The 2.7 Ecoboost is very adequate. Better than the 4runner's engine by far, in comparison.

On the contrary, the twin turbo 2.7l is one of the quickest in the lineup and tows up to 9,000lbs with a robust 10 speed automatic. It is faster than the 5 liter v8 and even the 6.7l diesel. But then, you can't cheat physics. Longevity is always a question mark for a souped up small engine. Top notch maintenance is a key factor in how long the engine will last.

I am not talking about horse power or acceleration I am talking about torque. The engine may be adequate as it's still new but for that category of vehicle I will stick to a NA V6 engine or a diesel

That vehicle is in the same class with a Tundra not 4runner

The 2.7l twin turbo develops 400lb ft of torque (same as the NA 5.0l v8 ) vs 265 lb ft in the 3.3l NA V6 engine. There is no other NA ford truck engine currently in production that has higher torque. 400 lb ft is more than enough to tow 9k pounds especially when coupled to the 10 spd auto.

Your money, your choice grin
They can both be had brand new at about the same price point ($40k, even before incentives) as Ford discounts its trucks all day everyday.
Re: My New Horse by sultaan(m): 6:10pm On Jan 28, 2021
For daily driving it is adequate for me, my drive is about 20 miles daily in total.

I thought rhe classes for comparison are

Ranger >>> Hilux
F150 >>> Tacoma / 4runner
F250 >>> Tundra

I may be wrong sha
Re: My New Horse by sultaan(m): 9:56pm On Jan 29, 2021
Ranger, Hilux, Tacoma,Colorado =1 Ton
F150, Ram 1500, Tundra, Silverado 1500=. 1.5 Ton
F250, Ram 2500, Silverado 2500= Heavy Duty 2.5 ton
F350, Ram 3500, Silverado 3500= Heavy Duty 3.5 ton
F450, Silverado 4500= Heavy Duty 4.5 ton
F650 etc
There is a very wide range of trucks it is beyond the imagination of most Nigerians how much goods needs to be moved around.

The light duty 1.5 T truck are mainly for do it yourself, and contractors.
If you have a farm and you have to move animals feeds etc, then a LD, or HD will be your truck.
I go to home depot a lot because I like to do things myself, so I need that space to carry stuffs

The ford F-series Is available in different forms. Just that the 150 is more popular than the rest.

Yes we can pitch the tacoma against the F-series but tacoma was toyota answer to an upscale truck not just ordinary truck.

No tacoma I not as powerful as a Tundra tacoma comes majorly in V6 sometimes has 4 cylinder engine.

Tundra depending is V6 to V8 and has more cargo space and can carry more tonnage than tacoma.
