell you there much more efficient and reliable than the petrol ones, but there not very environmental friendly though. It will sure gonna help our imports. It was about time!!!

The diesel Landcruiser is the beat tow vehicle that I have ever used. Toyota please note.

Where do I sign?! How come Toyota is so slow bringing their diesel technology to North America? They've had diesel HiLux trucks all over the world for as long as they've been making trucks! They can't be that dirty. I would pay upfront now for a diesel Tacoma/Tundra 4X4 TRD. Where do I sign?! How come Toyota is so slow bringing their diesel technology to North America?

What I REALLY need is a small engine high efficiency Diesel Tacoma. Something that makes at least 200 hp and 260 torque. Make that and I'm sold for teh next 5 iterations. I would even take it in a 4Runner. I agree whole heartedly with DT. What I REALLY need is a small engine high efficiency Diesel Tacoma. Something that makes at least 200 hp and 260 torque.

The rest of the world is using and appreciating the strength, reliability, and economy of a light diesel truck but here we are. I hope there will be a truck with simple trim available. Not just one for the high end purchaser. I need a diesel, five or six speed manual, and basic add ons. PLEASE get it right. Stop making Transformer trucks. We need practicallity. Look at what you offered folks in Australia or Brazil over the years. Very nice and useful. Thank you. It’s about time.

In today's market, auto companies should be pushing fuel economy rather than H.P. The older Cummins 5.9 6BT were good for low 20's mpg. These were detuned and had lower power ratings then their commercial brothers, but had plenty of power for pulling the horse trailer, boat, or camper. The Cummins 3.9 4BT (6BT with 2 cylinders lopped off) had even better efficiency but were only offered to the Mail Trucks. MB/Freightliner has sold alot of the 2.5l 5cyl diesel vans. I'd love to own a Diesel Tundra, but within reason. I'm not going to spend 50k for a 8.0 liter Diesel for pulling my backhoes. That's what the larger commercial dumps are for. I've read that Toyota has entered into an agreement with Catapillar for diesel engines. I don't know how true this is, but hopefully if one of those goes into a Tundra the frontend won't be so heavy you can't put a plow on it. This is a major problem of all the newer, larger, heavier diesels offered by Ford, Dodge, and GM. Too much weight over the front wheels, snow plow voids warranty. Be nice to have a 1 ton Diesel Tundra for 42-45k that gets mid to high 20's mpg with just 450-500ft.lbs. of low rpm torque that one can put a plow on. I’m with DT.
