Pathetic low end torque

A tractor is all bottom end but I wouldn't want to drive it on the road to work everyday. When you need more top end, the 2GR is the winner.

 

This is true.

 

Maybe so. But the peak torque of the 1GR hits some 600 rpm sooner than the 2GR. That lower end is mostly achieved through the 1GRs longer stroke....giving it the additional 500 CCs of displacement as well

 

Not a bad first post. Took a swipe at the Third Gen and managed to work in that you've owned a bunch of Tacomas, but you did forget to mention that it's a $40k truck. So close to the total package.

 

Most of that bottom end is achieved through gear reduction.....hence why a tractor can't do 60 mph

 

The 2013 suits my needs well.
I don't believe the gen 3 could merge this load into traffic as swift as I can. In fact, if I'm too heavy on the peddle, I will squeal the tires all the way through an intersection. That's with plenty of tongue load.

 

Why is there chinese lettering in the guys overalls? Conspiracy theory?

 

It translates to, POS Tacoma, Fuck Toyota.

 

I've said before that I would have preferred Toyota took this motor and stroked it out to 4.0 Litre like the engine it replaced. My Truck weighs about 200 pounds more then my Wifes Highlander but her vehicle feels like it weighs a lot less off of the line with the same sized engine.I blame that on tuning.

 

You think he is not satisfied with the torque?

 

Wrong forum homie. Tacomas torque numbers are in the 200s

 

Don't ruin this for me.

 

Easy bro. Don't want you wearing those rear tires out with that beast.

 

Bro......the problem has a name and its called Torque

We did this in high school with our parents cars. Brake stall and chlorox
