According to reports, Toyota is testing a new 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine for the Hilux. This engine is rumored to produce up to 300 horsepower and will likely be paired with a 6-speed manual transmission option.
This high-performance engine is expected to power a performance-focused variant of the Toyota Hilux.
The popular pickup truck is likely to receive a range of 4-cylinder engines with displacements ranging from 1.5L to 2.0L, as the company continues its research and development.
Previously, a Toyota engineer hinted that the company aims to develop a new engine family that surpasses the renowned 2JZ engine used in the Supra during the 1990s.
Additionally, there are speculations that Toyota is considering offering the Lexus IS engine in the Hilux, positioning it as a direct competitor to the Ford Ranger Raptor.
The current-generation Toyota Hilux is equipped with a 2.8L 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine that produces 221 horsepower. With these specifications, the Toyota pickup truck falls short in the competition with the Ford Ranger Raptor, hence the need for an upgraded powertrain.
