Is the Tacoma moving in a favorable direction (1st gen to 4th gen)??

I literally couldn’t care less if my truck has a lower final drive than a gladiator. If I want more crawl ratio, I’ll modify my truck. Nothing you could do would make me want to own a stellantis vehicle.

 

Yeah, they are s*** boxes but being able to lay some 35s under a midsize pickup without hacking on it is a pretty good deal

 

I have 35s on my truck and haven’t cut a thing. You really are clueless like everyone else has said





wanker

 

you put 35s on a taco lawd mine will barely get out of its own way with 245s and its got 391s on it

 

@yotadust, not sure which gen you currently have. If it's a 3g, consider the following.

3g: 3.6 (1st gear) x 3.91 (your final gear ratio) x 265lb-ft = 3,730lb-ft torque (at 4,500rpm!)

vs

4g: 4.413 x 3.58 X 317lb-ft = 5,012lb-ft (at 1,700rpm)

 

Yeah, like you can on tacomas

 

Have they ever put 4:11 gears in a Tacoma or any of their U.S. market trucks? Even as an option? That's what they need. (Maybe not/prob not, since I would think it would still be screaming at highway speeds even with the '35 inch tires.)

 

4g Tacomas with a manual have a 4:30 rear and a lower 1st gear (stump puller!). Sixth is a little taller but it will still run higher rpm than the auto in 8th. The manual will be turning almost the same rpm as the auto in 7th.

 

I might be wrong but I think 2nd gen 4.0 manual came with 4.10

 

My first gen has 4.10s

 

4g manual gear ratios trump all other gens (by a significant margin) and of course, has more torque to multiply.

 

Yeah but *something about a piece of shit Jeep!*

 

Manual 3rd gens had 4.30

 

with the 4th gen off road 4wd manual do you get 430s and the fatter rear diff??

 

If so, it sounds like that is definitely the way to go if its only 5 foot pounds less or whatever...

 

I think only hybrids get the bigger diff.

 

Hey now, Jeeps have put quite a few kids through college

 

Dealership mechanics’ kids?

 

Historically, anything with a manual or a locker got the larger differential. I would assume this car carried over to the fourth GEN.

 

Ideally, 2nd Gen with boxed frame. Waiting to see longevity of 4th Gen before considering it over my 2nd Gen. I might change my mind in 2-3 years...
