Wow this thing is slow

I think I’m going to have a t shirt made after reading a few of these threads.

“There’s a TSB for that...”

Let em wonder.

 

Wrong.

 

Ok, Donald Trump

 

Just as fast if not a tad more then the 2nd gen in 0-60 and 1/4. Looking for a vet ?

https://www.zeroto60times.com/vehicle-make/toyota-0-60-mph-times/

Top speed for 1/4 is faster for 3rd gen than 2nd btw by abut 6-7 mph and pulling away.

Wonder if the times have increased due to the new TSB ?

 

Could someone upload a PDF of this TSB for download and print so that we can take to the shop.

 

Dumbest statement in this thread (no offence).

I am old enough to remember when the gutless/torqueless Toyota 3.0L V6 was the “big truck motor”. I drove a 90s Mazda B2600 4x4 with the same 2.6L engine in it as many Mitsubishi cars and Dodge minivans. Truck was very “trucky” for what it was.

So what exactly qualifies a gasoline engine as a “car motor” or “truck motor”.......guess what....nothing.....not a damn thing.

 

So being its faster than 2nd gen and tows faster whats it called in the 2nd gen ? Fisher Price interior included of course.
Old vintage technology ?

 

5.9 RT Dakota. Always had a soft spot for those.

 

My dealer screwed around with it. Even they were dumbfounded. Ended up giving me a '18 6spd Manual offroad at their cost with no destination cost added in and buying my '17 back for KBB. I basically was out no money. Much happier with the MT.

 

Iliked OP just for his handle.

That Zero to 60 Site seems kind of bogus, do they test using the same timing equipment in the same places by the same people? Reminds me of taking a vehicle to several different dyno's and getting very different HP And Torque results. Just a quick scan through Edmunds shows a 2014 Tacoma doing 0-60 in 7.7 while the same test run by the same people show a 2018 running 0-60 in 8.1. Seriously what difference does a fraction of a second make, instead of bashing on Tacoma's, why not just go out and enjoy what you have!

He might not understand that it’s a truck, not a sports car

 

so when u did the Test Drive the truck was fast, and as soon as u left the Dealerships driveway the truck became slow

 

Beats me .Not my problem. I load the bed with over 800lbs of gear and head to the hills every week. Never had power issues .

 

Pahah Woah. I have the same truck and mine goes! I was sold on the test drive. It's like it has a turbo or power band that kicks in at the right rpm. Shit kicks my 2014 up and down the street anyways

 

Lmao !!!!

 

I had a 2002 Dakota with the 4.7 (it was the new from the ground up 4.7, not the exploding one) and that thing went! 230hp and 290ft lbs of torque. Power to weight was awesome. Raced my dad in 2008 ram with a Hemi and beat him in a rough quarter. Not sure about a mile though

 

Just drive a Honda Ridgeline...

 

That’s the thread ender.....
