1700rpm

That’s ridiculous. Full torque and up at 1700pm?

 

Welcome to the world of modern turbos. Ford only beat Toyota there by a little over a decade.

 

not in other countries. toyota turbos have always been around.

 

Understood, but in an American context Toyota has essentially taken a 30 year hiatus from turbos.

 

Imagine driving the manual where you have full HP at 1700 rpm. I want to test drive this...

 

With the electric motor spinning it !

 

A turbo adds a lot more pressure to the small 4cyl engine. Wonder how long these engines will last

 

I think this is also true for the gas version too

 

Unfortunately you can’t get the manual with the hybrid version….

 

They have a history in other marquees of lasting just fine as long as the tune provides sufficient adjustments to align with the structure of the engine.

A turbo doesn't *have* to add a lot of pressure. My '96 300zxt was only about 5lb from the factory. Just enough for that 3.0 to occasionally snuff a small block 'Stang. Closed course naturally.

Lots of old Miatas running around with boost and no issues.

 

No matter. Gas version will still be a beast with peak power at 1700rpm

 

Most turbos require high octane so you’d probably have to run 93 in it so there goes your better fuel economy

 

I don't believe the tundra requires it. Only if towing, IIRC.

 

Quite an imagination as it doesn't exist:

You maybe cornfuzing with torque.

 

Sorry yes torque.

 

6500 lb tow capacity, not hybrid. No change really.

The hybrid can tow 6,000 lbs with a 1,709-lbs payload capacity.

With all that extra under the hood, why ? Ridiculous.

 

Tundra doesn’t require premium. Ford eco boost doesn’t require premium either.

 

Aftermarket, maybe.

OE, not very often

 

Current Gen can tow up to 6800lbs. What is the max payload for regular gas model?

 

do you know how a turbo works ?
