You need to note that these are engines and not vehicles.TD27 is an older model of nissan caravan engine as compared to qd32.The TD27 was recommended to carry 1000kg while qd32 is recommended to carry 1200kgs.
The design is a bit different especially the front and the back.Today both models are not allowed into Kenya as they are all older than 8yrs.
If you need more help email githukusm@yahoo.com

Spares for both are available. however Qd32 are expensive. qd 32 engine is more powerful and has high resistance to heat. the engine block is hard to repair once it is worn out.

A 3L and 5L i believe are toyotas.If he is engaging in matatu business,tell him to do his homework well.There are many hidden issues than the engine, can be seen from the outside.We have been there,experienced and left.please advise him to research well on the all aspects.

If he decides to go for a Toyota, let him have the 5L, its reliable engine and powerful
