Toyota Diesel ---- Will They Ever?
Very impressed w/wifes Toyota Sequoia. Reckon Toyota will ever come out with a diesel tow vehicle? I know they were planning to about 9 years ago but got scared off by our economy.

I doubt Toyota will be bringing a diesel from overseas other than its Hino powered ones in the COE's. The emission equipment is becoming too expensive to sell a vehicle optioned with a diesel when there is a gasoline engine available that can do the job.
I would like see more 4-5 liter diesels in Class 2 trucks and leave the largest ones for the Class 3 and larger models. My 6 liter diesel had more power than my Class 2b truck needed and I only chose it because the 7 liter gasser of that time would have been expensive to run and have a short range on a tank of gas.
The 3 liter diesels in Class 1 and 2a trucks seems to be a good combination, but I could see a 4 liter being a better fit for those towing at the upper limits of this segment.
