Rumor?

I heard a rumor the other day that they are going to release a Taco with the tried and true 4.7 V-8 that has been in the Tundra. Anyone else hear this one?

 

i havent heard anything confirmed and the only evidence i've seen is the trd tacoma they had at SEMA, the green access cab with the short bed and the 4.7l v8, it also had the BHLM done here are some pics of it

 

there was one in the sema show last year with the 4.7 in it ...maybe thats where your informer got their info

thats the one i just posted pics of, i looked for the thread to find the motor pics but i couldnt find it. ya dig my new title morcheez?

 

I don't think it was, he's a Honda mech and has alot of buddies at Toyota and they told him about it 2yrs ago. Who knows though,but if they made a v8 Taco DC 4wd i'm there.

 

i think my taco scoots pretty well with the v6, i cant imagine the 4.7l v8 without drooling a bit haha would be great for the right foot exercise tho

 

It's all rumor until they officially announce it.

 

I suck down enough gas as it is and dont need anything more than the V6. The V8 is a cool idea but i dont want it. If i wanted a V8 i would have gotten the Tundra. Besides, i think making a V8 tacoma will cannibalize tundra sales. they need to focus on making a good diesel for the Tacoma that they can release in the US. a 6cyl diesel preferably

 

I agree, just heard that we could be looking a 4 buck a gallon soon.. barrel price is soaring toward $100 a barrel!!! Don't need to get any less MPGs.

 

We should start a poll on how much gas is in our area.

Here yesterday was $2.89

 

it is now $2.99 in Oviedo, fla thinking of that vespa right now

 

3.07 [if you pay cash] at the Arco here in Temecula, Cali

 

$2.98 in Cincinnati

 

2.88 last night

 

2.95 northeast GA

 

2.78 Houston Tx

 

$2.90 in Greenville SC

And last i heard they were predicting $150 per barrel over the next 6 months which would make gas around $5.50 per gallon

 

i lied, i saw 3.27 this morning here in temecula, cali

 

$3.26 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep...I'm in Temecula too.

 

$3.39 Central Coast Cali, ouch, I don't usually even pay attention to them though, it doesn't do any good. Besides, I put about 6k miles per year on my truck so I only have to fill up every two weeks or so.
$3.59 for me though, cuz I use 91 usually, accept when I travel I use 89 sometimes 87.
