And the tacoma is gone.....

I love the 4runner. I wish it had a bed.

 

4.0<3.5+3500+4500= :0)

 

I’m no mathematician but that looks like it checks out.

 

Just messing hometown.

For me, the only place the 4.0 shined crazy was putting it in 4LO/Locker no ATRAC OR DHA, and it would crawl down like a robot without ever touching the brakes.

 

The 4.0 shines because they don't blow up as often as the 3.5

 

It’s weird cause the 3.5 is unstoppable in a Camry or Avalon, but they really don’t seem happy in a heavier lifted vehicle.

 

The fucked up something when they engineered it to work in the 3rd gen.

 

People on this forum will mock you for saying “truck engine” but the reality is that the 4.0 was engineered from the ground up to only be utilized in body on frame platforms and the 3.5 wasn’t. The 3.5 goes in unibody grocery getters.

 

Most Camrys don’t climb steep hills starving the oil pick up

 

Having both the 4runner shifts like butter and is always in the correct hear

 

More premium product?

 

Nice move!! I have owned tacomas first then switched to 4runner Pro. 2 of them. Now have my 21 tundra Pro. After having all three. If I would decide to downsize I would go back to a 4runner. The Tacoma does not suit me if I made the move. All depends on your needs.

 

My nephew picked up a 2022 4R TRD OR, and when I got a peek inside…the look of the transfer case shifter alongside the transmission shifter looked absolutely amazing It screamed craftsmanship.

Why did Toyota’s bastard child get the knob…

 

Jumped ship a few months ago. No ragrets. Just know tires MUST be road force balanced within spec or you're going to get the wobbles at 60mph.

 

No manual transmission in the 4Runner? That would be a deal breaker for me.

 

Should have kept the Tacoma wheels.

 

I’m lifted, on 33s and carry about 650# of additional weight. Have absolutely zero issues with power, plenty of torque below 3k RPMs.

Running premium SFOB tune on 94E0, truck drives amazing, while getting advertised MPGs if driving conservative.

 

Who would have guessed that this would turn into a 3rd Gen bashing thread? Go figure!

 

Most 4R guys don't know how to drive a stick, so it works for them.

 

We also have a Tacoma and 4Runner in the driveway, the wife drives a 2021 SR5 Premium.
