Where the money is on this family
2TR and 1GR are workhorse engines in vehicles that owners do not scrap: a Hilux or a Land Cruiser gets a replacement engine rather than a replacement chassis. That pushes the retail price of a good used unit far above what a Corolla engine fetches.
This is the family where the retail differential in the Gulf is widest, which is why we hold it in Dubai as well as Guangzhou for buyers who need units immediately rather than by container.
Buy the whole container or fill the gap
Two patterns work here. Large fleet suppliers take a dedicated 2TR or 1GR container. Smaller counters add ten or fifteen units into a mixed load of 1NZ and QR25, so the high-margin stock rides along on the freight cost of the volume family.
Tell us which one you are and we will quote accordingly; the freight per unit changes the arithmetic more than most buyers expect.
Inspection on larger blocks
Larger engines get more inspection time, not less. We check for block and head damage, look for signs of overheating, run compression where the unit permits, and photograph the timing cover, sump and mounting points so you can see what you are buying.
Every unit carries its serial and photo set. Nothing on this family is sold sight-unseen.

Frequently asked
Is the 1GR sold as a complete V6 assembly?
Grade A units are complete with main accessories. On Grade B, ancillaries may be missing — we list what is on the engine before you pay.
Do you stock 2TR for Hiace as well as Hilux?
Yes. The block is shared across the platform; we note the donor vehicle in the photo set when it is identifiable.
Can these ship to Iraq or Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia is an established lane. Iraq is served after compliance review, which we run before quoting.
