Article says V8 in 2012, BS?
 
Unsure who or where this article is from but it states that the 2012 will offer a 4 cylinder, a 6 and an 8. BS?? Doesn't appear to have much to back it up though. Thoughts?

That looks like a really credible news source.

Here is another article that mentions the V8 as well...maybe from someplace other than the US???

2012 Toyota 4Runner - Car News, Pictures, Price and Specification on AlbumCars.Com

If you try to read the write up on this site, it is like it was originally in a different language and it was poorly translated. Check out this web site which discuss Albumcars.com. I think the original write up here was from Indonesia. www.albumcars.com

This is not true as the article says it will be a 4.7 V8. The 4.7 was discontinued and replaced with the 4.6 in the Lexus and Tundra trucks.

Maybe they meant that Toyota is putting in the 5.7L engine and it was a typo?? All kidding aside, I don't believe those sources. The 4.7L engine is no longer used and would more than likely not be put in the 5th gen 4Runner.

Not to mention the horsepower and torque is wrong that was a previous V6

But but but, it says so on the Interweb, so's it must be true, right? :lmao:

I was dying reading this.:wtf:

As much as I would like a V8 option when I show up to buy the TE in 2012, its hard to believe the V8 and 4 cylinders would be back so quickly after Toyota removed them.

I really hope to see a V8 soon. If not, I may have to look elsewhere. There are very few V8 midsized SUVs. Toyota needs to do something. A V8, V6 Turbo, Diesel.. Just give us more power.

Heck, I'd settle for a TRD supercharger for the V6.

Agreed. I have a black 2010 sr5 and a bunch of mods I *want* to do, but I'm holding off modification too far from stock (aside from adding a navigation head unit) until I get a look at the mid cycle refresh. I'm hoping for a v8 option on at least one trim package, and hopefully blizzard pearl for the trail edition. Those 2 things are the biggies for me. All the rest I can change or plan to. But I think a v8 blizzard pearl trail edition would get me to trade in a heartbeat.

It's absolutely true. You can be the first one to have a V8 if you give them your credit card number for a security deposit.:lmao:
