Why you should be thankful a 4Runner is old school

The only cool thing about new cars (specifically turbocharged ones) is that it's so easy to make them go fast. A brand new Golf GTI can make up to 100hp extra from just a tune...

Yea, turbo's also work good at altitude since they shove more air into an engine. The negative is that the additional stress prematurely wears on the engine. Same with a supercharger. The 4.0 naturally aspirated engine is rock solid even though some complain about its lack of power. Same goes with the old school 5 speed transmission, less complicated more reliable. There are plenty of horror stories about the new 8+ speed computerized transmissions.

Coming from numerous VW's (both diesel and gas) with forced induction, that's exactly why I was initially leaning toward an F-150 with the Coyote V8, but then eventually settled on the 4Runner. A naturally aspirated engine, with simple old school tech strongly appealed to me.
Yes the 4.0L and 5-speed auto have been around for a long time, but I'm hoping this rig will last me at least 25 years. I don't plan on it being a daily driver for more than a few years. As long as I take care of it, keep the miles down, and hopefully avoid accidents, I have absolutely no doubt it will do just that.

I could be horribly wrong, but I think the only technological difference between the two engines is that the 5.0L Coyote is direct injection. Hey Chevy is still using pushrod engines if you want simplicity lol

I AM glad the 4Runner is "old school" - that's one of the main reasons I bought it.

The Coyote has both port injection for low speeds and light loads (less carbon fouling!!), and direct injection for higher speeds and heavier loads - best of both worlds.
We have Chevrolets for our company work trucks. Let's just say I'm not a fan.

Wouldn’t an overhead cam be less complicated as there are no pushrods?

The Coyote is a beast of an engine, I’ll just say that.

Except for the voice, the guy on that video reminds me of Dennis Hopper!
