3rd Gen VS 2nd Gen VS 1st Gen drag race

For all those clamoring for a drag race and head to comparison. The fast Lane Truck went ahead and did it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbmOYTMirrw

 

Aww yeah that 2nd gen though.

 

everyone always races 50ft.

 

Looked like about 1/8 of a mile to me and the 2nd gen had already pulled away by more than a full truck length. After driving both I can beleive that.

 

That's not an 1/8th mile. With no tree or timing system, I'm not going to put much faith in that "race"

 

Fast Lane Truck did a good video for a change. Thanks for sharing.

 

Mini van engine?

 

Is this really surprising? Gen 1 is some 600 lbs lighter than the others. This short of a race only shows that the 4.0L has more low end. A 0-90 mph race would be way different.

Out performs 2gen in towing.

 

Drag race @ 4:00

 

Compared to the 4.0 soccer mom engine?

 

When they check mpg after the 98mile roundtrip, they put 4.397 gallons in the 2015 tank and 4.406 in the 2016. That should be 22.29 mpg for the 2015 and 22.24 for the 2016.
Why did they say 20.73 for the 2015?

 

Seems to be the trend on TW recently.

 

For 2016 bed? (thx R.L. )

 

So now 2nd gen gets better mpg? Maybe 3rd gen should be Gen 1.5. Thanks Mike Sweers.

 

You are a monster!

 

Woah.....is that a stab at the 4runner? You cant be serious.

 

I'm not sure if that's true, but that's what it looked like from the video.

 

If you look at their web page they answer that in the comments. That was the end of the first click, they then do a 2nd click where it takes in a lot more fuel. Thus equating to their final numbers.
