No push button start looking at column

Personally not bothered. That's not sr5 though cause it's got normal ac controls too.

[MLTZER]

I actually thought the 2.8 looks pretty good on paper.... 450nm sounds good to me

I really hope it doesn't have push button start! If they made a current model hilux with more power and the one or two common faults were rectified it would be the best ute ever! It is still the best looking ute on the market.

Funny thats what my main thought was aswell. How does the power specs etc compare to the current D4D (sorry for a silly question)

current is 126kws and 343 nm of torque

new is 132kws and 450nm of torque for the auto and 420nm for the manual

Thanks mate,

Plenty of torque improvement, I guess we just really wont know until someone drives it. The waiting game.

well if it helps to get a comparison, I just bought a 2014 ford ranger manual 3.2litre. It has 147kws and 470nm of torque and coming from my hilux the difference is massive!! Hills that I would need to change down a gear to get up simply cruises up and actual accelerates

[hylux]

Reading the spec sheet thats on carsguide I think I can interpret

2.8TD Maunal 177kw and 420Nm in rev range 1400-2600
2.8TD Auto 177kw/ and 450Nm in rev range 1600-2400
Also
LED day time running lights
70 ltr fuel tank
and I think HID headlights
But this could be asia spec

[Gipsy]

Sure hope the 2.8td is not just a re-badged Colorado powerplant!! I do smell a rat... see the toyota/Subaru powerplant in the sporty '86. Why oh why not a v6 diesel like the jeep 3.0... with Toyota's reliability thrown in. The jeep (yuck) powerplant is a good one and if Toyota were to adopt this technology and add their reliability I would consider a trade-up.

hylux, I think you are getting 177PS and kws mixed up. As seen in the link below they state

"A 2.4-liter turbocharged diesel delivering 150PS (148hp) and 167PS (165hp), a 2.8-liter turbodiesel with 177PS (175hp) and a 2.7-liter naturally-aspirated gasoline four-pot producing 166PS (164hp)."

in one of the pictures down the bottom it appears to state the kws and nm in both manual and auto configuration

[jimO]

177 kw would be good, 132 not so good, who is going to be first to buy one? i had the first 05 in our town doubt i will get a new one for a while, see how they go first

I see a lot of design cues (interior wise) from the 2016 Tacoma

[jcarter]

Dunno, gonna put it out there that I'm bot sold on the puffy wheel arch panels, the door panels look like very little change to the current model then just ridiculous puffy front and rear arches, similar to the new Nissan but even bigger.

[bob14hilux]

I'm not sure I like the look of them.

Would like to see one with a bullbar etc.
