Penny pinchers don’t buy today’s diesels. EPA has so much stuff attached to them that the efficiencies are hurting. I’d love to delete my 6.7 f350 - better mileage, less waste, more efficient and reliable.
By the time I get around to that, it’ll be a felony the likes of killing Santa Claus.
A crate 2.7 ecoboost with a 6 or 10 speed swapped into my tacoma, though, would be fun.
Craaap here we go, another thread derail....you're really trying to get me in trouble. I am not going to be allowed to hangout with ya anymore...
No they don't! The days of the cheap diesel has long sailed. I don't get why they tout about having good fuel economy, yet is going to cost you. Whole point of wanting a vehicle with good fuel economy is to save money. At least it is for me...I don't get into that whole braggin' rights (Looky look I have a diesel!) ****************.
Crate 2.7 EcoBoost sure would fun in a Tacoma. Though think you're better off installing a turbo on the 2.7 I4 that is already in there, be a lot less headache.
I am not much for engine swaps anyways...stock is more than fine. Engine swaps are for throwing good money after bad...
Very good friend of mine is swinging through here this week. You think I am cheap...I got nothing on him. He is
44 years old,
RETIRED, and decided they are going to travel all summer. He just picked up a V8 4Runner and a decent sized tow behind popup camper....all for $8700. He does bicycling touring...so that is a luxury for him. After traveling all summer...he is going to sell it, and knowing him he'll make money on it. The profit will most likely pay for gas and food. Basically travel all summer for free.
That is how you do it....all this arguing over $40-50-60K+ trucks and their **************** payloads and whatnot. Seems kinda silly...highly entertaining though!
