Which engine?

What do you guys think the new tacoma engine will be. A tweaked 4.0 engine or a 3.5L engine?

 

diesel / electric hybrid hino

 

8 liter diesel.

 

28L Fiat engine is my guess

Welcome to TW.

Hard guess man. I'd like to see an engine like OT-T has listed but, not betting on it. I'd guess it'll be a version of the current or 3.5.

 

Tatra 2.5l air-cooled V-8.

 

2.7L V6 Turbo

 

I have it on good authority that the 2016 Tacoma will have an optional Supercharged and Twin-Turbo'd ToyChevy 307 V8 with performance cast iron heads and a modified Crossfire Injection system. They figured it worked well when they partnered with Subaru so now they are partnering with GM. Neat fact is the engine will be hand assembled in Japan by only one master engineer (like AMG does with it's high end motors) and then shipped by a fleet of blimps to the US. Good for 137 HP and reliability that cannot be matched. Fuel economy is predicted to be in the low teens, but that's what you get when you bump up displacement. I can't wait! Hope it runs on E85!!!!!!!

 

Turbo diesel.

 

Judging on the power of the petroleum market. I'm thinking a 4 L V6 with VVT-i making around 236 horsepower.

Why put a fuel efficient diesel, or a smaller engine (like the 3.6 pentastar making 280+ hp) or a V8 which has to work less to make the truck move...

That would be fukin silly.

 

Something with more power and better fuel economy...duh!

4 with turbo and v6 options...

At least 300hp with good torque figures, 6 or 8 speed tranny and 26mpg highway...

 

This is what I want in my current tacoma.

 

OMG YESSSS!!!! and bring back the xrunner with it....

 

Hamster power!

 

Honestly I would be too. I test drove a tundra with that motor and i was impressed how well it pushed that bigger truck. I think it would be a good match for the tacoma.

 

I think I heard something about an alternate fuel version using a steam engine.

or maybe that was just a bunch of hot air?

 

In all seriousness I am guessing it will be the 4.0 with dual vvti

 

^^^ Would like to see more torque through out the power band and also better mileage.
