The 2.7L Single Cab Thread

Local Toyota dealer.
$412.37
(there are some parts that I will replace using only genuine Toyota parts)

 

Just purchased this. 2012 4x4 2.7 5spd. Has 17k miles. Paid a pretty penny for it. I hope it lasts me as long as my first 97 tacoma that has 295k miles.

 

17k? Things probably going to outlive you easy. Very clean truck, good find and welcome!

 

Damn awesome find!! I thought I got a deal on basically the same truck (2011) with 33k!

 

Gorgeous. Congratulations!

 

The new to me “Ranch Truck” before and after.

 

Nice RC welcome to TW!

 

I like it! Are you running a lift? It looks great with those tires and i love the black badges on silver!

 

Who here is running 33s with stock gears? How does it do pushing the bigger tires?
I currently have 265 75 16 (32s) and have approx 3 inches lift. Thinking about going bigger next tires and just wondering how everyone likes their 33s. Regearing isnt really an option for awhile unfortunately.

 

I'm running 305/65/17 which are roughly the same size as the 285/75/16 and it still tows my boats ok. The truck by itself is fine but towing on some hills takes a heavy throttle to maintain speed.

 

are you guys that just posted with larger diameter tires running autos or manuals?

 

I'll probably never regear due to expense, but my 285s drive fine with the 5spd. There is a noticeable power loss, but it's not detrimental. Just need to let the gears rev out a little and downshift more often than before.

 

I ran 33s for a while i can't imagine it will be too much different from the tires you are currently running...I even ran 35s with the stock gears for a couple months and it wasn't terrible just had to do a lot of down shifting

 

Mine is an automatic and I think the stock gears are 4.10's

 

I've been doing it for a while. I have 33x12.5r17 km3's, I live at a high elevation and have to drive up a gnarly 10 mile hill to get home from work every day. Still pulls up alright. Tires true measurements are 32x13.5

 

I believe most of us are manual. The autos I've driven seem to handle it better, but my 5spd does fine

 

Picked this guy up today.

 

I got myself a work truck. I was over beating my regular cab so hard being an iron worker, thing is rough around the edges but for 5k in HI I'm getting it for nothing. Has the notorious 3.0, but a nicely done SAS tons of flex and a rear locker, geared for 35's which is in the soon future. I plan on fixing it up, raptor line it army green with black accents and 35" cooper stt pros. Eventually I'll source a 3.4 and do a swap
