Future 4Runner

[bcc101]

While at the dealer the other day with my 2004 Sport I looked at a 2012 just to see.
While conversing with the salesman I mentioned it would be nice if Toyota would make a 4Runner with a diesel.

He said that is in the works. Apparently BMW and Toyota are woking together on both hybrid and diesel power.

Has anyone else heard this or is it a tale?

Thanks ,Bruce

I'd love a turbo diesel 4runner. LOL, find a nice 7.3 turbo diesel from an F-250, and custom fit it to a 4runner would be the ****.

The Toyota/BMW alliance was only announced on June 29th. I don't think enough time has passed to already have firm plans for anything yet.

Never believe car salesmen...

I don't think you will find BMW engines in our Toyota's. Toyota has worked with a lot of companies on hybrid technology.

If only they would offer the twin turbo 35i engine on some Toyota models!!!

Pshh why would you want a powerchoke? Go with the best diesel engine out there a cummins! A nice 5.9 straight piped in a lifted 3rd get would be so sick!

Eh. The 7.3 was and is still an indestructable work of art. I wish they'd bring it back. & its the Ford diesel going into.the new military vehicles.

The 7.3 is powerstrokes is a good diesel engine bit it still is not the best engine, it's clearly a cummins, if the cummins isn't better then why are so many ford owners doing a cummins swap into their ford? I've never herd of a power stroke replacing a cummins in a dodge. Hence ford owners wanting the best diesel engine, the cummins

Cause the 6.0 was honestly **** we are a bit off topic!
