V-8 Tacoma - Would You?

Yes, who would say "No"?
That's like asking if anyone wants a bigger cock...even the women would say "Yes" to that...stupid question!

Next question!

 

I would trade my Tacoma & the 4Runner for a V8 in the 2011 Tacoma but the Tacoma would have to have up to date , Like lites in the glove box & center consule, 4wheel disc 18 inch tires....

 

toyota is not making any more v8 4runners. only 2.7L and new 4.0L.

 

I want a V-8 just for the amount of pulling I do. Crappy mpg when I pull. I put on an intake, headers and hi flow exhaust. Helps, but need a little more to make me happy.

 

That's what she said

 

Yah Really

I STILL WANT A 6 CYL TURBO DIESEL TACOMA

 

Honestly, if they made a V8 that turned of 2 or 4 cylinders when not needed that would be awesome.

• compact truck small enough to wheel, park, and just drive on a daily basis
• more power for towing or wheeling/rock crawling than the V6
• better fuel economy that the V6 if it can drop to a 4cycl at highway cruising speed

Now *THAT* would be great! Power of a V8, fuel economy of a 4 banger when you don't need the power.

 

I'm just saying, if people want a V8 in this little truck why not do it right? I mean, why should active fuel management cost so much? Some extra sensors (or maybe even what's already there), and some software.

Besides, I for one got the short bed to get the most compact, off-road capable package. Some oversized Ford or Chevy with an 8 ft box would have been unacceptable. Ford is doing the Raptor. Why can't Toyota do something similar with a Taco on steroids?

 

I mean really, how much do you think a V8 option would be. Look at a SR5 Tacoma 4x4, add a V8, similar to the 4Runner platform, adds maybe $2,000 to the sticker??? I'm not sure because we're all dreaming, but I would have checked that box for sure! Cheaper than adding the 7th injector Supercharger ($4,800.00-$6,000.00)!

 

True, like the 4runner added power seats to all V8's as standard. So who knows what crazy crap they would add!

 

Tacoma with a Diesel engine now that would be AWESOME!!

 

ill just by a used 4.7 and drop it in... saw one for sale in bakersfield a while back!

 

Instead of that, I'd rather see a deisel option. (not likely)

 

i would rather have a supercharger

 

i had a v8 4runner and loved it . gas milage was good . with the v8 you are not lugging as much as the v6 so u dont use as much gas as u would think. ur motor isnt laboring as hard as a v6 would. dont get me wrong my dc is a v6 but if v8 was a option i wouldnt have even gave it a second thought. just cause u got the extra hp doesnt meanu have to use it but its nice when u want it.

 

^^^ and s/c too^^^ oh the POWER!!!!

 

like my v6

 

I bought a Tacoma for the gas mileage if they threw a v8 in, it would basically be a better built F-150. I'll stick with the v-6

 

Yes, only for the sound.

 

nope. the 6 is enough power for me.
