So Toyota is wussing out on the Engine, dang it. 270HP but add gearing

Variable displacement is usually shutting off a few cylinders. The variable valve timing plays some role in that but I haven't looked into it very closely. I can tell you definitively that the Toyota system is not variable displacement, though.

 

I agree, didn't think it through. 70 lbs + each depending on moisture content. If it was presure treated I would think closer to 125 lbs - 150 lbs each and would have it delivered if possible.

 

Thats a cummins truck right?

 

Honda has the variable cylinder management aka VCM aka variable cylinder displacement. I read a lot of issues with it. In fact there's a class action lawsuit pending with Honda about the VCM. I'm concern that the new 2nd gen Ridgeline is getting a "newer" version of this setup. I hope it is better then the last version.

 

You guys both have me on ignore or something ? I said it was 1500lbs and WRC

 

well thats 1500lbs canadian, its different

 

With 5-6 weeks of retooling it's not going to start production until August

 

I'm a teacher. My 16 taco will be a work truck

 

Can 270 Canadian hp haul 1500 Canadian lbs?

 

Nope. Not even close. We'll be lucky if this truck can make it to the store and back.

 

What is it in Stones?

Cool, thanks!

 

It's an Atkinson style engine, better fuel economy but more moving parts since so many people like to bitch and have horrible MPG Threads. Congrats they listened to the bitching and gave you your better MPG NOW YOU BITCH ABOUT LESS HORSEPOWER.

 

Is this how Americans justify obesity?

 

The total force of gravity pulling you down is higher in Canada than in the states. We are closer to the equator and have a higher centrifugal force which lowers gravities effect on us

 

Smokin weed and ridin my unicorn.... Which by the way has more torque than your horse powers.
