2.7L power

Someone posted a comment poo-pooing the power output of the 2.7L 4-banger. I've been driving a 2010 2.7, MT, for 135,000 miles and have been quite pleased. (Remember its more power that Toyotas first V6) Granted it's not a V6, however it does quite well and I average 22 mph on the highway. Interestingly I did notice a considerable improvement in power after about 25,000 miles. I'm running 235/85-16 LT's so the ratio is pretty tall. My only complaint is that they could have made 1st gear a bit lower as starting on a hill can be tough, certainly would not want to do it with a trailer or other heavy load. As for the same power as a Camry - I also have a 2010 Camry (4-banger with a 6 speed manual). No comparison as the weight to HP Ratio is way different. The Camry will beat the pickup in multiple ways...Especially mileage where I get 35-40 on the road.

Hmmmmm.. My slightly modded v6 gets 21

 

incorrect..... Last trip was up grades, 70avg..... Times of passing 4+ cars, crosswinds, and smoking a 370z at the track on way home....... Try again

 

U must never have seen my videos..... I beat the shit outta this truck

 

The truck is slow because it weighs over 4,600 lbs... My '94 GMC C3500 1Ton 7.4L V8 BB weighs just over 4,000...

 

that's cute.... Maybe because prerunner ac..... I don't know, and u can believe or not. Doesn't change the facts...... No butthurt here..... Ur not the first to call me a liar, and I won't even remember ur childish shit tomorrow..... Carry-on sweetheart

 

Toyota didn't build these for best mpg anyway.... They are pig rich.

 

X2. I agree with that. And if I really cared about MPG I'd be lining up for my 3rd Gen.

 

ALL MODS listed in build

 

Hi Justus. I was out of line with my post earlier and I am sorry for it. It was not cool and I regret it. Guess I was just not thinking as my MPG is so much lower than yours it's been a sore spot for me (of course I know why mine is what it is - my fault for the mods I've done).

So, please accept my sincere apologies for my behavior. You're obviously passionate about your Tacoma, as I am, and I'm sure you know it as well as I know mine. And I had no right to 2nd guess you on that. Your right I didn't even know it wasn't a 4WD. My bad.

 

accepted....posts deleted that referred to you... Let's move on..... Have a great evening sir

 

Nice to see some folks acting like adults and being civil to each other.

I'd think most people would get Pulled over for driving that slow on the highway
