    The VQ40DE uses almost the same fuel consumption as the VQ56VD, there's absolutely nothing special about it other than saving on initial purchase and then having a sluggish slow car. I own the VQ56DE patrol and I'am happy with it clocking 320,000km with no issues. The only major thing that I replaced is the radiator and power steering assembly which broke due to jumping hard on large speed bumps in Dubai.(Note: The steering assembly leaked oil but it kept working fine all the time, the service advisor said it can only be replaced which is much easier and cost effective).

    I just bought a 2020 Armada (68,000 miles) basically for its Tow Capacity (rated 8500lbs), I'm not as concerned about Fuel Milage as we use it primarily for fun (tow our vintage car) Sure would be great to get 22mpg as we did with our MBZ Sprinter Van but the Armada is more comfortable.

    • @thelonglastexpert
      @thelonglastexpert  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It's hard to answer this question, sir, but we must admit there's not much reason for joy. Take a look at the new QX80, and in my opinion, it's a large luxury SUV that your wife should be driving. I believe that if the company makes a new Patrol based on this SUV, it will be a fiasco, but there is great hope that a different platform will form the basis of the new model, and then there might be a chance to look forward to the new Y63. However, if you are a fan of a big V8, I don't see much point in waiting since the new Patrol will likely be the last V8 for this model.

      Please provide some sources that says Toyota uses engines from Yamaha, Isuzu, and Mazda. Those 3 manufacturers are some of the only that have a chance at making as reliable of an engine as Toyota genuine designed engines. Add Honda to that list it’s a top 5.

      @@galaxyphone7784 The engine is quite reliable, but it's important to understand that direct fuel injection leads to carbon buildup on the valves, which needs periodic cleaning. It's hard to imagine a VK56VD engine going 500,000 km without a stretched timing chain or some other issue; such an engine requires maintenance, but with proper care, it shouldn't pose problems up to 300,000 km, as many issues have already been addressed by the manufacturer. You should understand that when buying a Armada with this engine, you're primarily buying power.

      @galaxyphone7784 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @thelonglastexpert great explanation, appreciated it. I think one or two carbon cleaning procedures and a possible replacement of the chain should be ok, I guess. Debating between the Armada and the 5.7 V8 Toyota Sequoia, both have their advantages, just like the Armada over the Sequoia.
