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.

THe only way to not bog her in 1st is to rev it to 3g's and drop the clutch <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> (no, i dont do that very often, heh)
