This will answer most questions on the new TR5

in the Car And Driver september 09 issue, it states that the 4runner is getting the 4.6 v8 and 6-speed auto. itmentions nothing about a 4 cyl :confused:
 
I bought my 08 V6 Limited largely because of the V6. After 2 Suburbans and one YukonXL Denali 20-24mpg is sweet and this truck does everything the others did. Toyota didn't "dump" the V8 the current CAFE regulations passed by the Obama crew will eliminate the V8 engine almost completely.

The V8 engine got voted out last November. :thanks:
 
Does anybody know if the new 270hp V6 takes regular or premium gas?
I did read that it is 10.5 to 1 compression so it probably has to use premium.
 
Confirmed ...they do take regular unleaded.

The manual says 87 octane is recommended.

Interesting tidbit though. I read that HP output was 258 using 87 octane and torque was also down a few lb/ft, albeit on wikipedia's description of the 1GR-FE. Not sure if that's confirmed or anything, but interesting nonetheless.
 
Maintainance Schedule

ya know doesn't really say what gas to put in it or when to change first oil change... There is some talk of 10k miles for first oil changes because toyota changed it. They need to clarify.
 
Thats crazy ....... I'm ready to change my oil now. but what about tire rotation, filters, trans, 4x4, and all the other things that make our runners last long and strong. I want a printed schedule that goes by reccommended milage for all service items out to 100K miles.........

It's in a separate book labeled "Warranty&Maintenance Guide"......not in the owners manual.The Maintenance log is in there.
And ,yes, confirmed thru my service manager that the oil change interval has been changed to 10,000 miles for normal duty service.Call your dealership service MANAGER and ask him.
