Mitch D and the work experience guy (The Stig) take two of our 79 series out to the test track to settle the age-old question: V8 vs 4 Cylinder. Who will come out on top? 🚙💨

2.8 standard without any engine mods is great but personally I think Toyota should have put the 300 series engine and transmission into 79 series, lot of people now say that 79 series is just another expensive 106 hilux now with a 2.8 motor

No they wont, so you go and buy the hybrid v6 tacoma that is being released. They will be a flop, as people prefer the RAMs, silverados and F250, because if you have that kin of money you wont that V8 or big diesel taste and smell. The new CEO wants more electrification and hybrids so thats the way toyota is heading even the new, the new SE concept was just released to to prove that. We might be lucky and get a GR version with a single turbo V6 diesel, so hold your cash till that happens.

seriously, that "comparisation" is just useless. You should compare two unmodified vehicles or two vehicles with identical mods...

@superiorengineering Ай бұрын

Well the comparison is the fact that the highly modified V8 isn’t much better than a factory 2.8 if the v8 was factory it would be a very sad look for it.

@@MR-hu1bx Not sure why you'd let other peoples actions that don't directly effect you do your head in but ok. I would say that people that have purchased the 1VD in the 200 and 70 series because that was the only engine available not because they want to think they're hero's but if someone did what does that matter to you? the 1GD has only recently been released in the 70 series and if you want a 300 you're stuck with the v6, at the very least people have an option with the 70s platform or had I should say (moving forward if you want a v8 you'll just have to get a 2nd hand one).

Not sure why the comment section is so mad. If you want a v8 you can and will still get low kms examples for awhile to come and if you like the 2.8 good news you can still order them brand new and they're coming with a manual transmission soon. I don't get what all the hate is about. up until recently you could only get the 70 platform in a v8, you didn't have a choice and now you do. I would imagine most people in the market for such a vehicle aren't 12 years old where its important they're dad can beat up your dad or they're toys are better than yours. Grow up.

I agree. The 1KD had a reputation for cracking pistons when working hard and although the 1GD is meant to be better, I’ve heard they still can crack pistons when worked hard. Obviously the 70 series is heavier and less slippery through the air than the Hilux and Prado and people use them generally for heavier towing so time will tell if they do this long term reliably. There’s a lot of stress being spread among those 4 pistons as compared to the 8 in the V8.
