Can someone tell me what engine this is?

What engine is this ? 2015 V6 according to the dealer.. but this doesn’t look right . Is this a turbo? A 2.7?

 

Look like a v6 to me, I see 2 valve cover. Should be a 4.0. Definitely not turbo but a cold air intake. It's missing the plastic engine cover.

 

V6 with an intake, no plastic cover and not an off-road if that matters to you.

 

typical 4.0L V6 with a cold air intake installed and missing the top costmetic engine cover.

 

agree with the above, you can see two banks of cylinders. Definitely a V6.

 

1GR-FE minus the oem engine cover plus an aftermarket intake.

 

How can you tell it’s not an off-road?

 

Off-road's had the electronic brake booster and the truck in the picture has a vacuum one.

 

Do you know if sports w/ tow package have electric or vacuum?

 

That’s an engine you walk away from if youre buying used…..

 

vacuum assist.

 

Because...?

 

previous owner probably beat on it

 

Why? because it has an intake and CAI? maybe the previous owner liked to show it off or wanted to be cool? I wouldnt dismiss a vehicle with a CAI and aftermarket intake..look at the wheel wells for built up excess rubber from burnouts, then maybe Id walk away...but who does burnouts in a Taco?

 

Or just wanted to have a non-weird air filter, or an intake without a huge 'muffler'?

(I bought the TRD intake, pretty much just because it used a factory-Toyota-sized filter, so I could get a dry washable filter)

As luck would have it, I also somehow managed to run over my engine cover when I had it off, while I was debating whether I wanted to bother putting it back on... at least it answered that question for me.

 

This truck could be a TRD Off road PRERUNNER. (2wd) and have the vacuum assist.

Only 09+ TRD OR 4x4's, and VERY FEW 05-08 6 lug trucks optioned with the rare VSC package came with the electric boosted master cylinder.

 

My truck is an Off-road. It does not have an electronic booster.

 

the electronic booster only came standard on 09+ offroads, before that I believe it might have been either an option or they just came with the same vacuum assist as the rest of the fleet.

 

Exactly. He said it was a 2015 that's why I said it wasn't a OR.
