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.

Only place where their seems a retreat from diesel is the US, but even in the US new diesels have been introduced
Just because *some* OEM's are introducing what customers are foolishly demanding (and the fade is declining) does not tell the whole story.
Owners soon experience the cost of ownership is high and reliability is low.
Towing with the bigger pickup truck diesels is still the best experience hands down, but owners pay to play up front AND long term.
Not relevant outside the US. All Commercial vehicles and Pickups are diesel. Gas engines died in the late 1960's for Pickups and Trucks, US is by itself in this regard, as well as the one of the last holdouts of conventional trucks.Customers " are foolishly " demanding more and more diesels and the OEM's are providing them.
