what i was trying to say was that between the two motors (22re vs 3vze) no other engines or car makers. that strait up i think the OP would enjoy the 22re and be much happyer with it. now because some how this thing got thrown at other car makes for some reason? i would much rather have a 3vze pickup or 4runner than any other mid size truck or suv on the market. so don't think im going outside of toyota here lol. since i have had two 3vze's close to me and one 22re so far, i find right away the 22re much better and my 22re has way more millage and mine was treated like a pos before i got ahold of it lol. sorry if a couple of you where offended by me calling the 3vze "junk" or "crap", it just seamed appropriate at the time lol.

only thing i do NOT like about the 3.0
MPG's...i've heard power of a small V6, thirst of a V8.
when mine gets running though, i'm going to be on the quest for getting 20mpg's or better out of it (highway mpg's)!!!
gonna be running 285x75's with aluminum rims, although the tires are heavy load range E's. it's got 4.56 gears..thinkin about 4.88's or 5.29's..i'll be going 35's in the future..if i regear it'll be 5.29's...i've heard going from 4.88's from 4.56's is pretty much not worth it.
it's also getting bumpers front and rear..(either badland basher tube front, or custom
, and a marlin rear), smittybuilt XRC10 on the front with synthetic line,
other than those things, it will likely have a snorkel, some kragen HID's on the front, rear 100w reverse lights, Optima red top (i believe...lol), two Alpine Type R 12's in a ported box, 1800w amp.
i'm wanting to do dual batteries, but i doubt i will, but a high power alt. WILL happen
sorry for the long post..just showing what my 4runner will have on it when i try to achieve my 20mpg's...i know it's probably not going to be easy...well fact is..it WON'T be easy.
i want to make as many of the mods i can compatible with the 3.4L 5vz as well, because one of those will be getting swapped in within a few years.
the ONLY reason i rebuilt the 3.0...was because it WAS SUPPOSED TO BE quick, and cheap....well for the money i've spent, i could have swapped a 3.4.....
but i've learned a lot about my 3.0, so i feel it's worth it in a way.

but not with the 35's i plan to go with
i shoulda mentioned that, lol i'll edit the post.
just to let you know though, in YOUR situation (33x13.50's, V6, Auto) 5.29's would be pretty great for ya.
