what is the top speed of a 1999 tacoma xtracab 2.4l i4 automatic transmission with RWD

 

Top speed is a good question. How long it takes to get there is very easy. Forever!

 

82

 

thanks

 

+- 36 MPH if you hold it in 1st and floor it. (and run Sunoco 103 octane AVgas.) If it has a rev-limiter: 38 MPH tops

OK: Serious: Maybe 85. But I wouldn't try it in 25 year old truck. Straight off the cliff, this one is probably descending at 28 mph. Aerodynamics is everything.

Welcome to TacomaWorld. Post us some pics!

Less then the speed rating of the factory tires.

 

110 falling out of an airplane

 

Well, 0-60 is Thursday.

 

I think you’re short 10mph

 

my 01 2.4 xtracab automatic has allegedly went over 90 on the highway.

 

Get used to cruising in the right lane bud haha

Welcome to TW!

 

just bc i was on a tollway in TX where speed limit is 85mph.......i got my 96 2rz up to 86-88
i would let off go pedal and would slow down 15mph on the hwy overpasses(poor aero)

that is when she started overheating also!
70mph back....no issues

 

Speed is limited at the computer at 105mph, it cuts fuel then.

 

oh yeah i got loads of room!!

after i get new rad installed
lol

 

>>>that is when she started overheating also!
70mph back....no issues<<<

You have been warned. (by her) That overheating is the secret: "old-school early warning system" talking to you.... she's not happy. Stick to saying under 48 mph....
Keep it up and she will stall and refuse to re-start for seven days. Ignore that and the leaking fluids will start showing up with the big bills to repair.

 

Love the reference!^^^^
That’s when she is telling you something!
Epic!
Instead of now a days……idiot lights on cluster

naw, was just testing limits after 9 months of over due engine maintenance done to the Taco
I got a sports car to break the law

it’s actually perfect….as far as top speed/power goes for the taco….
Getting her tip top for 15yr old son’s first vehicle

you GD know……if Son comes back at me and says “truck overheating Dad”
I know he was dogging it!!!!

 

Just pop the hood and check the coolant expansion bottle. (if so equipped) If he was wailing on it and she "warned him" by blowing off enough coolant to fill it to the cap, or she over-flowed it: you'll know... (and he will know you know...) You won't have to say a word: just close the hood. (Just like my Dad knew I knew what he knew 50 years ago.) 1970 Ford Mustang SportsRoof sleeper in "Calypso Coral" with color matched steel wheels and dog-dish hubcaps, and a 351 Cleveland V8 under the hood.) (His car, not mine.) uh-oh

 

You'll be airborne well before you you ever hit 105 mph.

 

my man
I like your style
My 1st car….ummm parents car I could drive….
74 Torino Wagon 351 Cleveland!!!!

kudos
The race friends said exact same thing as you about coolant reservoir after initial overheat(not terrible, but I noticed idiot gauge go up where it’s never been before)
Lil low on res level but coolant bad rusty brown and probably 25yr old rad(clogged)
Crap, that reminds me need to update my flush thread….
