The Toyota Dyna gains more power and torque with the introduction of a new 3.0-litre D-4D engine for 2007. The new unit replaces the previous 2.5-litre D-4D engine in the Dyna range of dropside, tipper and chassis cab models and completes Toyota’s upgrade of all its LCV powertrains to meet Euro IV emissions standards.

The change will add further impetus to Toyota’s fast-growing market performance. In January, Toyota’s combined LCV sales figures (including Hiace and Hilux) marked an increase of more than 100 per cent on 2005.

The new engine develops 108bhp (109 DIN hp) at 3,000rpm, a significant increase on the 88 and 102bhp outputs offered by the 2.5 D-4D. More torque is generated, too, with a maximum 286Nm available from 1,200 to 1,600, compared to 192 and 260Nm from the outgoing engine. A five-speed manual transmission is fitted as standard to all Dyna models.

Dyna is a strong competitor in the 3.0 to 3.5-tonne chassis cab market. Three basic models are available: Dyna 300 with standard wheelbase and Dyna 350 with medium or long wheelbase. Each is available in chassis cab or dropside alloy form, with the 300 SWB

offered with a one-way tipper body and the 350 MWB a three-way tipper. CV on-the-road prices start at £12,670 (exc VAT) for the Dyna 300 SWB chassis cab.
