Toyota Diesel Engines

I am leaning towards purchasing a new Toyota 7 series 13,500 lb pneumatic forklift with a Toyota 15Z diesel engine, I do not personally know of anyone that has this engine, so my question is does Toyota make a decent & reliable diesel engine? Any thoughts good or bad would be greatly appreciated! Also does anyone know if the 15Z is a tier 3 or a tier 4?

TOYOTA make great engines.Here in Europe the most common diesel engines are the 1DZ , 1Z , 2Z.They are assembly this engines since the 5 series,with only some few upgrades.In my opinion,the best engines running in the market,with no doubt.

The 15Z, if I'm not mistaken, is Tier III. I don't think Toyota will be releasing their Tier IV until sometime in 2013.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
