I say it will be a good race. My mom has a 2007 4Runner with the 4.0. Very torquey little motor. The 4.0s also have a higher hp rating than the 5.9 did. Either way, have fun on the 1/4. Post your times.

the toyota is gonna win. i drove one last year and it had big tires (maybe 34") from the factory and i couldn't believe how powerful it was. it seemed like as soon as i hit the gas from a stop i was doing 50. then when i turned around and got on it doing 30mph i spun the wheels. so yeah, you're gonna lose unless you have motor and gear upgrades.

i just browsed that site a little and look what i found

The Yota will spank you. Sorry, dude, but it will.

My buddy drives a 01 Taco with over 200K on it and I drive a RCSB 5.9L 4X4 and his Yota embarrasses my truck.

Did it have the V6? Was it towing a trailer? Did the driver really know you were racing?










I kid, I kid. Those Tacos are quick though.
