3rd Gen 2.7 problems ?

There are no problems. No real ones anyway. Last week there was a troll thread on a busted ass 2.7, but that op just wanted to get the engine on the front page for once.

 

2017 2.7/5MT. No engine or truck problems. Just checked it at 4000miles on the service and it's 1/4qt low.

 

Yes, unfortunately the fuel pump recall did include the 2.7L.
I'm mot a rock crawler, off roader, or any of those more adventuresome sorts. I'm just an old guy who needs a reliable 4 wheel drive truck to get me to my hunting and fishing spots. The 2.7 does everything I ask of it.
Edit: I don't have see any drop in engine oil level between oil changes.

 

Ignore about 90% of what you see on the Internet and you'll be fine.

 

It will be bulletproof.
Miss my 2.7

 

Why would weak piston rings make the emissions better?

 

2018 with 53,000+

Just change the oil and add gas as needed.

 

2.7 is rock solid. cast iron, spin on oil filter even.

 

I’m waiting for someone’s horror story but even if it came I’m sure it wasn’t a maintained motor

 

102k on 2016 5MT 4WD. Zero issues. No oil consumption. Supertech 5w30 since new.

 

AC, power door locks, reclining seats... creature comforts for 2.7 owners

 

It’s true. These are huge comforts not all of us wanted. A/C is fine. I have never needed power door locks or windows...that’s just me. The only thing that I will take and not look back is heated mirrors. They stay cleaner because you’re not wiping them off with your grubby ass mits

 

Beautiful Tacoma - 78K no problems - sounds good !

 

Sounds good but I already have all that on my 2008 so what's different ? Where did you get the emoji ? How do you add it to the post ?

 

Heated Mirrors are great - I got a kit but never got inspired enough to install it.

 

Thanks from one old guy to another - did you go in for the fuel pump recall ? Really don't want a problem with fuel pump out of warranty since it's inside the tank.

 

Welcome. Click on the smiley face to unleash a drop down menu of emojis, that you can then use to mock people and their posts. Simply click on the one most appropriate for shaming/loling

 

That's really good to know - I've been using various name brand oil for years - recently switched to Supertech 5w 20 after reading the label and about it on TW. 102k sound real good. Thanks.

 

Tacoma's are great even a Slow Turd can drive one !

 

Cast Iron mo betta then aluminum !
