A v8 taco?

[TexasWicked1]

I may need to scrap my 4 runner, it has the 4.7L V8. Would it be possible to put this engine in a Tacoma? This is a great engine and would like to reuse somehow.
Thanks
Bert

Isn't the Tacoma and 4Runner built off of the same chassis?

Yeah, I was trying to make funny, but missed the mark. 6grand is a lot of weight. With a trailer of that weight I would think there would trailer brakes on it, right? I don't know if TT come with brakes are not.

Yes it has brakes.

I’ll see how it pull, the tow packages has a bigger radiator, trailer brake controller transmission cooler, bigger brakes, and more torque.

I have a 2018 Tundra.......set of the pants, the Tundra is crazy. BUT!!!!! F150 has the numbers. I do miss my F150.

Did you have the big eco or the 5.0??

The co. just put me in an 18 5.0 crew long bed & I'm really digging it...jumped in it right after bownanza & have 6300mi on t already. Will be interesting to see how it handles this heavy trailer vs my old 3/4 6.0 GM for the overhaul starting Monday.

It has the 10 speed tranny & with a 36gal tank, I am getting over 600mi out of a tank!! Cannot tell you how cool this is when you live in your truck.

We do love ours lol but a mansion it’s not.

They are much nicer than 5-10 years ago though.

Just kick the Toyota to the curb and buy a real truck... I know a good Ford dealer...

Go away NJ! };p

Yeah , Toyota owners never really get to know their dealers, only have to go to one about every 350,000 miles.

I know that’s right!! Unlike the Jeep and ford ladies

Lord please forgive those that have no idea what they are talking about and give them the strength and wisdom to keep their mouths shut. Amen.

Supercharger on the Taco is the way to go.

I had one on my 99 with the 3.4 v6. It pulled a little over 300RWHP on a chassis dyno after a little tuning .

I imagine that today’s engine will do even better.
