Toyota Engine Guide
Toyota has built a lot of engines over the years. This guide seeks to help Toyota owners and enthusiasts understand the backstory of their vehicle's engine, how their engine fits into the Toyota line-up, the historical context of their engine, and so on. Our engine guide talks about every major Toyota engine family from 'A' to 'ZZ'. You'll find links for each engine family below in alphabetical order.
Additionally, we've broken down Toyota engine codes so you can decode them yourself. See What Do Toyota Engine Codes Mean? for more info.
Finally, we've produced a series of articles that explain how key vehicle systems work. We hope you find them informative and useful.
