Snailracing Member 51 Member For: 21y 3m 7d Posted 31/01/07 08:27 AM Share Posted 31/01/07 08:27 AM Snail, you need to get a Territory with the SNAIL bolted tothe side of the 4lt motor....aka a Turbo Territory.It will pull your caravan like it was not there, but it will drink the fuel, but it would be fun blowing the doors off a V6 commie while towing a caravan ←Your don't need a TT for doing that! My mate was towing his caravan in my old ute, and he passed a VR Clubsport and a Nissan Primera going up hill!F'N big caravan too, and that was only a OHC EF engine that we had turboed!

Posted 31/01/07 10:04 AM Share Posted 31/01/07 10:04 AM Launches like this normally coincide with a major Motor Show (Melbourne or Sydney). As there doesn't appear to be any Terry's running around with a diesel at the moment my best guess would be they will launch the diesel Terry at the Sydney Motor show in Oct..

Discovery, and then trade it when it has 150,000 on it for a new model..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrunks Member 665 Member For: 20y 7m 15d Location: Gold Coast Posted 07/02/07 01:23 PM Share Posted 07/02/07 01:23 PM Wait for the new 200 Series Landcruiser if you want a real 4wd!Twin turbo 4.5 Litre V8 Commonrail diesel punching out 650Nm of torque!And that's untouched with Emission controls restricting the hell out of it!Then you'll see what tows a caravan & over takes up hills & will be 10 times safer than any Falcon or Territory towing!

They're a pain in the arse IMO. My mates and I have had our fair share of problems with them. Landcruiser still do not have compressed fuel injection and probably for a reason. If you are going around australia I definately believe you should stay away from common rail engines. They cost a fortune to fix and can be waiting on parts. My 2 cents.

thebrunks Member 665 Member For: 20y 7m 15d Location: Gold Coast Posted 07/02/07 02:47 PM Share Posted 07/02/07 02:47 PM That's like any new technology!Altough Toyota have a huge dealer network around Australia, especially seeing as they supply a lot of Commercial vehicles to Farmers, miners etc. etc..Common rail is just a new technology, like EFI was, I doubt there would be a great deal of issues from Toyota!And as for parts, all diesel engine costs more than petrol. Especially the complex fuel systems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
