    Newbie here again: Did any generation of the 4runner come with the same V8 used in the early Tundra trucks? Thanks, Ron.

    4.7 liter 2UZ-FE 2003 - 2009 4th gen 4Runner
    Per Wikipedia:
    2UZ-FE
    [​IMG]
    2UZ-FE
    The 2UZ-FE was a 4.7 L; 284.6 cu in (4,663 cc) version built in Tahara, Aichi, Japan and at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Alabama. Unlike its other UZ counterparts, this version uses a cast iron block to increase durability, as it was designed for low-revving, high-torque pickup and SUV applications. Its bore and stroke is 94 mm × 84 mm (3.70 in × 3.31 in).[2] Output varies by implementation, but one VVT-i variant produces 202 kW (271 hp; 275 PS) at 4800 rpm with 427 N⋅m (315 lb⋅ft) of torque at 3400 rpm. JDM versions produce 173 kW (232 hp; 235 PS) at 4800 rpm and 422 N⋅m (311 lb⋅ft) at 3600 rpm, while Australian models produce 170 kW (228 hp; 231 PS) at 4800 rpm and 410 N⋅m (302 lbf⋅ft) at 3600 rpm.[2]

    Like the 1UZ-FE it has aluminum DOHC cylinder heads, MFI fuel injection, 4 valves per cylinder with bucket tappets, one-piece cast camshafts, and a cast aluminum intake manifold. For 2010, it was replaced by the 1UR-FE or 3UR-FE, depending on the country.

    Applications (calendar years):[7]

    Toyota Racing Development offered a bolt-on supercharger kit for the 2000–2003 Tundra/Sequoia and the 1998-2003 LX 470.

    Another 2UZ-FE variation adds VVT-i and electronic throttle control.

    Applications (calendar years):[7]

    Thank you for that amazing answer to my Q. This is so good I've already printed it out and copied it--the original will be pinned to the wall over my work bench, and the other goes into a plastic folder in my "4Runner" research binder. Ron...

    Should also note, there are older 4.7 and newer ones. I believe the plastic upper plenum on the 2uz (which is the newer) produces a bit more HP or torque. It’s been a few years since I’ve seen the numbers.

    Also, the V8 4Runner uses full-time 4wd. Somewhat like AWD; people seem to prefer this in snow.

    cheerz!

    I believe there were a few 2wd only 4.7s produced, but not many.

    True, there are plenty of 2wd versions floating around, usually with low miles as well.

    Just trying to note that 4wd V8 are all full-time 4wd.
