    This 2.7 def wakes up in the threes. I had a 2.4 that wasn't into it. Most other cars I've driven weren't either (I thought anyway) and so it's just something I got used to. Fun as hell actually, tearing ass across the landscape in a 4 banger relaxing at 3.5

    I believe they have a couple different gears...depending on your tranny and setup.

    I will be honest with you...I went to the dealership and walked right by the 3rd gen Tacomas and went right to there used lot for a Tundra. So I never did the research. I just knew I wasn't getting a New tacoma.

    By the way...it's not that I dislike the new tacomas...I just needed a full size...so I wasn't hating.
