I test drove a 22re 5-speed second gen runner and it was a bit gutless so I figured the 3.0 would have some more ass to it. I want the 4 door so a gen 1 is out. I don't want to take out a loan so the gen 3 is out... gen 2 it is. I'm not looking for a speed demon. I beleive the bulk of 3.0 power is on the lower to mid range right? Sounds good for low speed wheeling and highway cruising.. Can't be sure till I get behind the wheel of the 3.0 5-speed.
Preciate the input fellas. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I'm between toyotas right now... 3rd Gen 4-runner soon.
