so....the highlander is built on the camry chasis. the highlander is awd and has an available v6........ AWD v6 camry. i put two up on the lift at work and it doesnt seem to extremely difficult despite funding. would be very cool for rally cross, i can see it now! "...yeah its a camry." lol

 

of course if you wanted the stock hieght of a Highlander on your Camry. I seen similar vehicles that share the same basic platform for their SUV AWD counter part.

Mitsubishi Lancer (non Evo) - Outlander
Corolla - Rav 4
Civic - CRV
350Z - Murrano
and so on....

 

....Well, drivetrain at least ofr the 350Z

 

last i checked the 350z was built on their truck platform.....hmm...long travel baja twin turbo 350z anyone?

oh and the corrolla is not a rav 4 waaaaaaaaaay diffrent.

 

Opps, I was referring to the 96-2000 models. THe Rav 4 now uses the Camry engine right?

 

sorta reminds me of that new ford ad...."fusion challange" where they say C/D invited some readers to test the AWD Fusion vs FWD Camry and Accord and asked them "which one handled better?" and of course the vast majority said "Ford".....geeze...i wonder why.

good job ford on unfair comparisons and misleading ads

 

dont know about AWD but u can get limited slip for the camry.

 

Also ford is reporting its biggest loss ever last year. I think it was a cool 12 BILLION. And so I am not thread jacking an AWD camry would be cool as hell.

 

hey badbasic READ the thread, i didnt ask if one was available i was mearly stating if i had an 05 camry and an 05 highlander i could build one.

 

well daihatsu sells a variant of our new camry and they offer it with AWD... its just a re badged camry

 

nice! now it needs to be lifted with a turbo and some beadlock rims~! and call it the rally edition

 

its called the Daihatsu Altis, im not sure if it has our 3.5L V6 or not but the platform of the new gen camry supports an AWD system. i wonder if toyota feels the heat from the fusion AWD with lowered sales of the camry, would they consider bringing over an AWD camry for the states

 

can you build one? i dont c y not. in not too sure if it would b a direct bolt in system, but it would work... maybe with some modifications

 

In the JDM, Toyota offers most of its' vehicles with AWD since 1988. The Camry was sold here in AWD from 88-91 under the All-trac moniker. However, Camrys have, with the exception of the 98-01 Gracia(JDM wagon) have never offered the V6 with AWD. Actually, the V6 was discontinued as an option on the Camry in Japan after 2001. Also, the JDM V6 was only 2.5 liters(2MZ-FE) but rated at more hp than the US 3.0.
I've always wanted to take a AWD 88-90 and the engine/transmission out of the Celica GT4(All-Trac) into it as the Celicas used the same block back then.

 

THANKS!!!! (soaking up knowledge )

 

i'd love an awd camry option. thatd be sweet
