One thing you could change

Look again. The HP numbers from the 4runner and tacoma are almost the same.

 

Nah, it's just something that seems easy to fix though lol. Kinda on the same difficulty level as engineering a third brake light that doesn't leak lmao.

 

Really? You could take the worst current engine from any major manufacturer and assuming proper maintenance and no major abuse, I bet well over 95% of those engines make it past 150k.

 

Sorry man, he was aiming at me with some sarcasm lol

 

Lol, right on. Just quickly cruising through this thread.

 

Now if I said 200k It wouldn't be sarcasm!

 

270 for the 4Runner, 278 for the Tacoma. 278>270. And, again, they're geared differently because they have different applications. The Tacoma can also tow 1500 lbs more than the 4Runner despite the 4Runner having higher torque and "almost the same horsepower."

 

Your gonna nitpick 8 hp lol. Grasping at straws on that one....

The 4runner also has 10 more foot lbs of tq.

 

Not really. There's a few high mileage threads on there and some members are approaching (or past) 200k. Given that this engine has only been in the truck since 2016, 200k would be like putting 40k per year on the truck. I drive far more than most and only do about 25k per year.

 

Well, the T4R IS a fat bastard though. That girth is cutting into the tow rating no doubt..

 

Read the rest of my comment. And yes, last I checked 278 is indeed more than 270.

 

A little, but not 1500 lbs worth.

 

I didn't see that because you edited it.

 

In my test drives, I drove both versions back to back. Both manual. I think the 3.5L is the better engine. I found the 4.0L a little on the anemic side. The 3.5L feels more alive and happier to rev.

 

Nothing like a good ol TW 2nd vs 3rd gen shitshow lol.
Reminds me of.. uh, well every day since 3rd gen rollout.
You'd think it would just get old.
Nope.

 

It was there before your reply posted though.

 

LOL you are really trying here.

 

Whatever makes you feel better

 

lol I think you have the 3rd gen brain fog. Spending 40k for mid size truck has got you thinking its the best thing since sliced bread.

 

ha! This guy is here again…

So you hate your truck so much that you need to come in 3rd gen forum and say how great 2nd gen is?

Just stop man. We all know 3.5 tows more and has more power. You salty suckend genners make me laugh.
