You'd get 400+ out of a 2.8 easily if you service it properly, did the injectors every 100 and took care of it. I certainly wouldn't expect it to tow a 3t van around Oz though and last. The other side of the coin is, when the V8 fails eventually, rebuilding one is ridiculously expensive Vs the 2.8
it a no brainer the 2.8 towing 3tonne everyday all day is not going to last go research ya Toyota fine print .they are not designed for that purpose it's still a small 4cyl diesel yeh with just a 6 speed box . Yes. From the start it goes hard but will not for the way the Aussies load them up tow Up hills outback etc etc bigger will always F##k small it's math ! 😊@@BackChat
2.8 has more benefits over 4.5. Remap the 2.8 as they get a heap of power out of them and drive beautifully with the auto. When 2.8 blows up buy a new engine and away you go again for another 400k. 4.5 is a dinosaur these days and so slow with the manual box. I’ve accepted this and have moved on to the 2.8 after owning the 4.5.
Wait and see what is going to happen with all this 4 and six cylinder 1,2 or 4 turbo engines after 10-15 years if they make 500k km not to mention modifications on top of it.Already in America v6 turbo tundra is having engines failure,Range Rovers,Hilux to and on.How on earth can someone explain a 4 cylinder engine witch most are going to be with this days all those turbo's power compression can handle this and last 20-30 years.
Dude, people have been saying this about engines for at least the last 40 years that I have been owning them. In my experience, they just keep getting better. Having said that, I would not trust any new diesel motor, way too many sensors and add on gizmos. I’ve switched to petrol.
Ineos owner here. Nearing 50k km, very satisfed

Smart people
If I had the money the Ineos would be my pick, unique and looks just amazing.
Ineos is unique
More grenadier chat please👍

Question for Ronny, would he still trust/ like the 2.8 in a 79? Being that you can load them up more and they are a bit bigger?
Good question!
Wonder if they will do the v6 option in the cruisers ?
There is a V6 petrol engine in some markets about the world
Doubtful

Ah you are correct! How interesting
What about the lump on the drivers footwell ?
What about the other lump - when you actually get to drive it.
What's the long jeopardy of the 2.8 compared to the v8 I'll keep my v8 thanks

Longevity of the 2.8 is an interesting question

That's a good point mate
The Cummins 5L diesel would make a lot of sense in something this size. Nissan has abandoned it, so it is available for other manufacturers.
I like my dinosaur. What should I do then😂
If you will be able to still buy an engin in the next few years 😉
No respect for Ronnie 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂 Lots of love for Ronny

Plenty of the 2.8s over the 400k mark already with no issues
