4 cylinder-- 2nd vs 3rd generation

Is the 4 cylinder in the 3rd generation the exact same engine that was in the 2nd generation?

I had a 2012 and now a 2023.

 

I thought it carried over from the previous gens

 

Why get the 4banger at all when the V6 gets the same MPG and has more power.

 

Because it's what I wanted.

 

It doesnt make sense

 

Okay then, be on your way.

 

Some just prefer being tied to a stump.

 

I believe it is the same 2TR-FE engine yes. Not sure if any auxiliary systems might have changed somewhat though. For example the auto trans option is different from 2nd to 3rd

 

And some people like a puke colored truck. What's your problem?

 

Superior reliability. Now be on your way.

 

The new 2TR is dual vvti and has a higher 10.2:1 compression than the one in the 2nd gen, which has 9.5:1 compression. Since this is the case, the short block part numbers are different. Different heads as well. Pretty much everything is different, including the transmissions they put behind them

 

I think its the same, but better...

 

Actually with the 4.30 diff vs the V6 3.91 diff the 4 cylinder out pulls the V6 for the first few hundred feet in a drag race

 

Because it doesn't. I get around 27 mpg in city trips, and I've gotten just over 30 on longer trips.

 

You sir are what's wrong with online forums

 

Hasn't happened with my truck. It leaves hard with those 4 bangers trying to read my license plate.

 

Wow I don't think I've seen a thread turn this shitty this fast in a long time. Even in the third gen section..

 

You don't have a friggin clue BLAK. I laugh in his and your face.

 

When V6 assholes show up to a 2.7L thread just to be assholes it’s totally warranted.

Now on your way.
