Toyota Camry in Philippines

**Jun aka Pekto** · April 6th, 2020 05:04 PM

I was researching the Camry TRD which is the cheapest way to get a V6 Camry. I have the regular Camry SE. While looking through YT videos, I noticed the SE also has the stamped steel brace up front which helps stiffen the chassis. It's hard to see because it's cleverly hidden. But, it doesn't have the rear brace which is mounted by the rear seats and eliminates the folding capability of the back seats.

Is it that big piece of block near the oil filler hole?

Btw does it have two fuel pumps? One for the direct injection and one for the port injection?

Nope. The metal brace is hidden under the rear hood rubber seal. The ends can be seen just behind the top of the front strut supports.

I haven't researched the new power train that much. But, I think there is only one fuel pump because the recall for other cars refer to singular versus plural.

I was just wondering how this Camry is marvelous at taking those corners my old Sonata would have to slow down hard for. Apparently, it's that bracing among other things. The suspension of the SE is beefed up in comparison to the LE while the TRD's is beefed up in turn compared to the SE.
