✦ Synopsis

In recent years, global environmental preservation and energy savings have become primary objectives even for truck engines. The 3RZ-FE engine, newly developed to succeed the 22R-E engine, is an in-line 4-cylinder 2.7-liter gasoline engine. With such features as 16-valve DOHC, well tuned intake system and a pair of balance shafts built into the cylinder block, this engine provides high performance, low fuel consumption, low exhaust emissions, low noise and vibration and high reliability.
