Regarding the proposed merge from Gyurza patrol vehicle:

• Strong oppose. That article has only a single reference, which is from the social media site LiveJournal - see WP:USERGENERATED. Anybody could have made that information up. The photos in that single reference look to me like they have been photoshopped - or they are of spotlessly clean vehicles. Without some solid proof, this looks like a hoax to me.  Stepho  talk  11:18, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have undone the merge because it fails WP:RELIABLESOURCES.  Stepho  talk  08:42, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm kind of curious about this: [1], this, and this.  Mr.choppers | ✎  11:33, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nathanferdinand, we have a number of different sources of power figures for the 2TR-FE.

• At Toyota TR engine#2TR-FE it says 119 kW at 5200 rpm and 244 Nm at 3800 rpm.
• At http://www.caradvice.com.au/351523/2016-toyota-hilux-interior-and-exterior-leaked/ it says 166 kW.
• At http://www.caradvice.com.au/349644/2016-toyota-hilux-engine-details-leaked-ute-to-debut-autonomous-emergency-braking/ it says 116 kw (no rpm given) and 240 Nm at 3800 rpm.

Going from 119 kW to 166 kW is quite a fantastic jump, even with various improvements. Going from 119 kW down to 116 kW is more likely and the small drop is probably explained by more stringent emission controls. Likewise, the small drop from 244 Nm to 240 Nm is probably due to more stringent emissions controls. Since both caradvice.com articles are speculative, the one that more closely aligns with the existing engine is preferable and the one that jumps up 33% without adding a turbo is unlikely to be true.  Stepho  talk  06:45, 30 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

One possible explanation of the 166 figure is that it is a simple typo - 116 kW became 166 kW by a doubling of the 6 instead of the 1.

I restored the 116 kW figure in the article based on the above. I also restored the 240 Nm figure (given in 3rd ref above).

An anon IP added in transmission entries for the 2TR-FE. Both caradvice refs gave very specific figures for diesel engin/trans combos but only guessed at the 2TR-FE transmission, so I have removed these guesses. We're already well into WP:CRYSTALBALL territory without making guesses.  Stepho  talk  01:33, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all (including Vauxford & Charles01), i was looking through a suitable example for the rear view for this section. I have dug through some good examples, so i'm going to get you all to choose which one would be the best replacements. As SquiddyFish said to me on Facebook, he said to me that "...images can be subjective... ...facts are not..." So moving forward and to prevent conflict, I'm bringing up a discussion for everyone to have a look and pick. Please choose.

Out of these two, which would be the better replacement. Vauxford, I know we have had this discussion, but to be fair and unbiased, I'm going to get other users to have their input :). Please do not revert until other users have their input, because it would not be fair on any others, and I do not want to start an edit war. If anyone has a good example, feel free to build onto the discussion as it would be nice to have as many images as possible for all to see. --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 04:41, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Both the images you want us to compare are, in my opinion, second rate, but neither is a complete disaster. Faint praise, and illustrating some of the familiar issues with you two. In my opinion. Stood a bit too close. Angles not quite right. Backgrounds messy. White car challenges which I think the English picture handles better, either because the photographer has adjusted his settings (and/or his filter, but I don't think so) more carefully or because the light was not so strong. Or maybe a bit of both. Indeed. I do not understand why you are so obsessed with uploading so many pictures of the backs of cars and utes. But if we did, then we would, in this case, need to concentrating on finding people - not just you two people - willing to produce better ones rather than arguing the toss between a couple of rather similar mediocre ones.

I am slightly surprised this image (I'll put it on the right) doesn't feature on the HiLux page. It is not without issues, but on a cursory inspection, and set in an admittedly "underwhelming field" (no guys, not the field with the grass on it), it is a significantly more impressive "infobox candidate" than the relevant ones that someone - presumably you - has inserted over the past couple of years.

I apologise - if needed - for mentioning the two of you in the same section. What you have in common is a powerful urge to swamp wikipedia with your own not particularly distinguished photographs. And, frankly, you have some of the same - in my (sometimes humble ...) opinion - blindspots when it comes to image quality. But I appreciate that you no longer wish to be regarded as a twosome. And I also appreciate - though again it's only one persons' opinions - than between you, the quality of your uploads is better than it was when you embarked on your rampagings!

Keep up the good bits. Regards Charles01 (talk) 08:44, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Charles01, its hard to achieve a shot like this. Because normally on streets it can be difficult. The silver one looks 'washed out' with the sun and it doesn't give a full colour representive. Just in case Vauxford decides to throw a 'tantrum' I replaced his image back :) --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 09:00, 17 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
