1GD-FTV and 2GD-FTV parts from Dubai: injectors, DPF and chain kits

Toyota announced the GD family on 19 June 2015 as the replacement for its KD diesels. The 1GD-FTV is a 2.8 litre of 2,754 cc, 92 mm by 103.6 mm, rated 130 kW and 450 Nm at launch. The 2GD-FTV is a 2.4 litre of 2,393 cc, 92 mm by 90 mm, rated 110 kW and 400 Nm. Both are direct-injection common-rail turbo diesels, and Toyota added that specifications vary according to market.

Output rose later. Wikipedia lists 150 kW for the 1GD-FTV from 2020, with 500 Nm on automatics, so trucks built before and after that change can carry different parts. Toyota also described the 2015 turbocharger as a compact variable-geometry unit made in-house, and introduced its first urea SCR system with the family. We therefore ask for the build month with every GD request and match turbo, injector and exhaust-side parts to it.

Wikipedia lists the Hilux, Fortuner, Land Cruiser Prado J150 and HiAce H200 among the GD vehicles, with the Land Cruiser 70 added in 2023. Toyota South Africa's Land Cruiser 79 page presents the 2.8 litre GD as its debut in the 70 Series, and Toyota UAE lists a 2.8 litre diesel in its Hiace range beside 2.7 and 3.5 litre petrols. Its Hilux page lists only a 2.7 and a 4.0, so a GD Hilux in the Gulf needs its code checked.

These are the newer trucks. An extract of a sales-statistics blog, which we saw only in part, puts the Hilux and Land Cruiser 70 at about half of Uganda's 2025 new-vehicle sales; Saudi Arabia's 2025 sales were led by the Accent, Yaris, Camry and Hilux, and Iraq's best seller of 2024 was the Hilux. None of those figures names an engine, so we do not claim which Hilux is a GD; the code on the block settles it.

A Toyota enthusiasts' technical FAQ on the GD diesels describes a two-stage chain drive. A primary roller chain of 9.525 mm pitch runs from the crankshaft to the fuel pump shaft, and a secondary chain of 8.0 mm pitch runs to the camshafts, held by a spring-loaded hydraulic tensioner with a ratchet. The FAQ gives no replacement interval and neither does Toyota's release, so we name none.

For an order, that means a chain kit is more than one chain: two chains, sprockets, guides and the tensioner, and the set that fits depends on the engine and its build date. A KD belt kit is a different family and will not fit. Send the VIN and the engine code, and say if the water pump should be quoted with it; the FAQ describes the GD water pump and fan as belt driven.

The FAQ says the GD common rail uses Denso components at 35 to 220 MPa, rising to 250 MPa on the 2020 type. Its injectors are solenoid units, and each carries a QR code holding its model code and an individual fuel correction that must be programmed into the engine computer. That makes the code part of the order, so we ask for the number and code on the old unit, and you can ask for a photograph of the new unit's code beside its part number.

The FAQ also lists Toyota service bulletins for abnormal injector spray caused by corrosion or deposits, and for clogged injector orifices that set fault codes P2463 and P2458, each fixed with new injectors and recalibration. It lists glow plug failure codes too, and a recall of Prado, Hiace and Regius Ace built from March to June 2019 over the torque on the fuel line between the high-pressure pump and the rail. Treat these as one club's summary of bulletins, not as Toyota's own words.

Whether your GD truck has a diesel particulate filter depends on its market and year. Where one is fitted, the FAQ describes an exhaust-side fuel injector that raises the filter to about 600 to 700 degrees Celsius during active regeneration. Toyota Australia extended its DPF warranty to ten years with no kilometre limit on certain Hilux, Fortuner and Prado models, including the filter and the fifth injector, and said the action was not a recall.

That Australian action marks two lines Toyota itself has covered: the filter and the regeneration injector. Toyota's letter described white smoke during regeneration, a warning lamp and in some cases limp-home mode as the symptoms. The FAQ also lists a bulletin for coolant loss from a leaking EGR cooler, with internal fatigue cracks and possible overheating. For a quote on any of these, send the VIN, the build month and a photograph of the part with its number.

A GD truck is at most about a decade old, and our research expects fleet buyers in Zimbabwe, such as members of the government fleet agency CMED and the motor industry body MIAZ, to lean to genuine parts, with quality aftermarket leading for price-led workshops. We therefore quote a GD line in up to three grades and name each: Toyota genuine, an OE-brand maker such as Denso for injectors, or quality aftermarket. In the one OE-brand pair we measured in Dubai on 3 November 2026, the OE-brand part cost about two-thirds of genuine.

Filters need the most care. Al-Futtaim reported seizing counterfeit parts worth AED 7.46M in 2024, of which AED 2.81M were oil filters, so a distributor invoice for the lot matters most on a genuine filter order, and you should ask for one with the quote. The same logic applies to an injector: ask for photographs of the box, the part number and the QR code before you pay.

Send the engine code, 1GD-FTV or 2GD-FTV, the full 17-character VIN, the build month and year, and the country. For injectors send the QR code and part number from the old unit; for exhaust-side parts say whether the truck has a particulate filter and a urea tank. A photograph of the engine plate and of the part saves a round of questions.

Put every line in one message. Each comes back quoted at trade quantities with its grade and brand named. Fluids stay out of every export quote, which includes engine oil, coolant and the urea solution, and we leave out any line we cannot match to your VIN.
