Is the 3rd gen 4 cylinder that slow?

Man if you don’t want a fun car and sounds like you’ve had many. I see a 4 banger as a good choice especially with tundra for heavy lifting. I only have a 4 banger and man I’m okay with that. It’s great in snow, hauls all I need and gets like 25mpg…. On the highway

 

Did not read all comments so sorry if this has been double posted. To my knowledge a double cab 4cylinder does not exist. You'll have to step down to an access cab to have the 4 cylinder be available.

 

It does exist, just not with 4wd.

 

Makes sense. When I was looking for access cab 4wd's, I was only able to try the 4 cylinder sr access cab, and it reminded of a 4 cylinder 20r I owned back in 1979, just a lot bigger/heavier, but nearly as slow. This test drive made my decision for a 6 cylinder easy.

 

There are double cabs with the 2.7. They are RWD. They sell them for around 30-32 MSRP here in Virginia.

 

I'm curious how much difference in power it feels between the double cab and access cab

 

V6 is slow as shit too anyway

 

Yeah. Seriously. Man.

 

It’s not exactly like the 3.5 is a dumpster fire. It’s arguably one of the most reliable ICE engines out there

 

No. That's simply not true

 

Lol

 

2GR-FKS is literally the most problematic v6 ever put into a Toyota truck

 

Yea and ? There have been exactly 3 v6 engines in these things. It may be the less reliable of the 3 but so is everything else after modern f/e Standards etc. This V6 is still more reliable than 99% of ice engines out there

 

What are you basing this on?

 

If Toyota offered me a 2023, 6 cylinder, Automatic at a no cost trade for my 2017 AC, 4WD, MT, 4 banger, with 60K miles, I would keep my truck.

 

Best of the worst isn't exactly high praise

 

Same. I'd never waste cash and roll the dice on that goofy Atkinson 3.5

 

I didn’t say it’s a dumpster fire or that it’s a bad engine. I have one. But it’s not in the league of the 2.7 for reliability.

 

Lol. Well, you’re wrong man. Just that simple.

 

Ok and ? It’s like the sole attribute of the 2.7 is reliability.

It’s under powered, coarse and unrefined engine that has no business existing in this century. Farm equipment uses better engines nowadays.
