Toyota 4runner Limited 0-60mph

Well I had about a 90lb sound system, A/C on, lost a bit of traction so VSC kicked in. Maybe a little better. Not much.
 
Don't be too sure.

I've, perhaps, been guilty in the past of over-touting the V8s performance vis-a-vis the V6. Recent discussion has tended to make me think there's seemingly no reason an unloaded 4th gen V6 shouldn't be around 7 seconds. Remember, it's hauling 200lbs less than the V8.

It should be around 7 seconds--7.2--according to cars.com. The V8 is listed at 7.1 and change for the 4X4. According to most stats, the GVW is not even 200 pounds different, (140) as i recall, depending on trim level, which is what, 3.5% of 5500#? Not enough to overcome the massive torque difference and the better gearing of the V8 in the same conditions.

'05 and up, same gearing.

The curb weight difference is a solid 200lbs according to the '05 brochure.

Once any loading occurs, all bets are off, but head to head unloaded it would seem to be close on paper.
