Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Discussion
- Thread starter Carmaker1
- Start date
TFL released a video from their trip to Cruise Moab. In it they talk to Mike, who is in charge of Toyota R&D North America. They discuss the 70 series a couple times in the video, and I found Mike’s discussion regarding the 70 series intriguing.
The discussion starts around 28:30. First he says, “it doesn’t meet emissions”, then he goes on to say, “never say never” and “there’s ways…my dream is to offer a 70 series”. Mike brings up the 70 series again around 36:30 “There’s always possibilities”. 🤔
I’d be surprised if we see the 70 series in the U.S., but the discussion sure was interesting.

Sort of OT, but the late Kobe Bryant owned a 80 Series during his early days of balling

As I said earlier new V8 4.0l , new I6 3.0l , new I4 2.0l and new I4 1.5l
Those are the 4 next generation engines for the next decade of 20 years coming

I hope you're right about the 3.0 I6. A stroked version (3.5L-3.6L) would be ideal for BOF applications too, especially if Toyota kept it simple with a single turbo and an air-air intercooler. If Toyota offered a new Tundra with a turbo inline 6, I may very likely pick one up. I have no interest in the current Tundra.
