Which Toyota 4x4 Is The QUICKEST? Tacoma vs. 4Runner vs. FJ Cruiser Drag Race! 

I am surprised you two didn't switch vehicles on the new trucks. Maybe his loss was a driver thing? :) :D :P

hi! I got an 07 Fj with 150k miles and in sea level it does 7 sec to 60

Question of the day

Pathfinder 4.0 v6 would be faster

@@gmf62v84 pathfinder 0-100km in 8.9 sec and Fj Cruiser 0-100km in 7.8 sec

@@andrecruiser885 no pathfinder is 7.0-7.5 depending on altitude

@@gmf62v84 and if its going down hill with a wind speed of 100kmph behind it with 1%moist air in the beginning of summer at 7:30am

And as you know turtle wins the race

Depressing video 😳😂🤣. I wanted a Taco before seeing how BRUTALLY slow they are. Embarrassing!!!!!!!

Lol slow pokes

@@jakeberg6758 you don't get a taco because of speed, you get them because they last longer than any truck they keep their value

Ivan Ds You’re absolutely right, they hold their value and they’re reliable. At some point in life though, you have to calculate the fun to drive factor, the trucks are embarrassingly slow, outdated.

My 2012 FJ feels very sluggish. What do you think the problem must be?

It's pretty cool that the fj had the option for manual with the 4.0 only tacoma and fj u could pair with manual. It would be interesting to see if someone manual Trans swaps a 5th gen 4runner.

You guys must either have detuned for regulations versions or they need decent oil and a proper service? As my last gen 1grfe pulls 5.6 second with stock all terrains, stock.

@@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi that is very hard to believe. No stock Toyota truck/suv is getting mid 5 seconds to 60mph with a naturally aspirated engine. If it’s true then you should make a video of it. With some dragy results, it’s very accurate 👍🏻.

@@Jaimeleon20 I agree with him, I run street tires on mine and I've tested it numerous times and I always run low 6s high 5s. Btw mine is a 2010 2wd and weighs right at 4000 lbs I am also at around 800 ft above sea level

There’s a race on this channel from a couple of years ago and the 4.0 taco beat the 3.5. I think even the old 3.4 beat the 3.5 or was very close. 4.0 is the best.

@@Agent.K. yeah I wonder why Toyota switched to the 3.5. the 4.0 don't seem to hunt for gears either

@@Jv19979 to test it out for reliability as it is a better match for hybrid systems for 2022+ models. Toyota does things slow and doesn't wanna make mistakes as PHEV is the biggest future market.

@@marksjdejong electric is not the future. So many people will be on the side of the road with dead battery

@@Jv19979 that’s why PHEV. Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicle

It's not the engine it's the lighter weight that made it quicker. Newer one has better safety features and other equipment that add to the vehicle being slightly slower than the older one. Regardless all 3 are adequate.

same with the tundra

that’s false

Because IT WOULD smack all of them

@MysteriousOklahoma hilarious 😂🤣😅🤣😅🤣

@MysteriousOklahoma theory, until proven. That's the reality

@MysteriousOklahoma and what engine was in that first gen raptor? I can guarantee I know.

@MysteriousOklahoma where's those videos?

It's not a step backwards I own both and they are both excellent trucks. If it was that much of a step backwards it would not be selling as well as it does. Enjoy your truck.

I have a 2021 taco, love the truck but my only complaint is the trans... the trans just wants to be in the low gear all the time so I have to mash the pedal to wake it up, its annoying

I had a 2019 Tacoma manual, I hated the 3.5 after I got the wife a 2020 4Runner, so I picked up a 2021 4Runner. I love that torque.

@@JAMESWUERTELE and yet the Tacoma is faster off the line. I am glad you enjoy the 4runner I love them as well.

@@SimplyCarReviews Tacoma has good power and torque. However the transmission programming is terrible and makes driving not very enjoyable due to all the shifting, especially on the highway.

Matthew Robertson = Birdgoat. Not surprised.

Toyota = Supreme Durability. Not surprised. Next.......

I can imagine Tommy snickering.

Can you do it with a manual?

Yeah their surprisingly nimble I love my FJ despite the gas guzzling

Since when is weight distribution good on a empty pickup

Chance of 4.0 being in new 4runner is as big as 2jz.

You don’t put a cold air in an off road vehicle. Cold airs usually go down further than stock. Terrible for water crossings and wet conditions

@@Edgar-gx6yn no 🤦🏻‍♂️

My truck is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. Still love it though

Same, especially with the gearing on the 3.5 being better.

Not surprised at all. The 3.5 hp/tq peaks are at over 5k rpm, this is terrible for a "truck engine". The 4.0 makes tq at about 1k less rpm, which is much better. Many owners complain about the 3.5L.

@@trailrunnah8886 4R torque peak at 4400 RPM, Tacoma 3.5 Torque Peak at 4600 RPM. If you check the Horsepower peak its is only 400 RPM's apart.

@@Shakerhood69 is it? My bad. Either way, both are too high. I have a 4.0 4Runner, and while it feels better than the 3.5, it's still pretty gutless.

@Trail Runnah, Yeah neither one is a barn burner but on the plus side they will last forever.

Agreed! I have Pedal Commander on my 14 FJ and it does make a big difference in shift points and throttle response.

Does it make fuel more effecient?

@Pro4x Trdpro Another bangup job from Toyota. Seem to have no use for enthusiasts.

Sorry ass driver

Thanks for watching both!

I would be embarrassed to tell people I have a rav 4. At least these have a cool factor lol

And yet a bestseller year after year. 👍

LOL!

I disagree the V8 with a manual that's what I'm talking about.👍 I have an older Tundra 4.7 V8 in an 85 4Runner I put a manual in I can light the tires up for a couple of blocks and I can do mid 12's in the quarter mile on 33-in 12x5. inch wide T/A All Terrain radial tires with a 4-in lift for four wheeling not very aerodynamic. No offense just my two cents but screw your Mansi Pansy automatics anybody can drive one of those (to me that's not real driving. 👎 Most younger people don't even know how to drive stick these days perfect security device.😊😁👍 It's really sad that you can't even get a manual transmission in the new Supra (hence the term "sports car") much less a truck these days. Going back to 1999 (first year of the Tundra full size truck) Toyota at least in the States never sold the Tundra with the V8 and a M/T and they never had the option in the V8 4Runner either , either way they should have at least had an option 😡. You had to get the V6 Tundra to get to the M/T which they don't even have that option in the newer Tundra's. 👎😡💩

Not a 4x4 though buddy

@@Seattle808 I thought all RAV4 Prime are all wheel drive.

No

Yes

278 For the 4Runner and FJ. 265 for Tacoma.

Yes it does it starts with higher rpms off the line
