The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Nice color,

The red looks great in an RC.

 

Gray or black console? Been tryin not to source out a 2012 one. I really would prefer a black one but then again, I should just leave it alone and keep the gray one.

 

why s/c, truck is still gonna be a slow ass 4 banger, you're just gonna add extra stress to the engine. if you're gonna really wheel just re-gear and chop for tires. all this will cost less than the stupid gas drinking super charger! all that said and i can say i do understand the desire for power, but if you put a midget in high heels its still a midget.

 

Oh, it's cool either way IMO. The gray one actually goes better with stuff in mine, it's just the mod bug voice in my head whispering "get a black one, get a black one"....I've learned to ignore and control the bug. I still have mix of black/gray inside so the gray one is just fine.

 

they have the exact same pos 3 leaf pack as the others, mine sagged big time with 150 lbs in the bed it looked stupid, pathetic, then i snapped a leaf. then i went dakars, much better!

 

Hey, there's a v6/6spd/rr locker in the FS section. That would be much cooler than a SC 4 cyl in a reg cab IMO.....do that instead.

agreed on above! the s/c seems like a waste, you mention cash flow is not unlimited..

 

The superchargers actually make the 2.7s gain significant MPGs.

 

This is the correct course of action.

 

I just wanna see someone s/c. You wont regret it. A S/C 2.7 will have much more power than a v6 anyways

 

what? i believe you may be incorrect.. i've owned a supercharged vehicle, when the boost is running you are burning more fuel, so lower mpg is the only result if actually using it.

 

by all means go for it. it will be cool for sure. but do note that others with a modified and re-geared 4 banger gets great off road performance, extra power isn't gonna get you out of shit without breaking shit. i suggest all the wheeling mods and be happy with the fact that your lack of power will help keep your truck in one working piece longer! maybe tcase gears if you find you are under powered on the trails, or stalling out if you're running the 5spd instead of riding the heck out of the shitty clutch toyota graced us with.

 

on the road the extra juice would be nice when loaded up without a doubt! i used to drive cars that had a bit of go but for the past 8-9yrs been in 4cyl 4x4's.

 

I'm looking forward to hearing about the performance differences,

 

I have searched for that user and none exists,

Sure it's right?

10-4, I was searching for the name with the s, lol...

 

How often to you come across regular cabs in your area?

 

I have seen a couple 5 lugs and a guy in my subdivision just bought a 2nd gen 5 lug. I have yet to see another 2nd gen 4x4.

 

Hmm,
In my area I usually see 4-5 on a regular basis, meaning weekly, but I do live in the Western Carolina Mnts, lol...
