TOYOTA SUPRA V8, FORD RANGER PHEV & YOU CAN FINALLY BUY A TOYOTA TUNDRA | THE CAREXPERT PODCAST

EV Channels Review

The CarExpert Podcast tackles several significant automotive announcements, with a focus on Toyota's upcoming Tundra launch in Australia. The Tundra, set to be available for purchase in mid-November, will feature a 3.4L twin-turbo V6 hybrid engine (i-Force Max) and will be converted by Walkinshaw. While only the Limited trim is confirmed for launch, a higher-spec model is expected next year. The podcast also touches on Toyota's surprising entry into the Supercars championship with the Supra from 2026, a move questioned due to the Supra's potential discontinuation around the same time. The discussion then shifts to the Ford Ranger PHEV, which will utilize a 2.3L turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor, offering an estimated 45km of electric range. However, concerns are raised about its competitiveness against the BYD Shark, particularly regarding electric range and potential pricing. The episode also revisits the Ford Mustang, highlighting the unavailability of the Dark Horse in Australia and praising the GT manual as a compelling, albeit traditional, choice for enthusiasts.
