#21 of 1965 Dealers by got1b Apr 01, 2004 (11:39 am)
Its really sad, I went to a dealer and specifically asked for someone who was knowledgable about Tacoma's and 4 Runners. The New Tacoma comes out this fall and should be equipped with the 4.0L in the 4 Runner. The "expert" new nothing about the new Tacoma, come on, its only 6 months away... Atleast Nissan has pictures of their new vehicle and you can price it out. Anyway, it wasn't until the salesman asked the Director of sales if he knew anything. He was the one who mentioned the new engine for this fall. I'm not sure if he received info from Toyota or learned his information on the web. So its really hit or miss. The best thing would be to go to a dealership and ask around.     Has anyone heard how big the new engine might be and how much horsepower it will have? I hope it comes in the standard configuration w/o dulies. It will be a hard choice between the Tundra and new Tacoma
#22 of 1965 '05 Tundra DC Options by kywildcat1 Apr 05, 2004 (4:25 am)
I'm wondering if the '05 will be available with a larger engine, and the 6 spd manual I've read the rumor of.

I've been wondering that same question myself. I've been told that Toyota does plan to increase the motor in the currently Tundra, but the biggest question is when. With the newly re-designed Tacama set for release later this summer, with a bigger engine, one would have to assume that the Tundra will have a bigger engine in its 2005 model. I had planned to purchase a Tundra Double Cab this year, but I may wait until if the Tundra will have the bigger engine in 2005. I do know that Tundra will be re-designed, but I believe Toyota will be building it at its new San Antonio plant, once it opens. I believe that will be in 2006. I can't imagine Toyota waiting until 2006 to build the Tundra with more horsepower and torque.
#24 of 1965 2005 Tundra by rosey4 Apr 21, 2004 (8:30 am)
Any news of the 2005 Tundra? I have been wondering if the Tundra will be built with a larger engine, perhaps a 5.5 or 5.6 engine, with over 300 horsepower. Then I hear the current 4.7 engine will be added with a variable valve timing for next year. Replies to this message: orangeman64 (Sep 17, 2004 3:22 pm)

I have been searching forums and newsgroups about the Tundra with the big engine and the common theme so far is of the new Tundra to be built at the new San Antonio plant. With the new plant not operational till 2006, I think we will see the new Tundra as a 2007 model.    I for one am eagerly waiting for the 5+L engine.

Replying to: Sylvia (May 17, 2004 4:55 pm) It's almost June. When are we going to hear anything about the '05 DC. I would really like to know when it's going to hit the streets and if there are going to be any changes from the '04.
#28 of 1965 05 DC by tedshinners May 20, 2004 (1:53 pm)
The 05 DC will keep the 4.7l but get vvt for a horsepower boost into the 280's. Also will get a five speed transmission and dash changes. No side airbags. Go to tundrasolutions.com for more info. Likely will be available in September. Replies to this message: uwahusky (Jun 03, 2004 8:56 am) manukumar (Aug 15, 2004 3:45 pm)

Replying to: tedshinners (May 20, 2004 1:53 pm) If they are getting an additional 40 hp out of the same engine, doesn't that essentially mean they're just testing the HP at a different RPM? It's hard to believe they are getting that much more hp out of the exact same engine.
#30 of 1965 Engine HP by avalon02wh Jun 04, 2004 (3:20 am)
Toyota should have no trouble getting 40 more hp from the 4.7L. My Avalon gets 210 hp out of a 3.0L V6. That works out to 70 hp per liter. The 4.7L engine could get 329 hp at 70 hp per liter. Never have understood why truck engines are always way down on the hp curve versus cars. I know that truck engines are designed to produce more torque at low rpms, still, I would think they could do better. It probably helps that Ford, GM and Dodge are having a bit of a hp war with their trucks. Replies to this message: jdelabre (Dec 28, 2006 2:11 pm)
