I4, V6, V8, or diesel?

if they don't put a diesel in the Tacoma soon, I will be buying a diesel car. Most likely a 335D.

 

look into priuses

i hear they get good gas milage

 

I chose V6 because I wish I had one.

 

actually I hear $500 early '90's Honda Civics get better mileage, and don't look gay.

 

better buy the car now, it's not going to happen, ever.

 

I realized why the v6 is likely the biggest you'll ever see in the Taco after owning 2 of them. No need for more. It's got alot of torque and paired with a good transmission. It had NO problems towing my 4000 - 4500# travel trailer.

The limitations with the Tacoma is regard to towing isn't power, it's weight, length and width.

More engine = more weight = worse MPG and probably some compromise in the offroading department too for those who like to wheel.

I'd love to see a 4.5L duramax in my Silverado, but just like the Taco diesel, it's not gonna happen I don't think.

The good news? You can supercharge the Taco and it will solve all your problems but MPG

 

Wasn't that established in the last 4 trillion " I want a diesel Tacoma " threads ?

 

yeah, yet people still seem to get that tingle in the crotchall area thinking they'll be able to buy one some day

 

Because they are superior engines and get excellent economy. They burn a fuel that is one of the safest fuels around and isn't as affected by foreign oil supplies like gasoline is due to the fact that we can make it on our own. It is one of the engines that will still be around with all of the other alternative fuel engines. Gasoline engines are at risk for a huge phase-out with the exception of older gas engines in classic cars.

 

I didnt try to start a thread on diesels. This is a thread on your dream engine
for a tacoma. I know diesels will never be an option for the tacomas

 

Diesel, but my second choice isn't listed. It would be the 4.6L instead of the 4.7L.

 

And you can mod it up to your eyeballs and they will still get awesome mileage and go fast.
