3.4 ?

What is everyones opinion of the 3.4 V6 that is in the 03 models? I might have my 98 bought back and I am looking for another tacoma. Unfortunately I think the buy out will leave me to short to replace my truck with a tacoma.
Thanks,
Hi-tec

 

I love my truck I have the 3.4 it has just the right amount of power and MPG for me.

So I say go for it!!!!

 

127k and no problems as of yet (that I know of; knock on wood).

 

I don't get your question, you aren't replacing your truck with a tacoma but you're asking about the 3.4 in a Tacoma?

 

I love it! I have 208k miles on it doesn't burn any oil, nothings ever been wrong with it runs like new!

the 3.4 from the 98 is the same as the 03

 

194k here.. and runs perfect, and i mean it!

 

I think he has the 2.7 maybe he'll chime in and tell us which engine he has lol

 

the 3.4 is totally worth it. unless you find a 4cyl truck in amazing shape for an amazing price, get the 3.4. there is a very small difference in gas mileage relative to the additional power and drivability. both engines are awesome and last forever though.

and if you want an auto, don't even think about getting a 4 cyl. all 4x4 4cyl automatic trucks always have been and always will be gutless.

 

the 3.4 is good but i rather stay wit the 2.7. timing belt dont need to be replace for many years to come. imo.

 

I had a 96 2.7L that was recalled. Dealer gave me 6800 and so I bought a 2001 V6 TRD for 8000. It was well worth it.

If you can find a newer replacement V6 taco for close to the same price or even a few thousand more, jump on it.
