New 4th Gen Tacoma/4 runner Engine

I am going to go out on a limb and say...this is going to be the new 4th Gen Tacoma and 4 Runner engine..

Turbos are awesome..............on a diesel

 

I don't think anyone expects the V6 to carry over.

 

It won't for sure, Toyota said that a couple of years ago. I think this will be the engine, I don't expect them to build a different 4cly turbo just for the tacoma/4 runner. At least we will get a year or more of the engine in the Highlander to see any common issues.

Curious if they tune it for the Tacoma/4runner for more torque or HP. I am sure one or both of those numbers will change.

I do like some of the old school technology they put into the new engine, they moved away from a few electrical bits for mechanical etc. And lets hope the turbo is serviceable/replaceable without pulling the engine. It should be, I would think there would be more room under the Tacoma/4 runner hood than the highlander, and you can replace it without engine removal on the Highlander.

It also seems like they are avoiding a few things that caused the Tundra Turbo fiasco all together with this engine, which is also a good thing.

 

Yes

 

Not to the mechanic!!!

 

turbo anything to make em' have a short lifespan...

 

Since the 4th Gen Taco will share the Tundra Platform, l doubt the current 3.5 would even bolt up.

 

EV Taco will be next.

 

That will be in addition to the Turbo 4 offering...no way they will send out a new tacoma with EV being the only choice.

 

No more Camry engine?!

 

No

 

Maybe?
