Well, here I go splitting hairs... would you constitute a 302 ford as a 4.9 liter? You could, but that is not the way anyone in the functioning automotive world does it.


As for others comments on the taco, I believe they did have a turbo version of the 22re. I was never looking for an over-powered truck, it just wasnt helpful that as soon as you loaded anything in it you couldnt merge with traffic at a reasonable speed (or at least it took a full foot of throttle to get there). Even 25 more hp would have made a big difference. Altogether, the new Tacoma could never have done some of the things that my 1989 could, and my 1989 could do all the things a new one can (as far as usefulness is concerned). I can say this about the newer trucks, working on them sucks. You need a topside creeper to work under the hood to avoid damaging the shoulder high fenders and grill.
