1HD-FTE OR NEW V8 D4-D

Post by rowenb »

Wondering how the new V8 diesel is stacking up against the older 1HD-FTE? Has there been any major problems with the new motor? Bloke i know had fuel pump problems that were rectified by the dealership as a fault from factory. I have driven utes with both of the two motors and think the V8 is more flexible in power delivery. Whats your opinion?

I love V8's but my 2006 79 series has plenty for what i need..
Had a choice of either & am glad i went with the 1HDFTE while they sort out the niggles with the newie, the only significant difference/improvement is the tourque as far as i care... in std form that is..
I am not aware of the many issues they had when it first launched as compared to now having sorted them..

I will however buy the V8 after driving this a while longer....
