Ready to give up on this engine

It’s all good man!
You need something you like!
If I was unhappy with what I’m driving I’d get something else also!
Time to test some other rides
Post up what you think of what you test!

 

lol yeah maybe I should take my own advice here. It wanted to be particularly annoying today. I wish there was a solution. Everyone says OTT is so amazing but I found it to be a very slight difference.

 

Seriously, the Honda Ridge Line only mid size truck that still has a V6.

 

If I were to swap for something, it would be a pre-22 tundra 5.7.

 

Have you tried driving it with the ECT ON?
I felt the same about my 2016 then discovered the ECT mode and got the mod "ECT ON AT STARTUP"'
been driving with ECT on all the time for 7 years now
solved any issued i had with it

 

Happy Friday!

 

it’s a manual.

 

Quest?

 

I had a 08 AC base 2.7 manual everything.
Passing hills etc I had to plan ahead.
Farmers in their fancy tractors would flip me off as they passed!
But I still liked it.
Get what you like!!!!

 

I remember my 1982 Hilux with the 22r; I couldn’t even keep up with cars, pickups, SUVs, I had to glom on to the back of slow 18 wheelers to cruise at 60 mph. On long steep highway hills, some would even leave me behind.

 

Yep. My 5th gen 4 runner isn’t nearly as quick, but I like that drivetrain much better.

 

Ya, maybe not. I do wonder about a stupid

nv200, though. I dunno, anymore. Good luck whatever you end up doing!

 

A friend has an

NV200. Wife drives it. Bunch of kids + tows a camper sometimes. They love it. Bigger than I’d want to daily.

 

Nobody is holding a gun to your head, ditch it and find something else.

I'm happy with my 18, but I wont buy another Toyota in all likelihood. They aint what they used to be.

 

nah, but Toyotas still better than the other options.

*as far as quality goes

 

I do like the ‘24 Taco, though. Just a little too pricey for me, just now.

 

DUH on my part

 

I pretend 6th gear doesn't exist, and on occasion 5th as well if not going 60+. A lot of work to bring up the numbers on the engine, but it the last modern manual truck you can buy without having to go back in time. Compared to my Saturn S-Series it's a faster vehicle unironically, but I do have the luxury of not being ruined by having a faster sports coupe.

The only vehicles I can beat at silver lake is, again, unironically, other Tacomas and 4Runners, despite weighing easily an thousand extra pounds with all the tools, Decked Drawer system be heavy AF by itself, and extra fuel I carry for the four wheeler and myself.

I do find it funny when I find myself cruising 100+ on the interstate accidentally, but in the yeah, if you want more acceleration, I'd find a older vehicle you can modify, or get something more powerful. Or just accept the engine needs to be above 4k to lay down rubber.
