Hey /o/, I am going to be getting a mid-sized truck soon and have been really leaning towards the 2002-older toyotas. And I was just wondering just how under powered are the 4-cylinders? Are the v6's any good? Any other problems with them that i should be looking out for?
>jap crap
Get a new f150

Pre 1996 4cyl is underpowered
Pre 1996 v6 has issues but apparently they can be resolved
1996+ 4cyl was better but still slow in a 4x4
1996+ v6 was breddy gud
Check for rust

Alright, well the 3.4 V6 is a good engine, its comparable to the Jeep 4.0. The 3.4 can be found in trucks 95.5 - well past 2002. The 4cyl doesnt have a huge amount of power but has more than you would think for a 4cyl. Which is fine for offroad. The 3.0 is not as good of an engine as the 3.4 but will do the job. I have a friend running toyo MTs (255/85/16) and his 3.0 can push them around up to highway speeds and offroad(4.30 factory gearing).

Said the guy buying frame rust masquerading as a vehicle.
Why buying such an old truck? If you want something that old though I'd go with Toyota. Also don't forget about a used Ranger, these were solid little trucks.

Mine never had rust
Sold it years ago with 250k miles. Still see it driving around.
I have a Mazda 4x4 now
400k miles on my dad's with the 22RE 4 cyl. You can't kill them, he claims it even has all the original hoses. No rust but he bought it new in '91 and it's never lived outside of California.
Have a 2003 Tacoma. Very happy to have a V6.
The I4 has to work harder and only gets a little better mileage, but the HP gain with the V6 makes it very worth it
