taco faster than 4runner
I had a 2000 tacoma x-cab trd 4x4 3.4L manual and 140k that i sold and then bought my current 1997 4runner 4x4 3.4L manual w/110k. I feel like my truck had a lot more balls in the speed department. Especially up steep grades, my taco would fly. The tacoma could increase rpms faster. I love the extra space in my 4runner and the turning radius but i miss the power. Obviously both drivetrains are very similiar, perhaps the 4runner just weighs more. Any personal experience or thoughts?

My brother always kicks my ass when we take off His 2002 Taco vs. my 2002 4Runner. Hes on 35's Im on 33's still faster! It sucks for sure but before he had the 35's he also had 4:30 gears vs.my 4:10's

Well, i have given up on MPG, i'm getting anywhere from 9-14, so it's really not an issue, it's kinda too late now. It's awful, I know I should be getting better MPG, my rig aint THAT built, oh well.

Actually my 03 runner gets better mileage than my 07 taco... both 4.0 and the taco is a DC ... aerodynamics play a role.. not sure about 96-02, but the new runners get better mileage... thou both are pretty darn fast. Havent raced them, but the 03 has a 4spd and 4:10, where the 07 has a 5spd and 3.73's.
