Hino *hybride* 240pk diesel in new Toyota fullsize pickup (USA)

[posted and mailed]

A kewl way to burn rice....)


From the DTLC-list:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I just got off the phone with my secret info source at Toyota and got a
little insider information about Toyota's plans for the new huge versions
of their Full size pickup. For those who don't know, its being built in
Texas and will be configured bigger than the full size crowd. Crew cabs,
3/4 and one ton capacity etc. Toyota is saying that if you're going to
build a pickup you better do it in Texas where some large percentage of
the world market for pickup trucks is.

Anyway all of that is common knowledge but the nagging question that has
been unanswered so far is what will they power these trucks with? The hot
rumour is that they will be using the 240HP diesel/electric hybrid that
HINO is using in Japan! With the success of their tiny hybrid car Toyota
is looking to please both the red neck and the eco crowds. The goal is to
have the highest fuel economy of any full size with similar performance.

Looking forward to seeing it.

ya i have a toyota to. it has a 4ft ground clearence. i just got done
putting a 450 big block in it. it sounds impossible but i did it. it
took me 3 months. i cant wait to take it out and go in the mud with it.
it is all custom. the truck is black with red fireflames. i have neon
lights on it so when night time comes the hole cab glows lime green.

I've heard rumors that Honda is also looking at put the a gas/electric
hybrid in their new pickup truck and the next redesign of the NSX.
Maybe OPEC better start investing in gold or silver

Since nobody got my hint of the Google-URL, I digged further myself....)

Btw, anyone know which type of Hino diesel this might be?
Through Hino Australia I see the J08C engine, with various output,
but none exactly 180kW (which would equal 240hp (factor 1.3333)).
Nonetheless, a torque-figure of 608/706/745Nm (447/520/548ft-lbs
(factor 1.36)) ain't bad....)
(with 158/173/191kW, or 210/231/255hp)

http://www.hino.com.au/tk/tk_sub_pe.htm

J08C being 8 liter?....)
(not much data there, but either J05C or J08C is an inline-6)

But 6- and 9-speed manuals sounds cool too....)

Ah yes, inline 6, 8 liter....gotta have one!....)))

Wat heeft dit nou in godsnaam met rijst te maken? And what's the big idea,
crossposting between different language newsgroups?

No kidding. It's still crossposting, which is moderately bad all by itself
barring overriding reasons, and doing it between different language groups
is just the icing on the cake.
