Company Profile:
A type of fuel induction system that uses a pump and injectors to pump fuel under pressure into the incoming air stream, as opposed to a carburetor. In modern engines, electronic fuel injection (EFI) precisely measures the amount of fuel used, improving drivability, performance, economy and emissions control.

A "full-floating axle" is used for heavy-duty load conditions. The axle is not attached to the wheel hub. In fact, it is possible to remove the axle while the wheel is still attached to the differential axle tubes. The axle housing carries the entire load of the vehicle, leaving the fully floating axle to only deal with the engine torque. By separating the two functions, the rear axle can effectively carry more load and transfer more torque than a semi-floating axle. A full-floating axle is commonly used in heavy-duty 3/4-ton and 1-ton trucks, providing a more even weight distribution over the axle than a semifloating design.

Used on the front section of Toyota pickups, this design incorporates two c-channel frame sections welded together to form a box. Reinforcements are pre-welded inside in key areas for additional strength. In addition, this frame section is designed to act as a forward crumple zone for frontal impacts. This frame design provides maximum torsional rigidity to support the engine and transmission of the truck.
