V8 is staying with a 'new' 4-cylinder to join the engine line-up.
Auto with the new 4-cycliner but no word on the wheel track.
Would assume that it will be corrected.

The 'new' 4-cylinder is from the HiLux.
Hybrid not currently in the line-up but sure it will follow.

Pressure to use a more fuel (and oil :) ) efficient motor will be the driving force.

They've been running the same width rear axle since 1985, why change that now. The 70 series have always been a parts bin car. Not much development happens.

But they widened the front track when they fitted the V8 and they should have widened the rear to match.

Yup, they widened the front track by using an 80 series housing. Minimal effort for maximum gain.

A 70 series with a 4 cylinder will be an under powered slugI think your forgetting the days when the 70 used to have a 1HZ ;D
