Got the November issue of Car & Driver today. Has a preview test of the 2003 4Runner. They don't like the color contrasting cladding. They tested a V8. Be interestins to see how the 6 performs since the 6 has more horses. The 6 is a brand new all aluminum engine with a timing chain, according to C&D. Has variable valve timing and variable intake geometry. The 8 is the same as the Sequoia, Tundra and Land Cruiser.


Some numbers

0-60 8.0
1/4 mile 16.4 sec @ 84 mph
Top speed 116 (governor limited)

 

I have been looking for specs (0-60, 1/4 mile, etc) on the 2002 4Runners. I am especially interested in seeing what the stock times are compared to the sport edition (which has the 4.10 gears). Does anybody know where I can find these numbers?
