My dealer just had just received info from head office that morning - confirmed from another guy in Melbourne. We're both in first round, so unsure what effect that has.
Keeping in mind the T56 and V160/161 are rated to 450Nm from factory. The ZF8HP51 is 500Nm. A planetary gearset is inherently stronger than a spur-gear arrangement.
I'm curious to see what the transmission can do.
A little more info.
If you cancel your order, it goes back to Toyota HQ. They won't be dealer stock.
Wholesale will release cars to the public on the 4th September...
