Toyota’s longest-running nameplate has been redesigned from the ladder-frame chassis up for the 2022 model year. The 300 series doesn’t feature a V8 engine, but on the upside, customers will be happy to hear that a twin-turbo V6 mill replaces it with more horsepower and torque. 32 photos
From 3.5 liters of displacement, the Japanese automaker quotes 415 PS and 650 Nm (409 horsepower and 479 pound-feet). A brand-new V6 twin-turbo diesel is offered as well, and it’s even torquier at 700 Nm (516 pound-feet).
