      It's not pure truth though, the old v6 reached a much lower peak tq at 4600rpms, the new L4 turbo reaches it at 1700rpm. He has the info exactly backwards, just fear mongering anti small displacement engine talk. Turbo technology has come a long way. All his info is based off 20+ year turbo tech pitfalls. There's next to no lag in newer turbo applications, especially with the miniscule levels of boost these truck turbos are putting out.

    All Toyota needed to do was keep the 6 cylinder and change the 6 speed slush box to an 8 speed or 10 speed transmission. The mileage and drivability quirks is because of the 6 speed transmission. Another idea is aluminum hood and doors as less weight equals more mpg as well. Hey, what do I know as an engineer. I must be wrong...

    Toyota will never struggle to sell trucks around the world. The Hilux is literally everywhere in Africa and Asia. Their 4-cylidner GD-6 engines are very reliable with decent comparative fuel consumption. Diesels are not as fast off the line but their mid-range acceleration is great and they've got loads of immediate torque so they can tow huge boat trailers. Toyota just needs to try sell their 2.8 L GD-6 engine in the US, you guys will love it.

      I'm South African. The GD-6 is diesel. It has good fuel economy for larger cars, good towing and performs well under load. Hybrids aren't popular for working vehicles or towing. Might be popular for urban folk with families who like to go on the odd road trip but the GD-6 a powerful and proven reliable 4-cylinder turbodiesel workhorse.

    The turbocharged engines used in modern pickups have much more low end torque then the larger displacement n/a engines. Scotty has it backwards when he says the new turbo 4 will need to spin at much higher rpm’s to tow. The 3.5 V6 in the Tacoma is most certainly not known for being a good engine for towing.
    I agree that they possibly will not be as reliable though, but at this point, that is only speculation.

    I saw a Toyota mechanic doing a one year review with his new Tundra on UA-cam. What stood out to me was when he said when towing his boat, the new V6 twin turbo Tundra got worse MPG than his old V8 Tundra did. He went on to say that when towing, the turbos were engaged the whole time. I took that as not good. Especially for people who tow a lot or carry large payloads. The more those turbos are having to run, the more wear and tear will be put on them leading to turbo failures and high dollar repairs. Toyota’s best days may be behind them.

Can't say anything about long-term or what it is like pulling a boat out a lake but the twin turbo had plenty of power on the road.

    This will probably make the old ones skyrocket in price. Consumer Reports says skip extended warranties or those for sale. Perhaps they could consider making a hybrid that would produce the same power as the old engine but with less cylinders. Not ideal but might work for some and they could improve on it over the years.

    The 3rd gen Atkinson has so many complaints of low end torque. New Tacoma will have plenty of low end grunt. I’m selling my 2.7 supercharged 2nd gen and buying a 4th gen.
    I disagree with Scotty on longevity. The electric motor will take strain off the engine so as with the Tundra we all have to wait on reliability judgement.

    Modesto Toyota wrote me up a financing contract on a Tundra. It was a 5.5 yr contract. But there was a small mistake with my personal information. The salesman apologizes and takes the contract back to fix it. I'm presented the contract again with the mistake fixed. I sign the deal. After a few months, I noticed on my payment bill that I had a 6yrs. loan. They slipped it past me when they rewrote the contract. $880 x 6 = $5,280 rip-off. I will not ever do business with Toyota again.

    I had v8 tundra. Sold it with 200,000 miles. No issues with it. I then bought Subaru ascent with boxer 4 cylinder. Same story, excellent power and reliability. Sold it and bought Honda odyssey with v6. Same story and is super too. No power issue. In my view, it does not matter v4.v6 or v8. All great and well suited for the road. I would have zero issue with anything Toyota sells. It works.
