When are we going to get HP numbers on the Gen 3...

Toyota started leaking information on the Gen 3 six months ago. They obviously know what the HP is for this truck why are they waiting soooo long to give us the numbers. GM released their numbers along with everything else. This is really getting old.

 

That and MPG is really all we are waiting on of significance.

They already said towing is "right around 6800 lbs."

 

Who cares its a girl motor zzz

 

Thanks for contributing to this thread. There are many people that are very interested to know what the HP, TQ, and MPG figures will be on the new Tacoma.

 

Don't hold your breath. Engine specs are withheld as long as possible. Do you really think they want to give Nissan a power target to meet this early on? Expect #'s weeks or even days before launch. Ford withheld specs from the 2015 as long as they could.

 

My uncles neighbor's ex college roommate is a detailer at a dealer. He said he has the inside track. 300hp and 30mpg

 

I doubt the truck will have 300hp . I would say more in the 270-280 hp and maybe the same torque numbers as the current one! - My opinion

 

Better start creating more.. Brb

 

Idk this a very reliable source

 

Your "uncle's neighbor's ex college roommate"? Are you trolling us?

 

Yep looks like a real busy thread you have here. 0ne post a day & most of it is ..

 

What is the HP, torque, fuel economy and tow ratings of the Colorados new diesel engine thats coming out?
Oh yeah they haven't released those numbers yet.

 

Is it because no one cares, or because this topic has been beaten to death already? How many threads have already discussed this? You're pretty ignorant if you think no one cares what the specs of the '16 Tacoma will be. Oh, and please explain how the old 4.0 L V6 was "manly" and the new 3.5 L V6 is "girly."

 

I dont care about the specs on the new girl motor. Check this einstein want to bet sales of the new girl motor go flat. not just cuz of a small motor but cuz the thing looks like a turd.

 

This

 

Some of it was, 181 hp and 375 lb-ft, no MPG yet though.

 

^This^ lol
People just can't get over the fact that Toyota went down from a 4.0 to a 3.5... I wouldn't care if the damn truck had a 1.6L 3 cylinder as long as it performed well. Bigger isn't always better... Look at Chevy's old 4.3L V6. While it is a decent motor, their current 3.5L in the Colorado far outperforms it.

 

Wow, a little grammar goes a long ways in trying to communicate one's thoughts to another person. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that your education was a little stunted.

 

Wow, nice comparison there. 4.3L 190 HP and 260 torque from 1994 to a modern 306 HP direct injected V6. How about we compare the 3.6L to the new 4.3L which has 285 hp at much lower rpm than the 3.6L and 305 torque at 3,900.

Seems to me that the 3.6L is better suited in a van or small SUV and there's a reason the 4.3L is in the bigger Silverado.

Dual VVTi 4.0L with a 6-speed auto > "new" 3.5L Tacoma.

 

Some people have to make up for inadequacies...I kinda wish they went back to making mini-trucks. Nothing to prove here.
