New 4th gen Tacoma drag race vs 3rd gen

To be honest, I was a little disappointed in the performance of the 4th gen, even considering it is at altitude.

 

not truck races...jmho

 

It definitely should beat the Colorado.

 

Me too. The 2nd gen beat the 3rd gen when TFL raced them years ago. I bet it would be a close race with the 4th gen.

 

They are all slow as shit compared to a $45k 0-60 in 3.9 second F150 lightning.

 

The 3rd Gen smoked the 2nd Gen in TFL's towing test, the extra 42 horsepower helped.

 

Capital City RaceWay in Louisiana

I posted time slips almost 3yrs ago

 

Should, Colorado does beat it in towing capacity though, 7700 vs the Taco Hybrid’s 6000.

 

They should do drag races and see which one runs out of juice first.

 

I'm sorry, I was curious as to what truck it was.

 

The windshield-mounted devices (either GPS or accelerometer-based) are not directly comparable to dragstrip timing lights. All the TFL tests showed is relative performance, and at their elevation. For all we know all three TFL times could be off by 1.5 seconds compared to dragstrip timing.

 

I know that. I'm just stating my time which is much more precise. Their times are pretty much pointless especially with a single run sample size and at high elevation. Not to mention reaction time so end of race results can be manipulated. Put both tacos at sea level at the track, I bet there's no more than .3 separation max, maybe even identical.

 

Seeing the Colorado dusting the Taco I would think not.

 

Having had a bit of experience with drag racing, once upon a time, there are only 2 possible responses to this info......

1) didn't happen, or

2) that is an awesome time

Dunno which is right, but just wanted toss in my .02

Very faint, but @feb 2021.
Stock wheels/tires 3" lift, 1K miles

Those RT's.

 

That's the slowest 60 foot I've ever seen.

 

Gotta leave on the first bulb in that thing

 

Looks like the 4G sits a couple inches higher than the 3G?
