1HZ ENGINE: 4.2-LITER, INLINE 6 CYLINDER

Not only is the Toyota 1HZ diesel capable of doing the job of a smaller capacity turbo-diesel, it will continue to do so for at least half a million kilometres with some operators reporting a million kilometres covered before major work has been required.

Throw in superb day-to-day reliability and dependability and decent efficiency and fuel economy, and you can see why the 1HZ, though hardly a sprinter, has endeared itself to long-distance and remote-area travellers.

Any 1HZ engine review will always make the point that this is a long-life engine that won’t quit in a hurry.
