    Their blog sucks and it appears inaccurate power numbers for the 2nd Gen Tacoma are being repeated in this thread.

    Those are the numbers for the dual vvt-i 4.0 engine. The tacomas have the standard vvt-i, I understand were the confusion comes from.

    My Subaru makes about the same peak torque as a 3rd gen, just at 2000 RPM instead of 4600 ;)

    By about 1000 lbs yes haha

    I think the 4th gen Tacoma needs a turbo 4 cylinder, they have the Lexus 2.4 turbo they could use. Honestly, I think it is what they will do since they did just that with the new Tundra and its 3.4.

    lol: Ya: Go that route and he/you won't be driving a Tacoma. Maybe a Ridgeline? a used early model with all the rot around the dog-legs and the the secret "bed trunk", or worse: she gets a killer TV commercial lawyer and you end up with some wannabe Subaru, and she's buzzing around in a AWD Porche Cayenne. That would be bad.:eek:

    Your wife is very astute. Good news is you can kill your minivan powered truck by just hanging out on an incline for a minute, they like to oil starve... Ya know cause it's designed for a minivan

    Tacoma is a quick truck compared to what truck? Maybe a semi pulling 80,000 pounds, off the line. I don't know of any trucks the same year of 3rd gen Tacoma's that the Tacoma is quicker than. Maybe I am wrong?

    It revs like a 4 banger. Just stomp the skinny pedal down when you want to go faster and realize you're not driving a 4.0 toyota or jeep with torque at 2k rpms

    The power is there. You paid for the whole tachometer, use it when you need it.
