You can get that info from Toyota's web site.   http://www.toyotapartsandservice.com/smg/pdfs/auto_truck_service_- 00.pdf   has the complete info for a 2000, but you can also request it for just a specific mileage.   Steve.   Steve.

Thank you very much - that is exactly what I was looking for! I went ahead and printed out the truck portion so I'll be able to figure it out later.
#220 of 538 RE: magnaflow muffler by chorton Feb 03, 2004 (10:29 am)
I got the 1 in, 2 out system, It's not REAL dual exhaust, but I LOVE IT! It keeps sounding better with age. The gas mileage is up to about 21mpg hwy! my all around mileage is about 17mpg. Took it off roading a few weeks ago, that exhaust really sounds good when there is a slight strain at 2k-3k rpm. I put the dual pipes out both sides between the back tires and the rr bumper so it would look as close to factory as possible. The power increase is mostly at hwy speeds, but itr seems to have taken about 1/2 to 3/4 of a second off my 0-60 time. it's still around 10 seconds though. My White 00 Tacoma X-cab SR5 V6 Auto came with the 3:9 rear end(bought it used w/48,000 miles). I wish it had the 4:1. But the 31/10.50's seem to do fine even without it. does anyone here have any advice on finding a USED 4:1,maybe at a junkyard or somthing. with the locking diff? That would top it off!!!
#221 of 538 It's almost here! by sc0rpi0 Feb 04, 2004 (8:57 am)
Here's a pressrelease for new Tacoma X-Runner (replacement for S-Runner) 2005. http://pressroom.toyota.com/photo_library/display_release.html?id- - =2004tacoma-xrunner_r   And it's got the new 4.0L V6.....240hp, 285lbs/ft. Ford Ranger, eat your heart out
#222 of 538 05 Tacoma Don't like it by moparbad Feb 04, 2004 (9:28 am)
I do not like what I see. Maybe when the 4WD model is unvieled it will look better. Also, Frontier 05 will have 4.0-liter DOHC V6 producing 250-plus horsepower and 270-plus lb-ft of torque and looks to be competive in every way to Toyota. Glad I have my 03 Tacoma SR5 4WD. Only items I would want are the new engine and rear doors.

Well I have mixed emotions on what I saw. I to hope the 4wd unit will look better. As far as the V6 goes, great, but what about a V8??? If they really wanted a sports truck, then they should have shoved a V8 in there and for an added bonus, the super charger! I am not one for hood scoops, so that just turned me off. I do like the basic looks of the truck though. I like the size increase but to knock Dodge and the Dakota out of the ring, a V8 will be needed. Also, I hope they offer the 6ft bed with the crew cab. If not, I will look at the Frontier or hang onto my 98 x-cab until the wheels fall off!

The pictures show what is essentially an S-Runner: a lowered model. So 2WD model would sit few inches taller, and 4WD would be even taller. On the 6th, there'll be pictures of other models available from Toyota or TTORA guys around Chicago.
#225 of 538 05 Tacoma is going to perform!! by chorton Feb 04, 2004 (4:26 pm)
I dont the v8 is a MUST in the new x-runner. If you look on paper some tests show the 02 tacoma s-runner (3.4L 5-sp) was faster 0-60 than the dakota 5.9 r/t. Its all about the gearing and power-weight ratio. I do hope the v8 will be offered in the d-cab prerunner or 4x4 for towing purposes. If you pay attention, in the 4runner that 4.0 V6 boasts 10 more hp than the 4.7 V8 (235/245). but the torque diffrence is only about 18 ft lbs, (282/320). I dont think it will be a sluggish truck at all since the 4.0 is paired with a 6-speed man. tranny!!! I cant wait to see pics of the rest of them!!!
#226 of 538 Toyota has a video of the introduction. by sc0rpi0 Feb 06, 2004 (6:21 am)
The guy talked about 0-60 times of 7 sec, and 6 sec with TRD blower.....which I haven't heard of yet, but it looks like it'll be available eventually. Also, he said that truck pulls 0.9g on curves, beating 350Z in roadholding.   I was going to buy a 350Z couple years from now......we'll see.   chorton: 320-282=38 lbs. However, a whole lot of that 320 torque is available a lot sooner than on the V6. iForce V8 was never a race engine, it's for towing. If Toyota wanted to give Taco a V8, they'd have to beef up the suspension pretty good.
#227 of 538 SCORPIO......Exactly my point!!! by chorton Feb 06, 2004 (12:02 pm)
