Toyota Hilux 2000 of six generation has four gasoline and four diesel engines. Gasoline engines: volume of 2.0-2.7 liters and a capacity of 101-152 horsepower. Also there is 3.0-liter V6, which supplies 193 “horses”. Among the diesel engines are atmospheric variants of 3.0 liters, producing from 98 to 105 forces. And turbine units of 2.5-3.0 liters capacity, whose potential reaches 101-125 horsepower.
Like its predecessors, the car was offered in versions with rear or all-wheel drive. It had both a mechanical and an automatic transmission (five and four gears respectively).
Among the design features of Toyota 2000 – frame body structure, power steering and braking system with discs on the front and “drums” on the rear wheels. Front mounted independent suspension, rear – dependent scheme. In the first case – it’s torsion bars, transverse levers and stabilizer bar. In the second – a continuous bridge and leaf springs.
