The 4-Cylinder Toyota Tacoma Is Completely Pointless


Congrats my 15 year old shit box non supercharged wbody had a V6 that made more HP.

Why compare a car engine to a 4 cylinder truck engine? Yes its apples to oranges, yes its car vs truck, and yes its 4 cylinder vs 6 cylinder.

However its 2015!!!!! Fucking 15 years newer under 200 Hp in a pickup is a downright shame IMO.
I didn't know ANY 4 cylinder on the market made such pitiful HP for a brand new vehicle.

Good lord did they pluck that engine out of a Scion Tc?

Go buy a Colorado or Canyon if anyone is looking at a Tacoma! :iorun:

Did you read the article? The V6 is less than 2k more and Im about 99.9999999999% ANY buyer would get that back on resale.................

Ohh not to mention its well over a 100hp more and the MPG penalty doesn't amount to shit.

I was just lookin at the spec comparison sheet and Ive never owned one.

But still my point is less than 2k for the V6 model and the mileage difference is next to nothing.

Im pretty certain the resale alone would get that 2k back.

ONLY reason I could see that 4 cylinder being a decent option is a 2wd reg. cab fleet vehicle. That's bare bones with nothing extra. Either way none of these supposed "mid" size trucks are very small anymore either.

A 4 cylinder 4 door truck with some options is going to be a heavy gutless wonder.

The 2.7 4cyl taco's are pure badass reliability.

Also, toyota has a habit of making very torquey 4cyl with there vvti. I challenge you to drive any 99+ 4cyl toyota and tell me you're not impressed with them.

Ill take an ext cab 4x4 2.7 5 speed please.

I actually just test drove one and loved it. 2.7 was fine power wise with the manual and 4.10's, felt a bit lackluster with the auto. I'd be using it as a work vehicle and putting tons of miles on that I don't want to or need to put on the F350.

I can also buy a 2015 2.7, 4x4, 6-Speed Access cab (ext cab) with a 6' bed, A/C, cruise, power windows and locks, touchscreen stereo, etc etc etc etc etc for $24,300 before rebates. Duplicate that with a Colorado and its $31,000. I could probably get the Taco for $21,000. I'm impatiently waiting for pricing on that exact truck as a 2016 though.

And thats how most are optioned. Manual work trucks. Not many on the lot with the 2.7 and auto. At least not when i worked there.

A 4cyl stick 4x4 taco is the ultimate all around truck.

And just for added commentary. I daily drive a 4.0 auto tacoma. Love it. Plenty of power, decent mpgs, drives nice yada yada.

But if i had a choice...it would be 2.7 with the 5 or even 6spd.

 

[Ear Rak]

Cliffs: 2.7 tacoma's are awesome. Anyone who says otherwise is either retarded or never driven one

 

[Yaj Yak]

this thread sucks

 

[BeerOrGasoline]

Have driven. Still hate. Gutless turdbox in stick or auto. I'll keep my oversized cowboy cadillac.




Ford Ranger with 2.7 EcoBoost yet!?

Such a majestic creature

If I was Ford, I would bring it back. Now would be the time.

I did read the article, you fuck. But like others have said...its Jalopnik....literally the tabloid of car reviews and reporting.

I have personal experience dealing with the vehicles. By that definition alone, I am more qualified to talk about them than jalopnik
