I was going to keep this one for a while but a V8.............Look out that would be awesome.

Wonder what the cost will be probably up around the Prado pricing....... Friggin expensive

I'm with ya on that Helmut. I was planning on keeping this one for a while cos I don't have the pesky traction control or stability control nonsense like the new one's but having v8 in one would make a sooner rather than later trade-in inevitable. Can't wait to see some specs on it.

Hilux is definately getting a upgrade later in the year but i think the V8 might be a long shot!

Wont happen I can guarantee you of that. ;)

even if argentina builds it it wont find its way to australia other than a display spot at a motor show.

would be good to beleive it but remember...the 70 series landcruiser needed their chassis widened to fit the V8 and that already is a bigger truck than the hilux.

wishful thinking. They'd be better off bringing the tundra in :roll:

Guys,

Id say Dream on, its not going to happen at least until late 2012 early 2013 when the new shape comes out.... The engineering / brakes / gearbox / driveline and R & D and so forth take months even over a year to perfect.

your source is dead wrong ! , pfffft v8 Diesal ! yeah right ! 200 series v8 diesal wont even get close to fitting in a LUX !

All AUS Market Hiluxs come from Thailand......

Unless i see pics its Fiction, one of my very good mates , manages the Factory in Thailand, so what he tells me i know is Factual.
