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

A street ready crew cab taco with a 12 or 13 second E.T .. Take my 45 or 50K.

 

You and maybe 15 other people in the USA, not worth Toyota's time to make it happen.

 

That stubby bed Access Cab concept had a 4.7 swapped in.

 

That a five foot bed on the AC? Wow. lol. Would be good for off road I guess.

 

Ok yeah, that's kinda awesome. I need 4 real doors so it's not for me....but it's still awesome!

 

Be a great play truck.

Kinda like an AEV Brute.

 

Man, all that trouble to stuff a v8 and they put a 4.7??? pfft.... 5.7L or go home. Light up the tires like a boss

 

Hold on ,,Toyota has a 900 H P 5.7

 

Even 4.7 v8 would be better than 270 hp (+-6 at like 6000 rpms). ricer, from minivan.
Now Tacoma will sound like Civic.

 

LOL.... ok

 

7 GR hasn't been in a minivan...

 

Honestly don't remember basing my truck purchase on how it sounded

 

LOL

Toyota can't even get their concepts right.

 

Oh, well you bought wrong then.

 

Off topic but, same handle on ls1gto.com? Your handle looks familiar

 

A Mexican website claims 270HP.

Too bad the article was written on January 13, 2015, before any details were released of the new truck. What probably happened is the Mexican author pulled the HP number off the 1GF-RE Dual VVT that's going in the 2016 Hilux. The 2016 Tacoma is getting the 7GR.

 

Also worth noting is that (at the wheels) the Colorado 3.6 actually makes about 20 lb-ft less then our current 4.0 across the entire power band. We peak at around 220 and it barely breaks 200 if I remember correctly.

 

That 270 HP number is probably very close, on another forum non US spec for 7 GR came out to 276 HP, and we know US spec engines do get lower HP. . That would mean new engine is way below updated 1GR . and way below Colorado.

 

Who knows. With modern engines the Rev limiter has more to do with HP than anything else. If the engine makes 270 HP but gets most of it's torque by 2500 rpm then it'll still spank the Colorado.
