I'm confused on your specs, last time someone posted torque Vs RPM curvers here, the 3.0, being an undersquare longer stroke motor, made more torque at lower revs. In fact it has more torque at idle than the 2.4 did at peak. It sure drives like it does.



Sorry, I was posting specs for the 22RTE turbo motor, not the normal 22RE. All of the motor specs can be found in 4x4Wire's Toyota FAQ.

I rode along with Patrick last weekend in his pickup that has a basically stock 22R (it does have a header and exhaust) and we did 80 mph down the freeway without any problems. He is running 5.29s with 35" tires and was turning about 3400 RPM.


I believe it. I think in a pick up, it's different. I think in a 4runner, add tires, bumpers, etc... there's more to pull and you feel it. I did not drive any 4 cylinder pick ups but as I said, just seeing the increase in my trucks performance with weight loss I'm sure it's much better.

And again, I can't stress enough, where you drive has a lot to do with it as well. SoCal is hilly and people hual butt.
