The 3.5-liter Toyota 1PZ diesel engine was produced by the company from 1990 to 1993 and was installed on the popular Land Cruiser 70 all-wheel drive SUV. This unit is also found on the Coaster passenger bus in the twentieth body.
In terms of its parameters, this naturally aspirated diesel is very simple and is unlikely to be a pleasant purchase for fans of high-speed driving. But the engine is specially designed for an SUV, and it performs its tasks perfectly.
In the technical characteristics of the power unit, it is worth paying special attention to the incredibly early torque. The engine works perfectly throughout the entire range of revolutions, pulls well at the bottom and does not cause problems with all-wheel drive transmissions.
