I've seen many articles that they are in the works but I have yet to see a definate release date for it.TacoTaco said:Just wondering if anyones heard of the Taco getting the hybrid option sicne the Prius has done so well. The low end that the electric motor offers would be nice for crawling. Dont know about mudd though....
Honda just came out with the V6 Accord....I can't imagine Toyota doesn't have something in the works with the Camry, Solara...and hopefully the Tacoma.TacoTaco said:Just wondering if anyones heard of the Taco getting the hybrid option sicne the Prius has done so well.

Saw an article in a car mag from about a year ago. There is a company in (I believe) Utah that sells conversion kits for our trucks that seemed pretty sweet. You can run Propane, natural gas, hydrogen or any combination of the 3. They tested the units out on a 99 TRD 4x4 V6 X-cab Taco. They said that simply adding in some hydrogen to the other two increased their milage by 20-25 percent. They did a run across the USA to promote their stuff. I think they said the price was about 5-6k for the conversions.TacoTaco said:Just wondering if anyones heard of the Taco getting the hybrid option sicne the Prius has done so well.

I know of running a propane rub on a diesel engine but not a gasoline engine...propane adds O2 for combustion like nitrous-oxide, only in a gasoline combustion chamber propane doesn't do very well like it does in a compression engine, it's to volatile.. nitrous is much more economical.NWDave said:I would recommend anyone who has the TRD supercharger look into propane injection. Propane's octane rating is 110, most kits you can find still require gas. But you only have to fill the tank every month. I have yet to see a standalone system, was looking into it for my celica.

You are absolutely correct. Someone at work has the mag floating around.
