Toyota V8's Are Fast

[V8Man]

In a recent post a member was trying to decide between a Gen 4 V6 or V8. Some members posted that the 4.7 V8 are quick and do a very good job moving the heavy SUV around. Others laughed and said fast and quick can only happen in a sports car. “I am not a wise man…” Forrest Gump, but I do know that cars that are lighter have a greater hp to weight ratio are going to be faster. But for a truck the little 4.7 V8 is pretty darn good.

Look at the recent article. The Toyota 5.7 V8 in the full size Tundra is listed in Yahoos “Fastest Cars Under $50,000".

Toyota is renowned for its V8 engines and for its solid trucks. Put them together an you have a seriously quick pickup.

Hell yes. My tundra is a double cad 4x4 long bed. Loaded with tools , ladder rack , big all terrain tires and random payloads I can take almost any car / truck on the road. My 4runner is also quick for a v 6 with 33s but nothing like the brute power of the Toyota 5.7 my first tundra was the 4.7 and it was a beast too.

The 5.7L are extremely quick. When I had one as a loaner, I kept squealing the tires and snapping my neck. It is fun to drive!!
