Roll Me Over

It may, but you don't "feel" the torque till 3000 RPM, where my cousins 94' 4.0 ranger, you feel the torque from 1-4500 RPM, and it makes less torque than the 3.0.
Ridde me that.

I have to agree w/ Greg... On paper the 3.0 has a great torque range... But in the truck, the torque just doesn't seem there. In our old 4Runner (well modded 3.0), people actually asked me "do you KNOW how to drive a stick?" because the truck would bog so badly when starting out in 1st gear. That is, unless I rode the clutch, which I don't do. The thing screamed above 3K RPM's, but below that seemed very weak.
