Hey guys and girls,

I just had a general question about 96+ 4runners and the 3.4.

Im considering selling my 94 ext cab, and getting a 96+ 4runner. Meaning I want more seating for all my friends and I want the 3.4.

So I guess my question is, how much of a dog will the comparison be if any, going from a 3.0 5-speed pickup to a 3.4 auto 4runner. Will I be happy with the power difference or will it feel about the same? Im kinda curious about this seeing that the 4runners are heavier.

Thanks for any input people post up.

{EDIT} ohh ya, if anyone is interested in a 94+ 4x4 5-speed ext cab. PM me. I'll probably post it up in the for sale section in a little bit.
Yotatech-ers get first priority....

 

Casey, don't know about a 5 speed, but going from a 3.0 auto to the 3.4 auto is a world of difference. The best way to tell is to test drive and then decide. By the way, I believe the 96 3.4 is under the head gasket, rear suspension and fuel gage either recall or TSB's. Do a search and then find out if they have been done to it.

 

You will definately notice a huge difference and if you don't get enough, there is always the possibility of adding a S/C and the URD fuel mods.

If that still doesn't do it for you....you need to pony up and buy this:

Ya wow!! I saw that motor the day he posted it...

Talk about some serious power. I wish I had the duckets for that..

Anyway thanks for the input. Im going to go and test drive a runner later this week.

If you plan on doing any offroading, consider looking at 3rd Gen models with the factory installed e-locker.

 

which, to help narrow it down for you was available on 96-00 models.
