Tacoma may get a 4cyl Turbo

2.4 Turbo, should see it debut in the 2021 IS350 (IS240?) next year. Hopefully we’ll get a pretty good idea of power numbers. It would be nice to see torque numbers above 300

 

Too much talking

 

I can chirp the tires in my 2.7

 

I ripped some one wheel peel the other day making a sharp turn. Felt like I was in V-Tech or something....

 

2026 tacoma owners: OMG the new Turbo 4 cyl is terrible, bring back the tried and true 3.5L v6. I used to get sooo much better mpg and torque way down low, so much better for towing!!! What is toyota thinking, this will fail!!!

 

And make it available in a MT OR DCLB

 

Honestly as my family grows i'm looking forward to a hybrid Tundra or even the twin turbo v6 tundra. Eventually i'll need to go up and i'd love either of those options. Those twin turbo V6 f150s get 20+ Mpgs and i'd kill for that on a full size Toyota

 

Seems like speculation, but the trend is towards turbo motors. If Toyota goes with a four cylinder turbo motor in the Tacoma in the near future, this forum will be livid!

 

Patience grasshopper. The V6 turbo Tundra is coming soon to a dealer near you.

 

Hopefully not direct injection

 

Same. I shut it off after 20 seconds, realizing there was like a lot of minutes left.

 

hahaha oh i know! Looking forward to seeing what Toyota does with the new design of the tundra for the 3rd gen

 

Barely anyone will believe this. Sadly.

 

I'll save you the 13+min of your life you're not getting back...2 bros driving around with a dash cam talking about rumors they are hearing and speculating about what Toyota is going to do with the Taco and every other SUV in their lineup. gimme a break

 

I think a nice inline 6 motor would be nice to have in a tacoma. Less horsepower and more torque that is produced comfortably and not overloaded like in a TOO SMALL turbo engine.

 

Heard of lots of turbo motors pinging at low RPMs because the engines are being made TOO Small causing overloading of the low and midrange RPM ranges. Potentially hurting longevity.

 

I don’t know .... my 1985 2.4 turbo is holding up pretty well after almost 35 years

 

Would have to have a longer hood to fit a straight 6 in but they do work well in trucks with the extra torque.

 

I can't imagine what my buddy Kevin would say if these things had longer hoods. He already makes fun of my truck for having a longer hood than bed

 

Wife had a Saab 9-3 and the turbo was awesome. I'd buy a 300 HP turbo Tacoma in a heartbeat. Probably get 25 mpg and run great.
